seems like the first time in don't know how many years. to fire a round in the army is already headache enough, its worst to fire in spf especially on duty in the public. the policeman who fired should have more than enough explaination for it. furthermore its in the mrt station where there are countless of security cams.did the attacker die? or still unknown? luckily sgh is just nearby.

wow....amazing how singapore's security is.
i thought singapore policemen have tasers?

anyway i dont see how anyone can criticise local security just because of this incident. we dont have people who run in schools and shoot people every few monthes. no terrorist who throw grenades into cars. no militants who launch rockets into our cities.
