MFA urges S'poreans to evacuate
THE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) yesterday urged Singaporeans within 100km of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan to evacuate.
The Foreign Ministry also asked Singaporeans in the quake-battered prefectures of Fukushima and Miyagi to "evacuate the area with immediate effect".
However, a handful of Singaporeans within the radius declined to leave.
"Twenty Singaporeans in Sendai have indicated to our mission that they wish to stay behind. Our embassy will continue to stay in touch with them," MFA said.
