A massive wartime bomb from World War Two shocked workers at a Kuantan housing site yesterday. The 250-kilogram aerial weapon lay buried for decades before construction crews stumbled across it during routine building work. Police cars raced to the Bukit Goh location after the contractor called for help around 2:50 in the afternoon. Officers quickly set up a safety zone around the dangerous discovery and called bomb experts to the scene. The old weapon had been hiding underground since the 1940s conflict.
Bomb disposal specialists from both local and state police units examined the deadly device carefully. They chose a controlled demolition technique called the low order method to destroy the weapon safely. The experts worried about nearby homes sitting just 200 meters away from the bomb site. Special procedures protected families living close to the danger zone during the disposal operation. The team successfully destroyed the weapon at 10 in the morning without anyone getting hurt.
Police officials warned residents about touching strange objects they might find around their neighborhoods. Superintendent Mohd Adli Mat Daud told people to call the nearest police station immediately if they discover suspicious items. Construction workers often uncover old weapons and ammunition left behind from the war years. The discovery reminds everyone that dangerous relics from past conflicts still lurk beneath Malaysian soil. Authorities handle these situations regularly across the country.
