SINGAPORE: A Singaporean family of six holidaying in Sydney found themselves in the middle of a terror attack on Sunday (Dec 14) when gunmen fired on beachgoers at Bondi Beach, leaving at least 16 dead and dozens of others injured.

Recalling the harrowing experience, Karin Lee, 44 and Dr Edward Wong, 49, told The Straits Times in a phone interview about 12 hours later that they were at the famous beach from about 1pm local time (10am Singapore time) with their triplet daughters, 12, and son aged five.
