The Singapore Government on Thursday (March 4) urged its citizens currently in Myanmar to leave the protest-riven country as soon as they can.
A statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) also asks Singaporeans to avoid travelling to Myanmar, where civilians protesting the Feb 1 military coup have clashed with security forces across the country.
The United Nations said that 38 people were killed on Wednesday in the bloodiest face-off since the coup when police and soldiers opened fire with live rounds in several cities and towns.
