Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa left the Maldives for Singapore on Thursday, local media reported.
Maldives officials say Rajapaksa is taking a Saudi Airlines plane to Singapore and then to Saudi Arabia, an AP reporter wrote on
Twitter.
The president, his wife Ioma Rajapaksa and two security officials were expected to take a Singapore Airlines flight last night, but didn't because of security concerns, Daily Mirror reported.
