Interview by CNA - 26 September 2023
Our co-founder and war historian, Dr John Kwok, was invited by the local news Channel News Asia for an interview on the disposal of a 100kg World War II bomb in Upper Bukit Timah.
The bomb discovered is a midrange bomb that could have been dropped between December 1941 and when the Japanese forces surrendered on 15 February 1942.
‘Unexploded Ordnance’, also known as ‘UXO’, could likely occur on sites affected by wartime battles and damages by referring to the historical maps. It is unlikely places that did not experience the war directly will have a high likelihood of discovering UXOs.
