[nuttyprofessor]

A stretch of Penang Lane, just a stone’s throw from the Istana, was temporarily closed on Friday afternoon (3 November) after a suspicious grenade-shaped item was reported in the vicinity.

Police said that the item was actually a toy resembling a hand grenade. Yahoo News Singapore understands that the item in question was found on a patch of grass along Penang Road.

Authorities were alerted to the item by a member of the public at about 2pm. Police sent out an alert via social media at around 4pm, advising members of the public to avoid the area and not to speculate on the matter.

i wonder how are we going to manage if many such small items were found and each took hours to clear?

 

dont we have some remote machine that can dismantle it quickly? the process need to be reviewed.

I being careful is good but overly create unnecessary issues. it is about time they review and not rely on history to work.

only need one playful teen to pick it up and say "chey only a toy!"

this problem is real. imagine th is toy is found in busy CBD or in one of the busy commercial shopping centers or office tower lobby. the 4-5 hours will cost financial strain to many.

 

if the robot can be implemented with bomb blanket or transfer to a safer location for dismantling / verification at a faster rate, that would be good.
