Members of a Singapore delegation in Lombok, Indonesia, for a security conference are safe after Sunday's magnitude 7.0 earthquake, said Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam.
In a Facebook post at about 9.55pm, the Minister said that he was working on his laptop in his room on the 10th floor of a building when the quake struck.
"Suddenly the room shook violently, walls cracked, it was quite impossible to stand up. Heard screams," he added.
Mr Shanmugam shared that he left the room and made his way downstairs while the building was still shaking, adding that the power in the building had gone out for a while.
He noted that while the Singapore delegation was safe, there were casualties among other guests.
Mr Shanmugam advised Singaporeans in Lombok to contact the Singapore embassy in Jakarta at +62-(811)-863-348.
"Hoping that there are no serious injuries and that everyone will be ok," he said.
