Primus and Bionix transported on PIE
-
AS per above,saw two convoys counted like 4 Primus and 4-6 Bionix being transported on the back of flat-bed trailers. Also being transported were what seem like pallets of arty shells.With police escort as well...Time was around 2100hrs.
Any idea of whats going on? -

My guess is that the respective battalions are doing rehersals for the National Day mobile column display. The usual practice to prevent anything from screwing up during the actual event itself. No worries! We are not mobbing for war anytime soon

Forgot to mention,i live near Toa Payoh.The convoy was heading towards Changi Airport direction.Any armour or arty camps in the east?
And even if they are used for Padang,I doubt they will travel in the above specified direction.Should have used CTE right? -
