One of 2 S’poreans still unaccounted for following Bangkok fire
Channel NewsAsia - 1 hour 27 minutes ago
SINGAPORE: One of the two Singaporeans that is still unaccounted for following the Santika Pub inferno in Bangkok has been identified as an employee from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS).
CAAS said in a statement that one other officer from the company is injured and has been hospitalised in Bangkok.
Both officers were colleagues of Mr Teo Sze Siong who died in the blaze.
CAAS said both were with Mr Teo when the fire broke out.
Separately, Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said the body of the late Mr Teo has been identified by his next—of—kin. The ministry and its Embassy in Bangkok are currently helping the family.
It added it will ensure the safe and speedy repatriation of the body and has conveyed its condolences to the family of the late Mr Teo.
MFA said it continues to render assistance to the next—of—kin of the two Singaporeans who are still unaccounted for including arranging for the next—of—kin to travel to Bangkok.
CAAS said Mr Teo joined the company in 1995 as an air traffic controller.
It added over the past three years, Mr Teo took on planning and managerial positions in the company.
Two other Singaporeans who were injured in the fire are not CAAS employees. — CNA/vm
