During this period of economic downturn, many people have lost their jobs and still may have a family to support. Therefore they may do anything just to get money for daily necessities and robberies and break-ins could be the fastest way. Therefore, I think that Singapore should step up on CCT surveillance only in the more deserted areas of Singapore where robberies and break-ins are most probable to occur. For a robber would not want rob someone in the middle of a bustling area and attract attention while doing so and then get caught, he would do it somewhere quiet and peaceful where there are less people around. Also, I do not think that a person's privacy would be invaded into by these CCT surveillance cameras unless they were doing something disgusting or against the law.
