This is only a couple of years after Sarah Everards murder by an officer - how officers acted in towards women in the vigil after her death wasn't exactly great either.

>Singapore is a brutal police state

Yes? That's exactly what I said. But because Singapore is not a progressive state, filled with progressives, their police force is appreciated and work in harmony with the community. Because you know what?

People there follow the law, and appreciate that the law is enforced, and don't blame the police for the bad situations that arises from mass criminality.
