The MFA Spokesperson said:

“The Singapore Government extends our deepest condolences to Indonesia, and the families who lost loved ones and were affected by the earthquakes and tsunami that struck Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, on 28 September 2018.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is monitoring the situation closely. The Singapore Embassy in Jakarta is in contact with a Singaporean in Palu. The Embassy had worked with the Indonesian authorities and evacuated him.  He has since left Palu safely.

As there may be more aftershocks, Singaporeans in Central Sulawesi and surrounding regions should take the necessary safety precautions, monitor the local news for updates, and heed the advice of the local authorities. Singaporeans should also stay in touch with your family and friends so that they know you are safe. Those who require consular assistance should contact our Embassy in Jakarta at +62 811 863 348 or the 24-hour MFA Duty Office at +65 6379 8800/8855.”
