Bangladeshis in S'pore urged to remain calm

Bangladesh High Commissioner in Singapore Mahbub-uz Zaman yesterday called on the Bangladesh community to remain calm and show restraint, and cooperate law enforcement agencies following a riot in Little India district Sunday night.
The rare riot broke out after international media reported that a Bangladeshi worker had been hit and killed by a bus in the district.
In a statement, Zaman said, "I want to categorically state that as per available information, the news reports that appeared on a section of media and news involving a Bangladeshi worker is not based on facts."
