Moreover, a bomb simulation drill onboard a bus was heldon Sept 2. The bus driver followed the instructions in the manual and followed the "five steps on examining suspicious items". Upon finding the item he gave an alarm and evacuated passengers in an orderly manner.

The police also urged citizens to assist in the security of the Asian Games by communicating fully with the authorities in case of suspicious activities.
