Some local districts considering CCTV surveillance to deter illicit activities

Some districts in Singapore are considering CCTV surveillance to deter illicit massage parlour activities, following enforcement action in areas such as Tanjong Pagar Plaza. Authorities will also begin consultations to review licensing laws. While residents welcome the crackdown and a shift towards more family-friendly businesses, MPs say revitalising affected areas will take time. Additional measures, including community feedback and policy changes, are being explored to address concerns expressed across multiple neighbourhoods. Claudia Lim reports.
