BANGKOK, Sept. 10 (Xinhuanet) -- Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said he had confidence that Singapore would be able to stop the SARS from spreading, and assured the public that the disease would not emerge in the Kingdom, the Bangkok Post reported Wednesday.

　　The Premier made the remarks after Singapore's announcement of a fresh SARS case on Tuesday.

　　Thaksin was quoted as saying that as of now there's no need to implement any measures, but if any emergency arises the country will take measures as soon as possible.

　　Strict screening and safety measures, especially in Singapore, were more than adequate to dispel fears of a new outbreak, he said,adding that Thai Public Health Ministry also remained vigilant of travelers returning from abroad.

　　Thaksin said the government had received no inquiries so far about SARS from countries to participate in the APEC summit next month. Enditem
