Quoting from Xin Kai: "I think that singapore should not step up on CCT surveillance. In the economic downturn we should not waste a lot of money installing it. Installing one might cost around $600 to install a high quality one and imagine installing it everywhere how much will it cost? Moreover, there are still cost in the maintenance and what if people vandalize it? "
I totally disagree with Xin Kai when he talks about costly installations and vandalism on the CCT surveillance cameras. Firstly, Singapore is a rich and properous country, they have budgets assigned to different areas like security, food, education and medicine strategically. Therefore, they would surely have the budget assigned for security issues like installing CCT surveillance cameras around Singapore and there would still be enough money for supporting other issues affecting Singapore using their own assigned budgets. Secondly, vandalism on CCT surveillance cameras would also be very very rare as CCT surveillance would have been strategically placed so that is may not be as easy for a criminal to spot it and it would have been placed in high areas where civilians would not be able to reach and vandalism should never be a reason for not installing CCT surveillance cameras around Singapore! Thank you!
