Melvin Yong on Private Security Industry (Amendment) Bill
It is time for security officers to put on body cameras, like regular police officers, to deter abuse and serve as evidence for police reports to be made against the offenders. MP Melvin Yong made this call in Parliament on Tuesday (Oct 5), as a way to better protect security officers. He also raised concerns with the acute manpower shortage faced by the private security industry. He wanted to know how the Government plans to attract more people to join the industry.
