RSAF Apache forced landing

I dropped on here to see if there were any further details about the RSAF Apache heli that made a reported crash landing in Singapore.

No thread yet started quite surprisingly......so anyone know any more????

Link to one of the news clips below:

Attack helicopter ditches in Singapore - Yahoo! News UK

A helicopter belonging to the Singapore military was forced to land in a residential neighbourhood after encountering engine problems. A statement put out by the Singapore Ministry of Defence said the helicopter had been on a routine maintenance flight when the problems began.
The pilots onboard decided to land the aircraft in an open field in the Woodlands neighbourhood, in the northern part of the city-state, on Thursday afternoon.
The statement says the tail section of the RSAF AH-64 Apache helicopter was damaged in the landing.
Local media quoted a passerby as saying that he thought the helicopter had landed in the field as part of some sort of military display.
This was the second emergency landing of a Singaporean military helicopter in the past seven months, local media report. No one was injured in the incident.
