Norminate some neutral party cilivians,give them some smoke screen bomb(not a bomb actually,just shoots out smoke) and let them decides which MRT station to strike later,without informing and GARMENT sector.

Then when they really strike at certain MRT station or line,you will be able to tell how the publics can react and for sure many GARMENT sector will be "KALLANG KABOH".

Hence reward those department that react well to the situation,and penalise those that do not.....and again for sure you can spot alots of "Sotong Head".

Come on !! If the terrorists can make /smuggle bombs here,do you think they will detonate it on a Sunday morning 6.20am off peak hour? You think they are as stupid as the one who activate this excerise?

OFF TOPICS: Quite sometime back when i used to see these slogan in the MRT by the Navy,showing a missile gunboat,it goes something like this" NOWADAYS WAR ARE FIGHT WITHOUT EVEN SEEING THE ENEMY" and the greatest joke is our own battleship is being RAMMED by a indonesia cargo liner.

Firstly, it is a non-realistic reflection on an actual terrorist attack.

All the so-called "public" in the exercise are volunteers and they already have been brief what to do. Hence, everything seems so calm and steady. Come on, if a bomb really goes off in the MRT or bus, you think everyone will behave in such an orderly mannerism??? I bet everyone of us will be running our ass off finding the quickest exit while pushing and shoving along the way!

Secondly, we guys all know that the SAF, SCDF and POLICE are all famous for "wayang-ing".

We can't deny it. Whenever there's a minister or overseas guests attending such a major exercise, we all will be reminded to put on a "good-show" for them. Yesterday's exercise was attended by the London Traffic Police Chief and of course we had to put on the best WAYANG show for him.

Personally, I believe there are no ways to prevent any terrorist attacks.

The best way for the public to prepare when such an attack happens is through mass public education - just like when SARS happens. Articles and TV programs on terrorism and types of possible attacks will definitely help the public understand better.

People read, watch and talk about it and through such mass communications, everyone will at least know the very basic of what-to-dos, even the elderly.

To conduct such an exercise is basically our local govt way to show off to the overseas guests that Singapore is steady and ready.... but in fact, these overseas guests never realized that it was all but just a OSCAR-WINNING WAYANG SHOW.

The above are just my 1 cents worth of personal thoughts.

On a SUNDAY MORN and a VERY COOL AND HEAVY RAINY DAY. I do not know who is the CROWN that gave the GREEN LIGHT.

Just imagine who were on board the MRT trains and buses during these times. "Hantu pun takda" the famous Malay saying. They think the TERRORISTS are DUMB to strike at a time when there are few ppls. It's a WASTE of all the HUMAN RESOURCES.

Fellows Samsters care to comment.
