The Singapore Government notes with concern the loss of lives and destruction caused by the floods and landslides in Myanmar over the past week. In support of the flood relief efforts in Myanmar, the Singapore Government will donate US$100,000 as seed money for the Singapore Red Cross to launch a public appeal for cash donations to the flood victims in Myanmar.
As a close friend and fellow ASEAN Member State, Singapore stands by Myanmar during this difficult time. Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Law K Shanmugam has also written a letter to Union Minister for Foreign Affairs U Wunna Maung Lwin to convey his condolences.
