SINGAPORE — In response to queries on a recent spate of public violence involving armed offenders, the police said that they 'will not tolerate heinous and violent crimes that threaten public safety' and will spare no effort bringing offenders to justice swiftly.

In the response on Thursday to queries from TODAY about the recent spate of violence, the police said that for"egregious cases where public safety is concerned", they will launch a manhunt to arrest the perpetrators if they are on the run.

"The best we can hope for is to reduce violent crime but we have to be realistic that no society can ever be totally free from criminality, including violent conduct."The miscommunication can lead to pent up anger, coupled with stress and anxiety with the emotional issues related to the pandemic resulting in an individual unable to stop, reflect and think.

He added that the police will"continue to increase patrol on areas where there is potential high crime" in order to provide assurance to members of the public. However, Singapore still enjoys low crime rates and consistently ranked among the safest countries in the world, according to Statista, a statistics portal.
