SINGAPORE: Over 130 passengers and crew from a SilkAir flight have been evacuated following a bomb threat.
M-I 541 was due to depart from the Philippines' Cebu airport at 1.30pm on Tuesday for Singapore.
But airport authorities received news of the suspected bomb minutes before take-off.
A hotline caller to Channel NewsAsia described seeing police surrounding the plane.
In a statement to Channel NewsAsia, SilkAir said all passengers and crew left the plane "in a calm and orderly manner", and are now in a holding area.
All baggage and cargo have also been offloaded and are in the process of another round of security checks.
The plane has been moved to an isolation bay at the airport for police inspections.
The matter is currently being investigated.
Looks like security is very tense now.
