- Good to check in with your area’s police whatsapp group to verify the letter.
Granted, you should be able to see lots of police and bomb disposal unit around your area already. - Ah yes, the yearly bukit timah area bomb disposal. Great tradition.
- (OP) I kind of want to be at home to see the whole thing but I am not allowed to.
- Put your phone on record mode in your house la. Then u can watch what they do. Or get a cctv and aim it there.
- Out of curiosity, to those familiar with this, do they get contractors, or do they call 36 SCE to deal with this?
- Bruh, why this is more exciting than fireworks? Legit bruh. LOL
