In response to media queries on the death of a Singaporean in Bangkok from last evening’s bomb blast, the MFA Spokesman said:
“We regret to confirm that a Singaporean woman was among those killed by yesterday’s deadly bomb blast in Bangkok. Our Embassy in Bangkok is currently providing consular assistance to the family of the deceased.
We extend our deepest condolences to the bereaved family for their loss. We are deeply saddened by this development, and reiterate our strong condemnation of this indiscriminate act of violence.
Mrs Chua Siew San, Singapore’s Ambassador to Thailand, visited the other injured Singaporeans at the various local hospitals earlier this morning. All are receiving medical attention, while those with light injuries have been discharged. Our Embassy will continue to provide consular support for the injured Singaporeans and their next-of-kin. MFA has also contacted the majority of the registered Singaporeans in Bangkok. We are monitoring the situation closely.”
