SINGAPORE — Residents in parts of Bukit Panjang and Upper Bukit Timah will be required to leave their homes on Tuesday when a specialist team conducts a controlled detonation of a 100kg World War II aerial bomb.

It added that the war relic will be disposed at the site itself because the SAF EOD team deems it unsafe to be moved.The statement said the police will put up a 200m cordon around the war relic, and roads in the area will be closed from 11am. The Bukit Panjang Flyover between Woodlands Road and Petir Road, and Upper Bukit Timah Road between Petir Road and Cashew Road will be closed to traffic from 11am to 7pm on Tuesday while the bomb disposal takes place, it added.

In April 2021, a projectile believed to be a war relic was discovered by a construction worker outside a temple construction site in Geylang. More than 100 people from neighbouring shophouses were quickly evacuated after the discovery.The unit where the projectile was found was under construction for almost two years, and the previous occupant was an elderly woman living on her own.
