This unexploded 100 kg bomb unearthed on 20 Sep 2023 in Bukit Timah is one of countless aerial bombs indiscriminately dropped by the Japanese bombers on Singapore before invading in Feb 1942....For those who prefer to forget or ignore...

" In 2019, a 50kg aerial bomb was found in River Valley, also during excavation works at a construction site. It was similarly assessed to be unsafe to move and had to be disposed of on-site. "
Very quachang lah. Wont explode one lah and even if it explode, it wont be so destructible that you need to evacuate 200 m radius lah. It will only be a tiny pooh if it really occur.

These recovered aerial bombs were once carry by Mitsubishi G3M Nell bombers.
On 7 Dec 1941, the same day when Pearl Harbor was attacked, over 30 of those heavily loaded G3M took off from Vietnam on 1st mission to bomb SG...in the start Jap next move down the Malaya peninsular. Both Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse were later sank by air attacks during that same month.

So better GENTLY move it an open nearby field (usually construction site), dig a deep deep hole and cover it with many many sandbags.
Of course, the most siong part is filling the bags and pilling up...the most exhilarating part is setting up the charges and setting it off...
