SINGAPORE – The family of the boy who drowned at the Changi Beach Park on Saturday (Aug 22) did not know he had gone to the beach, a relative told The Sunday Times on Sunday (Aug 23) morning.
They had thought that 14-year-old Putera Muhammad Indra Shazrine Suzaini had gone to study with a group of friends and were shocked when they got the call informing them that the Secondary 2 boy had drowned, said the boy’s stepgranduncle.
“He was a very quiet boy, didn’t like to talk. But he was very good to his mother and father,” transport company owner Mr Noor Azman Marwi, 56, told ST at the Singapore General Hospital morgue.
“I saw him during gatherings or whenever I visited their home,” he said, adding that Putera would sometimes tag along with his stepfather for events organised by a motorbike charity club, in which both men are members.
According to eyewitnesses who posted online about the incident, Putera was part of a group of about six boys who had gone fishing and swimming at Changi Beach Park.
Condolences poured in online for Putera’s mother who goes by the Facebook moniker Lynn Boyan Putra.
