Channel NewsAsia - Wednesday, November 26
SINGAPORE: Singapore’s Foreign Ministry (MFA) urges Singaporeans to postpone their travel to Bangkok to a later date if they have no pressing need to go there.
A MFA’s spokesman says the situation in the Thai capital remains uncertain and they are closely monitoring the situation.
He adds that Singaporeans intending to travel to Thailand should monitor news developments there.
And before they travel, they are advised to register with the Ministry at www.mfa.gov.sg.
This will enable the Ministry and the Singapore Embassy in Bangkok to contact them and render necessary consular assistance in case of emergencies.
When in Bangkok, he advises Singaporeans to avoid areas where there is a risk of disturbance, like the Government House.
They should also take the necessary precautions for their personal safety, including buying comprehensive medical and travel insurance.
He adds that during this period of uncertainty, Singaporeans must be prepared to face inconveniences in their travel.
And should Singaporeans need help, they can contact the Singapore Embassy in Bangkok at 129 South Sathorn Road, Bangkok 10120, or call 001—66—(81) 844—3580.
They can also reach the Ministry’s duty officer at 6379 8800 or 6379 8855.

SIA says flights to Mumbai operating normally
Channel NewsAsia - 56 minutes ago
SINGAPORE: Singapore Airlines (SIA) says flights in and out of Mumbai are operating normally for now.
But spokesman Stephen Forshaw said there was a slightly higher no—show rate than normal on Thursday morning’s flight.
He said this is expected as passengers take time to assess what is going on. SIA’s office in Mumbai will be closed today.
Mr Forshaw said reservations inquiries are being supported by SIA’s office in Delhi.
Passengers travelling from Mumbai especially should allow extra time to get to the airport, as the normal road blocks and security checks have been tightened.
