 | | On 7 Feb 1974, arrangements were made to transfer the terrorists by boat from 'Laju' to the Marine Police Headquarters and thence by minibus to the airport. |
 | | Before leaving the 'Laju' at 2230 hours, the terrorists covered themselves with hoods and tied the three hostages with their hands behind their backs. |
 | | The 'Laju' incident is a measure of the confidence and daring of members of the Singapore Commandos (formed just five years earlier) to provide the necessary assurance for Singapore officials to act as guarantors in a potentially explosive situation. |
