It was a close shave, but protesters did not target him when they stopped him on Sunday afternoon.
Singaporean Izwan Abdullah was on a six-day holiday with his parents and an aunt when the incident happened in the Thai capital, Bangkok.
He said he was alone in a taxi travelling from Chatuchak Weekend Market back to his hotel just outside of town when he was stopped at a road block manned by anti-government protesters.They asked his taxi driver who he was. When the cabby told them he was a Singaporean, they waved him away.
Other Singaporeans there also said that things were calm where they were and they could move about without problems.
Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has advised Singaporeans to stay away from large crowds and demonstrations, monitor local news and developments closely, take all necessary precautions for personal safety, and purchase comprehensive travel and medical insurance.
In addition, Singaporeans are also encouraged to eRegister at https://eregister.mfa.gov.sg/ so they can be contacted should the need arise.
