Navigation Primary Navigation Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular Secondary Navigation Government Education Search Search: One S’porean dead, two injured in Bangkok pub fire during New Year celebrations Channel NewsAsia - 1 hour 11 minutes ago SINGAPORE : One Singaporean man is believed to have died in a fire that broke out at Santika Pub in Bangkok during New Year celebrations early January 1, according to wire reports. Two other Singaporeans are also injured in the pub during New Year celebrations just after midnight. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said in a statement that the two had suffered minor injuries and are in hospital. It added that it was working closely with local authorities to ascertain if any other Singaporeans have been affected. According to reports, at least 59 people, including a number of foreigners, died in the nightclub which has a capacity of 1,000. But it is not clear how many people were there at the time of the blaze. Meanwhile, local media reports put the number of injured at about 200. The party had been touted as a "Goodbye Santika" event as the pub owner was planning to move to another location. Police said the fire may have been caused by firecrackers or pyrotechnics or an electrical fault, but have ruled out arson. Singaporeans with friends or relatives who are known to be in the vicinity of the affected area but who remain uncontactable can contact the Singapore Embassy in Bangkok. They can also contact the MFA Duty Office, 24 hours, or the Embassy of the Republic of Singapore in Bangkok.
