Despite of the economic downturn, I think that Singapore should not step down on CCT surveillance. The safety of its citizens is more important as compared to money. Money can be earned back but not the safety of Singaporeans. If the crime rates are increasing, the more Singapore should step up on its security. On top of that, since the economic is bad and many people are jobless, some of them may be so desperate that they resort to stealing and robbing. Thus, the crime rates are sure to go up so Singapore should not step CCT surveillance and instead, increase the number of security cameras.

To me, I am not much concerned, as I do not think that it will affect my privacy much. If CCT surveillance can improve the security standard of Singapore, I do not seem why I should be against it. As long as I do not commit any offence, I should not be afraid that it would affect my privacy.
