Photos of two anti-tank dummy weapons being left on by the roadside were posted online.
The source of the photos is from a thread, “Who left his MATADOR by the roadside?” in popular online chat forum, the Hardwarezone forum. The photos were posted at 12.47pm by “VoteWisely” on Thursday and another commenter within the thread, “Dividend Moderator” commented that the exercise which the fake weapons were used in was about 4-5 hours ago ( around 8 am to 9 am).
According to online sources, the dummy weapons were found by a civilian and the finding was reported to the police.
MATADOR (Man-portable Anti-Tank, Anti-DOoR) is a 90-millimetre (3.5 in) man-portable, disposable anti-armor weapon system developed in collaboration between Singapore and Israel.
A post on The Singapore Army’s Facebook page this afternoon at 3.50 pm said,

“Two Light Anti-Tank dummy weapons were discovered by a member of public on 16 Oct 14 near the junction of Sungei Tengah/Old Chua Chu Kang Road, and have been handed over to the Police and the SAF.
These dummy weapons are meant only for training, and are inert. The unit responsible has recovered the items.”

Dummy weapons are weapons that cannot fire and are used to instill realism in training.
Investigations by SAF are currently underway.

民众没去广州却收到12封电邮通知! 酷航摆乌龙致歉

由于从新加坡赴中国的航班,因为防疫需要一些手续有变,为此新加坡酷航也发电邮通知乘客。不料即使非乘客、近期也没有任何出国行程的民众,也不明不白收到信息,令人丈八金刚摸不着头脑。 原本上述来自酷航的通知,是电邮给即将在来临周日(8月30日),出发前往广州的航班乘客,解释中国当局在防疫上的一些变动,包括登记五天前需出示核酸检测阴性证明等。 不过,即便没有任何出国行程的网民Enzo Enyo Ang,也接连收到多达12封来自酷航的电邮,令他莫名其妙,“我知道大家都很担心冠病疫情,但酷航你也不用一连发12道电邮给我吧?再者我也没打算出门,更何况是广州。” 新加坡知名网红新加坡李健敏,不忘调侃:“看来有些人需要好好跟老婆大人解释,为何他们来临周日要去一趟广州?” 据了解,酷航已在脸书发文致歉,表示上述通知原本是发给本月30日TR100航班的乘客,却误传给其他根本没有出行的用户。酷航仍在调查事件,初步所知并未发生数据或个资遭骇或泄露的问题。
