The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our Embassy in Bangkok are assisting the family of the late Mr Teo Sze Siong to bring his body back to Singapore by this evening.
We continue to render assistance to the next-of-kin of the two Singaporeans who are still unaccounted for. Our Embassy continues to work closely with the local authorities to determine their status, and also ascertain if there are any more Singaporeans affected.
