Something to be aware of - Singapore is hyper aware of the terrorism threat. There is a non-stop video playing in every MRT (rapid transit) station showing a non-descript person blowing up the MRT - including the explosion and sound effects, and asking people to constantly be aware of their surroundings. They have (admittedly somewhat lax) security staff watching for bags at every entrance. They have removed all garbage cans from inside the MRT area.
The country is very, very safe because of the low crime, so, as a result, Terrorism is one of the most significant risks to be watchful for.

It's not non-stop. I see it maybe 1 time in 7 or 8. Half the time they're playing a trailer for some movie. This kind of thing is not out of place in London or New York either. Actually, in London the anti-terrorism posters are way more Orwellian.
- lucaspiller 12y agoI was going to say this was pretty common in London. Even before the 2005 bombings, due to the IRA threat in the late 20th century. Bins were removed from the underground in the early 90s after the bombing at Victoria station, and from the City after the bombing in Bishopsgate. Edit: I some words.
- ghshephard 12y agoPerhaps they play it a lot more often at One-North. I'll see how often it's on this week. I was pretty sure it was non-stop.
