42 awarded Ministry of Home Affairs scholarships, largest cohort in more than a decade

Second Home Affairs Minister Edwin Tong said Singapore needs strong leaders in law enforcement who can make tough decisions in the country's best interests. He said they must stand firm against drug liberalisation, hate speech and public protests — woes that are threatening public safety and security in other countries. Mr Tong was speaking to 42 police and Home Team scholars, the biggest cohort in more than a decade. Noah Kong reports.
