SINGAPORE: Every year on Feb 15, sirens are heard islandwide over Singapore’s public warning system to commemorate Total Defence Day.
Past 1am, about 70 operationally ready national servicemen are in full gear at Buangkok MRT station, which has ended train services for the day. Once civilians enter the MRT station and are safely underground, blast doors will be activated to seal off the concourse level. A dry toilet kit is distributed to each person for each use, containing an absorbent, a pack of tissues and a wet wipe.
