A heart-shaped World War II hand grenade, found on a tree near a downtown subway station in Singapore, was safely disposed off by the army.
The Singapore Army said in a Facebook post on Friday that a few construction workers noticed a heart-shaped stump on a tree when they were resting near the Outram subway station. But when the workers had a closer look at the stump they realised it was a heart-shaped war relic nestled in the crevice between two branches of the tree.
later, the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team of the Singapore Armed Forces investigated and found the object to be a World War II hand grenade. In the early 1940s, during WWII, Singapore witnessed heavy bombardment when the Japanese forces invaded the British colony.
