A Visit to ISD Heritage Centre

ISD = Internal Security Department

A visit there was quite an eye opener, leaving one feels that espionage, terrorism, foreign subversion can be so real (even here).

Some standard questions are
- Can Singapore be sabotaged by other countries?
- Are racial and religious conflicts still possible in Singapore?
- Has Singapore ever been a target or haven for terrorists?
- Does anyone spy on Singapore?

There are evidences to attest that the answers for the above questions are all affirmative.
Scary leh.

While most will agree that the answers are affirmative, but how are we “dealing” with it? Are we alert enough of the strange happenings around us?

The department actually conducted a simple experiment some time ago (to check how alert we may be). They asked one of their own guys to dress up as a suicide bomber. That is, he had to wear a bomb around his body, the way a suicide bomber does. Since that kind of bomb is quite a large one, there was such an unnatural bulge protruding in front of the guy, underneath the t-shirt he was wearing. He was walking around one of the entrances of our Raffles MRT station. There were streams of people. That place was kind of crowded at that time. Yet, no one gave him a second glance. Mm…

What would we do, if we were among the crowd at that moment and saw such a guy walking around? The advice is to alert the police lor, if we sighted anything unusual.

Remember the two occasions where bombs went off at Bali? Mm..

The trip was educational. I saw a lie-detector, a cipher, microdot, ...

~ Running Freely ~

We certainly hope to be living in a country where the youngs and olds alike, may run freely without fear.
