PETALING JAYA: Melissa Lee shuddered to think what could have happened to her and her relatives had they hung around a little longer at the Siam Paragon Mall in Bangkok, the scene of a mass shooting tragedy on Tuesday.

The 35-year-old entrepreneur, who was in the Thai capital to attend a concert by British singer and songwriter Sam Smith that night, said she and her aunts and cousins narrowly missed the terrifying rampage as they had just left the premises before the gunman struck.
