Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesman's Comments on the Bomb Explosions in Thailand

        Singapore strongly condemns the series of bomb explosions in Thailand, which have resulted in the loss of innocent lives and injuries to many. We extend our deepest condolences to the bereaved families and wish the injured a speedy recovery.

        The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has contacted most of the registered Singaporeans in the affected areas and verified that they are safe. We will continue to contact the remaining registered Singaporeans. The Singapore Embassy in Bangkok is also in contact with the local authorities to ascertain whether any Singaporeans are injured or directly affected by the bombings. As of now, there are no reports of any Singaporeans injured or directly affected by the bombings. For Singaporeans in the affected areas who have not registered with the Ministry, please let your family and loved ones know that you are safe, or contact the Ministry or the Embassy if you need urgent assistance. For consular updates, please refer to MFA’s website at www.mfa.gov.sg.
