Prime Minister Lawrence Wong expressed his shock at what was labelled as an "assassination attempt" on former U.S. president Donald Trump.
Trump was injured in a shooting at his presidential rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
In a Facebook post on Jul. 14, PM Wong said that he was "relieved" to hear reports that Trump "is safe and recovering well".
"Our thoughts are also with the family of the deceased and those injured and impacted by the senseless attack," PM Wong said.
PM Wong added:
"We should never resort to violence regardless of any differences of views."
