Just yesterday, a piece of news shocked everyone across the world: a China Eastern Airlines flight, MU 5735, crashed in Guangxi, China.
And though there has been much concern and speculation regarding the identities of the passengers on the flight, here’s one piece of information that might make you heave a sigh of relief for now.
According to a spokesperson from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), “there have been no reports of Singaporeans on board the flight”.
The spokesperson also mentioned that the Singapore government, which has expressed sorrow over this incident, has been “monitoring the situation closely and was in contact with the Chinese authorities”.
“As MU 5735 had taken off from Kunming and was headed for Guangzhou, we have also reached out to Singaporeans in Yunnan and Guangzhou who have e-registered with the MFA,” the spokesperson added.
Currently, search and rescue operations are taking place.
However, according to a rescue official, the plane has apparently been “completely disintegrated”.
China Eastern Airlines has also updated its website, changing the entire website interface to black and white as a solemn mark of grief and respect.
The Singaporean government has extended help and support to the Chinese government and has also offered condolences to the loved ones of both the passengers and crew members who were on flight MU 5735.
