UXO disposal along Upper Bukit Timah Road

An Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) was recently discovered at a construction site along Upper Bukit Timah Road. The SAF Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team from 36th Battalion, Singapore Combat Engineers (36 SCE) was activated and identified the UXO to be a 100kg World War II aerial bomb. The UXO was assessed to be unsafe to be moved to another location, and was successfully disposed on-site earlier this afternoon.
Involving more than 40 SAF personnel, the disposal was done in a controlled manner. Protective works involving the use of sandbags and concrete blocks were also put in place to minimise the impact from the blast.
Our Army salutes the SAF EOD team for their 24/7 operational readiness to keep Singaporeans safe!

It's not everyday that the SAF EODs get to be trending on the internet

[@OW3NN3O18]

Was the bomb still active.

[@bq1000bq]

"active" as in dangerous? YES!

[@Lu5ck]

Is old, assuming the explosive within already contaminated but if fuse cannot be removed, they have to detonate it.

[@karlplazo9245]

Oppenheimer SG version

[@bq1000bq]

More like "Bukit Panjang Down"

[@sdqsdq6274]

[@bq1000bq]

They can file a police report regardinfg "public nuisance" - the culprits being they themselves!

[@CT-lt4sg]

[@puremix925]

Upz lah 36SCE

[@songting6932]

Well co-ordinated ops involving so many parties, should cost a bomb... ask the one who left the bomb there to foot the bill lah 😂

[@felitsu3772]

Good bomb disposal.

[@silentkaine9352]

They evacuated over 4000 people cause of that 💀

[@Dremist]

Then when there's casualty people are gonna complain and sue the government, so which would you rather?

[@LightBluly]

Japan & China were at war. The Japanese were upset with the overseas Chinese sending money back by selling flowers.
