Meet the SAF's Explosive Ordnance Disposal team – the unit responsible for getting rid of an unexploded 100kg World War II bomb at an Upper Bukit Timah construction site last month.
SINGAPORE Bomb disposal veteran Peter Chong has 18 years' experience dealing with unexploded bombs, among them the largest war-era bomb to be neutralised in Singapore. But the worry of such relics blowing up unpredictably still weighs on him every time he encounters one. Part of the risk of handling the remnants of previous wars lies in the instability inherent.
