SINGAPORE: Singapore's Foreign Affairs Minister George Yeo said there's "a cloud of uncertainty" over the upcoming ASEAN Summit in Thailand in December.

He adds that a number of countries have already raised their concerns. But as member countries had assumed it will be held, Mr Yeo says there has been no contingency plan for this.

He said "We are very troubled by it. We hope that all groups in Thailand will have the political will to compromise and find a way out for the country. The tourism industry is badly affected. I worry that the ASEAN summit will be affected."

He was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's visit to Chile. - CNA/vm
