I believe that Singapore should step up on the surveillance in the light of economical crisis.

Firstly, this could help reduce crimes rates in Singapore. As the people are starting to get poorer, they tend to rely on robbing and stealing as their last resort in means of survival in this world. These cameras can help identify and track them if that happens or prevent crimes as humans have a mentality of when being watch, they would refrain from robbing or stealing. The videos also serves as evidence if in prosecution of the apprehended.

Secondly, the sales of the cameras also help economic to grow as people are willing to spend more for these cameras, whether dummies or real. As the sales goes up, the company can afford to hire more employees and thus creating more jobs for singaporeans. As more jobs are created, economic downturn will be countered in Singapore. Hence creating a cycle in which the crisis would be resolved.

Therefore with the reasons, Singapore should step up on the surveillance.
