Bomb hoax forces evacuation at Xinmin Secondary School

Students and staff at Xinmin Secondary School in Singapore were evacuated on Thursday morning due to a bomb hoax. The school notified parents around 8:30am of an alleged bomb threat. Police conducted a thorough search of the premises but found no suspicious items. All individuals were accounted for and safe, returning to classes shortly after.

This is the fourth bomb hoax at a Singaporean school in the past four years. Despite the threat being deemed false, authorities emphasized the importance of taking such security concerns seriously.
