“As of this evening, we have contacted all the registered Singaporeans in Tainan and Kaohsiung, and they are safe. The Singapore Trade Office will continue to monitor the situation closely, and would like to advise Singaporeans in the affected areas to remain calm and exercise vigilance as there could be aftershocks.
