In response to press queries on the imposition of sanctions by the US on three companies based in Singapore, the MFA Spokesman said:
"MFA has just been formally informed by the US Embassy in Singapore of the stated sanctions today, which affect three companies in Singapore that are linked to a Myanmar national, Tay Za. The implications of these US sanctions are still not entirely clear. We are studying them and will also seek further clarification from the US if necessary."
