The discovery of two sets of dummy anti-tank weapons, also known as MATADORs, in the Lim Chu Kang area on Thursday (Oct 16) morning has sparked a flurry of discussion on social media.

Some on Facebook and Twitter have created memes. One post which has gone viral references an incident in 2011 where a National Serviceman's domestic helper was photographed carrying his field pack.

Other memes allude to a prayer circle for the soldier who could be in hot soup. Some online have posted messages of support for the unknown soldier as well.

More than a handful have criticised the person who posted a photo of the MATADORs on social media instead, saying the decision to publicise the incident, may result in harsher punishment.

The Singapore Armed Forces has said it takes a "serious view" of this incident, and that an investigation is underway.
