Eight Singaporeans, including a six-month-old baby, were trapped after a boat they were in reportedly overturned in Lagoi, Bintan on Sunday (May 31).
Sayyid Muhammad Fariid Syed Amzah Alsagoff and his wife Sharifah Shafiqah Syed Ezzat, both 27, were on a three-day family vacation in Bintan with their six-month-old baby daughter from Saturday, reported Berita Harian (BH) on Wednesday.
The incident occurred just as the family were on their mangrove tour on Sunday, at around 2pm.
The boat they were in was caught in sudden heavy rain and strong currents as it approached a mangrove area known to be home to snakes and other dangerous wildlife.
The boat was carrying 10 people, comprising of eight family members, including the baby and a nine-year-old child, the boat captain and a tour guide.
Sharifah was seated next to her husband, with their infant daughter strapped to his chest in a baby carrier under his life jacket.
