S'pore offers help to China
SINGAPORE stands ready to help China in any way it can in the massive mudslide in north-west China's Gansu Province, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
He made this offer in his condolence letter to Chinese Premier Wen Jiaobao on Wednesday, on the tragic loss of lives and destruction caused by the landslide in Zhouqu country in Gansu, which has killed over 1,100, with 627 others still missing.
'On behalf of the Government and all Singaporeans, I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the government and people of China on this calamity, especially those who have lost loved ones,' said PM Lee in his letter.
'Under the able leadership of you and your colleagues, I am sure that rescue and relief efforts will be swift and the people of Gansu will overcome this tragedy.
'Singapore stands ready to respond if there is any way we can assist. I wish those injured a speedy recovery and hope that the affected region will return to normalcy before long.'
Hopes of finding any survivors faded as the thunderstorms battered the county seat of Zhouqu on Wednesday night, nearly four days after the mudslides hit the town.
Heavy rains which are forecast through Friday could cause the debris being blocked in the artificial lake in Bailong River to burst and flood the already-devastated areas, putting both survivors and rescuers further at risk, reported Xinhua news agency.
The provincial government has ordered a mass evacuation of residents in areas prone to flooding and geological disasters.
