The couple's family members are expected to fly to Taiwan on April 6.
In a post on April 5 in the Facebook group ‘Hualien Earthquake Relief Information’, group administrator Sunny Sandro Wang said he was urgently looking to connect with friends and family members of the couple, Neo Siew Choo and Sim Hwee Kok.
“We need a recent photo of them, and if we can get an understanding of their background and abilities, it will help rescuers on the scene determine where they might have moved to, or any judgment they could have made.” However, the flight details and number of people travelling have not been confirmed, said the department. It added that once travel details are confirmed, all necessary assistance will be provided to the family.
The bus reached the destination, Tianxiang station, at 8am, but the couple had already alighted halfway during the journey. It is unclear where they had gotten off, said the authorities.
