Live: Bukit Timah residents vacate homes for detonation of World War II bomb

SINGAPORE: Thousands of residents in parts of Upper Bukit Timah vacated their homes on Tuesday (Sep 26) before a team from the Singapore Armed Forces conducts a controlled detonation of a World War II bomb at a construction site.

The 100kg aerial bomb was unearthed last week at the work site of the upcoming Myst condominium near Cashew MRT station.

More than 4,000 people living and working near the area had been told to vacate. Some of them, together with their pets, made their way to Senja-Cashew community club on Tuesday morning where residents may stay for the day while the operation is carried out.
