A BOMB, believed to be a relic from the Japanese occupation, was found at the Sungai Kedondong recreation area near Jalan Batang Kali-Genting Highlands in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.

Hulu Selangor district police chief Suffian Abdullah said the old bomb weighing about 50kg was found by a local man and his friend when fishing at a waterfall near the area around 2pm. 

He said the man made a police report at 4.43pm yesterday, and upon investigation, police believe it is an inactive bomb buried in the riverbank. 

“The bomb measuring 106.68cm in diameter and 106.68cm in length, was probably dropped from an airplane during the Japanese occupation. 

“A team from the Bukit Aman Bomb Unit and the Selangor contingent police headquarters detonated the bomb at 2.50pm,” he said in a statement. – Bernama, September 10, 2022.
