Dear President Obama,
I was deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic shooting in Orlando, Florida over the weekend, resulting in the loss of many innocent lives and injuries to many more.
On behalf of the Government and people of Singapore, I offer my deepest condolences to the victims and their families on this horrific tragedy. Nothing can excuse such brutal and senseless acts of violence. Singapore and Singaporeans stand in solidarity with the United States and the American people during this time of grief.
Yours sincerely
LEE HSIEN LOONG
The Honourable Barack Obama
