SINGAPORE - Combat engineers and the Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) team from the SAF have uncovered a 100kg armed war relic that is more than 60 years old at a construction site in Seletar yesterday.

 

SAF said on The Singapore Army Facebook page that they were activated yesterday to assess the war relic - an aerial bomb - which had been buried at the construction site.

 

In an update this morning, the SAF said that they are preparing for their EOD Team to carry out a safe and controlled detonation on site.

 

 

 

Serious Qn: Do they detonate these on the spot or bring back?

[macrosszero]

Settle on the spot. Similar to how they deal with blinds when doing range live fire.

There was some discussion on this in the media last year.

 

If the relic is deemed as armed, then it will be detonated on site. If it is not armed, then the EOD team will bring it back to one of the ranges at Lim Chu Kang for disposal.

[Skunk]

Looks like the old Seletar Market...wah seh I lived there half of my childhood...if jit ba boom...

[Altivo]

And on a sidenote, if the bomb is found in private property, you would have to engage your own bomb disposal team!

 

Cost involved.

 

$600 to engage Cisco mata to guard the bomb on site.

$15k to engage the private bomb disposal team which includes Security escorts and a barge to Pulau Senang.

 

SAF experts step in after landlord could not get private contractor

By Kimberly Spykerman

 

A 160KG bomb found outside a furniture warehouse in Sungei Kadut has finally been removed, 24 hours after its discovery sparked a scramble to find a private bomb disposal company.

 

Bomb experts from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) took away the war relic yesterday.

 

But before they turned up at the site, Mr Raymond Yap, assistant manager of LHT Holdings, which owns the warehouse, was so frantic that he called the office of Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean, who is also Home Affairs Minister, saying he was at his wits' end.

 

Mr Yap, 64, had had no luck with the two private bomb disposal companies recommended by police officers on Monday.

 

The SAF's Chemical Biological Radiological and Explosives Defence Group (CBRE) arrived at around 1pm.

 

In a statement last night, the police gave the assurance that public safety had not been compromised.

 

It said that when officers arrived, they set up a safety cordon around the site.

 

In line with 'prevailing response protocols', the police then alerted CBRE. It 'conveyed information including visuals of the relic in question to the CBRE which assessed that the object could be safely disposed of by licensed specialist contractors'.

 

A police spokesman said: 'The CBRE advised that as the relic was found on private property, the landlord should engage the services of such specialist contractors to do so. Police accordingly conveyed this to the landlord.

 

'However, when the landlord encountered some difficulties procuring the services of designated licensed specialist contractors to remove the relic, police informed CBRE and a CBRE team was sent to the scene and removed the relic safely.'

 

About 40 workers evacuated from the warehouse stood outside the gates and watched anxiously as the men from the unit, decked in dark green coveralls, examined the bomb.

 

Three hours later, they emerged from the site with the bomb in the back of a covered vehicle that had a sign hanging off the back that read 'Caution: Unexploded Bomb'.

 

Malaysian worker Wong Chee Keong said in Mandarin: 'I feel a lot safer now. I was very worried that it would explode.'

 

Mr Yap added: 'I'm relieved that everything has been solved. At least there's been a thorough study of the situation, and everyone's safety has been taken care of.'

 

Only a few hours earlier, he had been worried after being unable to find anyone to help dispose of the 60cm-long relic.

 

Workers using an excavator had dug it up on Sunday from a corner of the site, where a furniture recycling plant is being built, and left it in a pile of soil.

 

It was only on Monday that they realised it was an old bomb, after trying to sell it to the scrap metal yard next door.

 

The yard's owner, Mr Ong Kim Hock, 54, recognised it as a possible bomb due to its bronze tip and bullet shape. He then had the workers put it back where they had found it, and called the police.

 

Mr Yap said on Monday that the police had informed him that they would not be able to help get rid of the war relic since it was found on private property.

 

He told them the land was leased from statutory board JTC Corporation, and therefore was not private property. The police then provided him with the contact numbers of two private bomb disposal companies.

 

Mr Yap paid more than $600 for two officers from security management firm Certis Cisco to stand watch over the war relic that night.

 

He said he called DPM Teo's office, telling the staff member he was put through to that it was a 'very urgent' matter and that he needed help.

 

Shortly after, he said, he received a call from the SAF's bomb disposal unit. It is understood that the bomb will be detonated today.

Haha, if it's 'safe' I wonder if it's ok to just pick it up and dump it on the public road. Then become police problem already.
