SINGAPORE: A Singaporean family of four died while holidaying in Malaysia on Thursday morning, leaving behind a 2-month-old baby.

The family was travelling in a seven-seater vehicle when it skidded along the 150-km mark of the north-south highway.

The car crashed into two trees, flinging the baby girl, Jolene Bong, more than 10m away.

Her brother, Justin, mother, Kor Yee Lin, and grandmother, Pang Chee Seng, died on the spot.

Her father, Bong Kwang Hong, who was driving the car, died shortly after arriving at Tangkak Hospital in Johor Bahru.

Malaysian police urge witnesses to contact them about the accident.
