The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) will be conducting military and live-firing exercises across various locations from 18 to 25 August 2025. These exercises will take place on the islands of Pulau Sudong, Pulau Senang, and Pulau Pawai, as well as in the Pasir Laba SAFTI Live-Firing Area and several other locations across Singapore, including Seletar, Marsiling, and Lim Chu Kang.
The SAF has issued a public advisory to avoid these areas and their surrounding waters during the exercise period. The exercises will involve the use of live ammunition, flares, blanks, and thunderflashes, which may result in loud noises. The public is urged not to be alarmed by these sounds.
Sea vessels navigating the Western Johor Straits are instructed to remain within the 75-metre Navigable Sea Lane to avoid entering the live-firing boundary. Trespassing into gazetted and SAF restricted areas is illegal and punishable by law, emphasising the importance of adhering to these safety measures.
The SAF assures that all necessary safety and control measures will be in place to ensure public safety during the exercises. The public is reminded to stay clear of prohibited waters off Changi Naval Base and Tuas Naval Base.
These exercises are part of the SAF’s routine training to maintain operational readiness and effectiveness. The SAF appreciates the public’s cooperation and understanding during this period.
