[testing_testing]

Have true blue Singaporeans go Nepal or Bhutan for hiking trails or climbing.

Singaporeans can be very adventurous one

Wonder how they going to drink water when the water in the lake is so muddy and dirty… They refuse external help, it will take longer time to complete the rescue work. Moi guess is earthquake that’s why it shift the plates causing the glaciers to collapse. Can really see the strength and power of water current and water energy streaming from the upper dam downwards then when it overtakes the tour buses, the buses exploded and so the people trapped inside also split up.

Nepal had a devastating earthquake some years ago now hit by mud avalanches.the tourism industry will suffer .

 

[Mr.Canberra]

It was a historical exception
ang moh countries chartering flights out is the norm
tia gong
At first tell them where to go / how to help themselves
but no face got pressured cos every other country was making arranging flights to fly their people out (and they even took Singaporeans too)
that's why splash newspaper big big that round

What do you expect from PAPaya?

Many years back commercial flights were halted for almost a week when the red shirt protesters hijacked the Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport.

My flight to Singapore was affected so I gave the SG Embassy in Bangkok a call to see if there are any evacuation plans for Sinkies. KNN the duty staff told me there are no such plans at the moment.

From then on I know the SG passport is only good for visa free travel but when get into serious incidents I think better 自己保重!

During then Japan, South Korea, etc. chartered special flights for their citizens.

Kathmandu not that affected by the catastrophic flood. Only thing is the flood victims got directed there. Still can visit if u r not into trekking

and for those doing trekking, they already know there are dangers and it can happen in various places too. Would there be other relatively safer locations that u will otherwise considered?

Chances are contacting MY embassy and ask for help is better since they are known to charter flights to fly their citizens out. ASEAN members can help each other in times of crisis based on the guidelines.

Not into trekking. Just normal tourist historical places. Ok noted for safety other than trekking

No enough electricity too? The flash flood damaged most of the completed and under construction hydropower plants and teansmission lines along that river. 95% of nepal electricity is from hydropower.

Hearsy there are missing S'poreans. Wonder how many. Who's helping to locate them? Very sad........ Pray for all affected. Global warming is the cause. Experts say more to come, not only in Nepal.

 

[Smarty22]

Those Singaporeans victims should be on pilgrimage to Nepal already identified two on such journey

Poorer countries or countries with poor policing all got similar issues like theft pickpocketing touts and blatant dishonest businesses. But the pro is they are the cheapest

that’s why some say those countries are not popular for Singaporeans and these are major reasons. However if only want safe (and not hot) countries, limited options in Asia

it is an eye opener to see how they cremate the deceased ...



last photo, they will fish out the gold teeth and gold jewelleries after the cremation process, usually they will pocket it if the deceased family did not ask for it back
