SINGAPORE: The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said 1,698 immigration offenders were arrested in the first six months of this year, 18 per cent fewer compared to the same period last year.

The bulk of the offenders were overstayers, accounting for 70 per cent of total immigration offenders, and the rest were illegal immigrants.

ICA said the number of harbourers arrested in the first half of the year, dropped by about 36 per cent to 21 cases.

Similarly, the number of employers arrested fell by about 5 per cent to 18 cases.

ICA said the fall in the number of immigration offenders arrested is attributed to the effectiveness of its checkpoint and inland enforcement efforts, public education programme as well as the tough laws.

' lesser ' is usually employed to mean inferior......like some ang mohs think we belong to a lesser race . Fuck them.

but sometimes lesser can also be used to mean smaller in size.

So in this case i think can la. The haul of immigration offenders had decreased in size.

How ah resident expert Ah Sam? What's your view? And please stop winking at me. You're not my type

Another mistake:

"ICA said the fall in the number of immigration offenders arrested is attributed to the effectiveness of its checkpoint and inland enforcement efforts, public education programme as well as the tough laws."

Fewer immigration offenders arrested.

Generally speaking, "lesser" is used when the amount is difficult to count -

Me, England no good, so "siam", can only say how I comprehend the below quote.

Not necessary, the fall can also be attributes to a less effective policing at the checkpoints, inept enforcement efforts, poor public education programme as well as lax laws.

There's a difference between "less" and "lesser".

The opposite of more is "less", not "lesser".

Lesser refers to something of less size or importance. eg. any lesser man, a lesser mortal, a lesser evil.

cannot lah.

you know the all too popular million dollar quiz show question?

One revolver with 6 bullets can only take out one Ah neh.

Even if you have a machine gun with boxes of cartridges, you will be left with some Ah neh still alive or squatting after you have finished all the cartridge!

This is what happens when a country starts defending its atrocious pidgin English as part of its cultural identity.
