[TerrexLee]

SINGAPORE — In the midst of a major political upheaval in Myanmar, 17 Singaporeans have chosen to return home after the Yangon International Airport reopened earlier this month.

Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan said in Parliament on Tuesday (Feb 16) that they had returned to Singapore on Feb 5 and 12, after weekly relief flights between Yangon and Singapore resumed on Feb 4.

There are about 500 Singaporeans in Myanmar who have registered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).

For Singaporeans who have yet to register with the ministry, Dr Balakrishnan urges them to do so quickly.

He warned that “the situation in Myanmar remains volatile”, and advised Singaporeans there to avoid public gatherings and demonstrations, to abide by all local laws and regulations, and to monitor the news closely.
