Evergreen Secondary School evacuated after false bomb threat

After receiving a bomb threat in the early morning hours of Thursday (July 21), Evergreen Secondary School in Woodlands was forced to evacuate all of its students as well as its personnel.

According to Education Minister Chan Chun Sing, the rumored threat turned out to be a false alarm.

The police responded swiftly and conducted a thorough sweep of the school compound. The police have completed their security checks and determined that it was a false threat. The school staff and students stayed calm and carried out their evacuation protocol as planned,” said Mr. Chan in a message he made on Facebook.

Through the Parents Gateway app, the parents received the message that they should keep their children home from school for safety reasons.

According to the minister, “All students who were already in school this morning were fully accounted for, and they were asked to return home out of precaution.”
