Term 3 Week 4

Question 1 (a). Why is it easy for burglers to break into stalls at the two markets in the Kallang area?

ANS: There were units open on the top which the burglers broke into and as such, the burglars only need to climb the railings.

Question 1(b). What is the Geylang East Central Merchants' Association going to do about the break-ins?

ANS: They would want to improve the security by changing the stalls' layout and design.



Question 2. What do you think should be done to tighten the security of the markets? What do you think of the burglars who brazenly break into the stalls?

ANS: Personally, I feel there we should all do our part by giving more attention to our surroundings. We should always keep our guard up for any suspicious being who seems to scout around every few seconds as they could probably be burglars who are trying to gather information on how is the best way to rob the market. Installing more CCTV cameras can also prove to be an aid as it could capture burglars motive and let the police forces arrest them red-handed. Even if the CCTV camera misses the action the burglar conducted, the tape replay of the happening can also be a clue itself to the police and lead them to the criminal. I personally think that those burglars were smart in a way that they knew how to do all those handy work and rob the stalls. However, it was absolutely foolish of them to even try to rob other people. Even if they are smart when it comes to planning and stuff like that, they weren't absolutely the brightest people when it comes to decision making or they would NEVER had try to break into the stalls.
