This is utter bs. HK should have more police because there is no army back up plus there are always protest marches by HK people which can sometimes be violent. Singapore where got protest marches like HK. Bangkok often has demonstrations but have back-up by army, M'sia have higher crime rate, Cambodia has regular workers strike and Singapore rarely have anything. The India riot is only once in so many years. Don't tell me SPF don't have enough existing resources to handle that India riot ? Hiring more for a country that rarely have such incident is a pure waste of resources. Singapore is a relatively very low crime environment, need more SPF for what ? cannot do a good job then ask for more resources, in private enterprise the VP or Director sure kena Fxxk if ask for resources like this. Private sector cut cost still have to increase sales/profit. Only Singapore gov't officials have no shame and dare do this.
