  • The MacDonald House bombing was a terrorist attack on the MacDonald House building in Orchard Road, Singapore, on 10 March 1965, just a few months before Singapore's expulsion from Malaysia. The nitroglycerin bomb was planted by Indonesian saboteurs during the period of heightened Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation, also known as the Konfrontasi. The explosion killed three people and injured at least 33 others. At the time, the building was used by HSBC. During this period, Indonesia openly opposed the formation of Malaysia, perceiving in its view that it was merely a neo-colonial state, especially for the British. Indonesian saboteurs mounted a campaign of terror in Singapore, then a major state and city within Malaysia. There were a total of 37 bombings from 1963 to 1966. They were trained to attack military installations and public utilities. However, when the saboteurs failed in their attempts to attack these installations that were heavily guarded, they set off bombs indiscriminately to create panic and disrupt life in Singapore as well as in Malaysia. By 1964, bomb explosions became frequent. To help the police and army defend Singapore from these attacks, a volunteer force was set up. More than 10,000 people signed up as volunteers. Community Centers served as bases for the volunteers to patrol their neighbourhoods. In schools, students underwent bomb drills. The government also warned Singaporeans not to handle any suspicious-looking parcels in the buildings or along streets. Despite the efforts of the British, small groups of saboteurs managed to infiltrate the island and plant bombs. By March 1965, a total of 29 bombs had been set off in Singapore. (en)
  • Pengeboman MacDonald House terjadi pada tanggal 10 Maret 1965 di gedung Hongkong and Shanghai Bank (dikenal dengan nama MacDonald House) yang terletak di Orchard Road, Singapura. Bom waktu tersebut dipasang oleh dua orang Indonesia yang merupakan anggota Korps Komando Operasi, Harun Said dan Usman Hj Mohd Ali pada saat berlangsungnya konfrontasi. Tiga orang meninggal dunia dan sedikitnya 33 orang dicederai. Sejak tahun 1963, pemerintah Indonesia telah menentang penyatuan Malaysia. Pemerintah Singapura mengatakan bahwa Indonesia kemudian mengirimkan orang-orang yang bertujuan menyabotase keadaan di Singapura dan Malaysia dengan mengeksploitasikan perbedaan ras di kedua negara serta merusak instalasi-instalasi penting. Menurutnya, orang-orang kiriman tersebut kemudian meledakkan bom di tempat-tempat umum untuk menciptakan ketegangan dan panik. Pengeboman di MacDonald House merupakan pengeboman yang paling serius dari seluruh pengeboman-pengeboman yang terjadi di Singapura. Dua korban yang tewas berasal dari suku Tionghoa sedangkan satunya lagi adalah orang Melayu. Setelah kejadian tersebut, petugas-petugas dari Departemen Keamanan Dalam Negeri serta Kepolisian Singapura menangkap Harun dan Usman. Keduanya dihukum gantung pada tahun 1968. (in)

Nitroglycerinbomben placerades av indonesiska sabötorer under (även känd som Konfrontasi). I explosionen dog tre personer och minst 33 personer skadades. Under , då Indonesien var öppet emot formationen av Malaysia, ledde indonesiska sabotörer en kampanj av terror i Singapore. Totalt 37 bombdåd skedde mellan 1963 och 1966. De var tränade att attackera militära mål och kommunala bolag, men när terroristerna misslyckades i sina försök att attackera dessa tungt bevakade mål, detonerade de bomber för att skapa panik och osäkerhet bland folket på ön. År 1964 hade dessa bombdåd blivit frekventa. (sv)
