... so says my friend's friend's dad, who was at Holland Village when he saw the place swarming with police cars. More details to follow as I interrogate him and trawl the local news websites.
Also, my colleague's sister, who works with the police, has confirmed that a bomb has been found. The other colleague who sent us this warning days ago, should be completely vindicated as it has proven to be more than a 'red herring'. (Thank you, Alison.)
And yet we have shopkeepers in Holland Village complaining about how the loss of car park lots has caused their takings to decline. Oh, what a small price to pay in return for saving their shops ... and their lives.
Here's some backdated news on how security has been stepped up, as of this week.
The American Embassy in Singapore is closed today for Thanksgiving. I guess today would have been a good day to strike terror in the hearts of many, wouldn't it? :-(

shit man! well, i suppose i'd rather hear about a bomb being found and diffused than a bomb going off in holland v., but still....
no news of this on the major news sites. i wonder if the police and govt are going to keep a lid on this for a while before they release the story?
quite glad to hear there is no parking along the road in holland v. - better safe than sorry.
OK. I've been getting conflicting reports: One reported eyewitness account, one very brief confirmation from someone working at a police station, and one outright denial from an SPH journalist (who calls it a hoax). We shall soon find out.
Can't find the news on any websites either. Contributions welcome!
