Search efforts for missing Singaporean continue in Singapore, Greece
Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) is working with the Greek authorities in continuing efforts to track down Singaporean medical student Kouk Leong Jin, who is believed to have been missing in Greece since Tuesday.
The Greek police reportedly believe Mr Kouk is alive, after investigations yielded results.
In a statement on Wednesday, an MFA spokesman added the Honorary Consul-General in Athens has been monitoring the efforts of the Greek authorities to locate the 28-year-old Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School student, as well as "making his own efforts to locate Mr Kouk, including publicising Mr Kouk's profile in the local media."
The spokesman added, "We have sought, through the Greek Ambassador to Singapore, the full assistance of the Greek authorities to locate Mr Kouk Leong Jin and emphasised the importance we place on expeditious resolution of this case."
The MFA has also contacted Interpol for assistance, while the Singapore Police Force is working with its Greek counterparts.
"Our HCG has also been extending all necessary assistance to the members of Mr Kouk's family currently in Athens. Some members of the small Singaporean community in Athens have also stepped forward to offer their support for Mr Kouk's family," the spokesman said.
