A resident staying at block 4 witnessed a schoolboy being beaten up by a gang of 4 older boys last week.

"I was on my way back home from the wet market when I saw some commotion in the car park. I went closer and I saw a boy lying helplessly on the floor and 4 big boys were pounding on him. They were beating and kicking him. I shouted at them and they scattered. We all have to on alert with everything around us. It is for the safety of us and the others too."

Introduction

Crime rates in your neighbourhood (Vic Street) are on the rise, and many of your neighbours are complaining to the police about issues such as vandalism, robberies, and shop-lifting.

Besides the issue of crimes in Vic Street, the police is also having a challenge to create public awareness about the measures implemented in the neighbourhood (especially at Vic Street MRT station) to detect and prevent terrorism.

During one of the MP meet-the-people session, a resident suggested to start a crime and terrorism awareness initiative. This initiative will help everyone:

• · To be alert about the current crime situation.

• · To get advice on how to prevent and stop crime.

• · To contribute and report on crimes happening in their immediate vicinity.

• · To get updates of police actions.

• · To be aware of the actions required to fight terrorism.
