One month on, families try to move past quake


ON June 5, an earthquake shook Mount Kinabalu and sent rocks raining down on a group of climbers from Tanjong Katong Primary School who were on a school expedition. Ten families from Singapore lost loved ones, many just 12-year-olds, in the deadly disaster.

A month on, while the pain is still a bitter reality, some families are trying their best to heal and move on. Some of them are planning what was unthinkable just weeks ago: returning to Mount Kinabalu.
