Engineering student admits detonating homemade bombs at East Coast Park

[Voldermort]

SINGAPORE: A teenager who was interested in explosives started looking up how to make bombs online during the COVID-19 "circuit breaker".


He made two improvised pipe bombs and lit them up at East Coast Park in 2020, detonating one. No one was hurt in the incident.

The youth, now 19, pleaded guilty on Thursday (May 19) to four charges of making explosives without a licence, committing a rash act with a dangerous substance likely to cause hurt or injury to others, and abetting such an act


Another three charges will be considered for sentencing, which is set for June.


The youth cannot be named as he was under 18 at the time of the offences and therefore protected by the Children and Young Persons Act.


He is currently an aerospace engineering student in a polytechnic, and has received treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and conduct disorder.


The youth previously told the court that he committed the offences because he liked to do "hands-on stuff", but realised "there's a right way and a wrong way to do it ... that's why I like engineering".

District Judge Kessler Soh ordered a report to assess the youth's suitability for probation, but did not rule out the option of more severe reformative training.


"You may like to tinker with things, experiment, but there's a right way to do it, as you said," the judge told the youth, stressing that he and his friends could have been injured.

Who are his parents?

He should try putting his DIY bombs into the cheebyes of Geylang prosititues. Bang the cheebye with kukujiao and then bang again with bomb. I wonder what the aftermath will be like.

silly kid, just burn the black powder can already, why need to go kahboom?

When I was a teenager back in the good ole days, I collected the powder from many firecrackers and fireworks in a large milo tin. Then my house flooded and it floated away.

SAF should recruit him for their Bomb Disposal Unit team.

Why is this statement necessary? is it every innocent "offence" committed need to show some disorder of the person to justified the offence.
