Family remains hopeful even as search efforts for missing Singaporean in Western Australia prove unsuccessful
SINGAPORE - Five days after Mr Goh Heng Yi was swept into the sea by waves at Australia's western coast, his family is still hoping for a miracle.
"The man was standing on rocks within metres of the ocean when a large wave broke over the rocks, knocking him into the ocean," said a Western Australia Police Force spokesman. "Our family is already very distraught, and being locked up for 14 days will cause us a lot of emotional distress," Mr Goh, a 64-year-old retiree, told The Straits Times.
"As a parent, for this to happen and for us to not be able to be there, it is very sad, and a cruel situation to be in. Even if he cannot be found, we still have hope, we want to go there and pray for him as his family."
