The article reports on the tragic massacre of members of the Nepalese royal family and the mourning that followed in Singapore.
The British High Commission in Singapore announced that its flag would be flown at half-mast for three days as a mark of respect. Nepalese citizens, Singaporeans and members of the diplomatic community also went to the Nepalese Consul-General’s residence to pay their respects.
Among those who came to offer condolences was Shangpa Rinpoche, a Nepalese lama living in Singapore. He attended with two assistants and spoke about how shocked and saddened he was by the tragedy. He said that he had only recently returned from Nepal and found the news difficult to believe, describing the deceased King Birendra as a kind and respected person.
The article also mentions another Nepalese visitor who had been working in Singapore for many years and had gone to the residence to pay her respects. Like many others, she said she could hardly believe such a devastating event had happened.
Overall, the article captures the shock, disbelief and grief within the Nepalese community in Singapore following the royal massacre, with Shangpa Rinpoche among those publicly expressing his sorrow and paying tribute.
