It's better to be safe than sorry, and so the police are upping their game when it comes to protecting crowded establishments in Singapore, especially shopping centres. Speaking yesterday at the Singapore Police Force's first counter-terrorism seminar for the business community, Tanjong Pagar MP Melvin Yong said "the police will be engaging the management of commercial buildings, including retail malls, to develop contingency plans and conduct joint exercises to enhance their readiness to deal with any attack."
This is all the more important now, in light of the recent terror events across the globe.
