EYES ON FLOODS IN HAT YAI

Singapore officials and athletes are keeping a close eye on the conditions after deadly floods hit Thailand's Songkhla province, which will host nine sports during the upcoming SEA Games.

Due to the scale of the crisis, the Thai government declared a state of emergency in the region on Nov 25, a day after it was declared a disaster zone by Songkhla's governor.

This follows three days of record rainfall of 630mm which triggered severe floods and killed at least 13 people.

The Thai meteorological department has forecast more rain and possible flash floods in the coming days.

Singaporeans have been advised by the Republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Nov 25 to avoid travelling to the province while the flooding persists.
