Probably it was planned ahead of time and that helicopter would have a regular schedule of flying that route. And SG is so aware of it.
Now that the number of Covid is rising exponentially, what better way to use this as a distraction.
They knew it was a police helicopter. They knew the route. They knew it would cross SG airspace in less than 5 minutes. And yet they scrambled F16s? By then the helicopter would have reached JB la.
And normally these sorts of incidence would have been kept under wraps if there is no impact on media or politics and would be resolved peacefully by MFA. But to make a hoohaa and get the media to sensationalise it points directly to an effort at distraction from Covid numbers.
