Committee of Supply 2021 debate, Day 2: Raj Joshua Thomas on transforming security industry

NMP Raj Joshua Thomas said he was heartened that the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and the police department that regulates the security industry have taken a serious and consultative approach in converting the grading exercise for security agencies into a new competency assessment. Speaking in Parliament on Monday (Mar 1), he wanted to know how MHA intends to use the new evaluation to help the private security industry transform and adopt technology. He also asked MHA for its plans to better protect security officers from verbal and physical abuse.
