S'pore gets a new year surprise from 2016

1. What do you think was the most surprising thing that happened this week?

It's a new year filled with new hopes and beginnings, but some things just serve to remind us that our fears and worries may continue to weigh on our mood.

2017 started off with horrific news of a mass shooting in one of the more exclusive nightclubs in Istanbul, Turkey. At least 39 were killed and over 70 injured. While the Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack, the gunman is still on the loose. Terrorism is still a force to be reckoned with.
