  soon dustbins will disappear from bus stops, bus interchanges, shopping centres, cinemas, petrol kiosks etc...
  then more ppl litter because cannot find proper place to throw
  -> more fines -> more revenue for government?
  
  heard from a friend that in parts of uk, when you go watch a movie, you cannot leave the cinema until the movie ends. they scared you plant bomb inside.
  akang datang to a cinema near you??

  there's nothing they can do about suicide bombers, short of searching everyone going to cinemas, subway, shopping centres. then ppl will kpkb abt inconvenience, invasion of privacy etc.

  suicide bombers are easily spotted.... becos they will be having an oversize coat (something like that of a flasher) if u really happen to see one.... dun call 999 run lor.... suicide bombers are not really very destructive in nature..... at most kill a few.... parcel bomb is bigger in version... not so easy to bespotted ..... so the next time u happen to see anything that someone left on the bus or train.... it is best that you pray to god and slowly remove the cover to see wat's inside.... remember slowly..... if really a bomb gd luck.............. I dun think you will see any car bomb in singapore becos it is so expensive to own one car.... so everyone is safe from the most destructive type of bombing.....

  u can pretend to wait at one corner, put down ur bag, wait for a friend and take out an empty bottle.
  walk out, try to find a bin to throw ur bottle away but with the bag still left at the corner.
  leave the station and leave the bag which has explosives in it... ''...boom...''

  i dont think there are any real terrorist in Singapore. Just a Boogeyman to scare the peasants into behaving.

  Can record, if I'm not wrong. Remember a metro train station in Korea was destroyed by fire, but the footage from the CCTVs were still available.

  Should be the same. CCTVs in MRT stations now have recording function.
