Bomb plot
On 22 December 2001, the Singapore embassies attack plot was discovered, and had included plans to bomb Yishun MRT Station at several points, including the sewers near the station. This was brought up in a debate during a session of the parliament, by then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, during which new security measures were proposed, especially on the MRT system itself.[1]
