Chief of Army Major-General Melvyn Ong was on site to observe the serviceability checks and maintenance of the vehicles and equipment, the press release said.
The camp the vehicles will be taken to was not specified, but TOC understands that all Terrex Infantry Carrier Vehicles are based at Kranji Camp II, where the Motorised Infantry Training Institute is also located.
The vehicles and equipment had earlier departed from Hong Kong’s port at 4.15am on Friday (27 January) and arrived in Singapore on Monday at 2.40pm.
They were seized by the Hong Kong Customs and Excise department in November last year while passing through the port from Taiwan to Singapore.

第二阶段解封 局势受控仰或为选举铺路?

本周一(15日),政府跨部门防疫工作小组宣布,第二阶段解封将在本月19日开始,允许不超过五人的聚会,每户家庭也获允许接受不超过五人拜访。 国家发展部长黄循财表示,当局乃根据卫生情况、防疫能力和经济社会安全等,决定是否进入第二阶段。 针对选举时机,他坦言大选可能在第二或第三阶段召开,目前没人知道确切时机。但若举行选举,选举局一定会解释相关防疫措施和竞选准则。 不过,近期种种迹象,都令坊间感受到“选举近了”的氛围,网民担忧在抗疫期间举行选举,恐拿人民性命安全当赌注。 这是因为有别于台湾和新西兰,都是在病例减少后的数周才解封。反观我国目前每日仍有超过百余病例的记录(惟当局坚称社区病例已减少)。 我国实则每日仍有百余新增病例 网民Jimmy认为:“泰国、新西兰和台湾,实则连续数周近乎零病例,才允许群聚、堂食、开放海滩和体育活动等。但我国目前每日仍有百余新增病例不等” 有者也指出,部长们大可宣扬局势已受控等说辞,然而在人口较密集的新加坡,又是否该谨慎一些?也有者认为,第二阶段的群聚,似乎有意为来届选举活动铺路。
