Due to the economic downturn, many people are losing their jobs. In desperation, some people resort to gambling and end up with huge debts to settle with loan-sharks. In order to quickly pay off the debts before the loan-sharks do something to harm the debtor, they steal and rob from other people. Such as in shopping centers, robbery is usually taken place in the dark corridors. The government tend to think that since it is quiet and dark place, people would probably avoid there. Therefore, they feel that there is no need for CCT surveillance to be set-up there. As it is a concern of the peoples' safety, Singapore ought to step up on CCT surveillance before something terrible happens.
