Does anyone knows what the lights & numbers mean? To frighten the rioters???

gd4u SG

IIRC, the numbers was a signal to the police officers rather than to rioters. Signalling threat level. Someone please confirm this.

Perhaps they have mirrors in the shields.

Singmarine SG

Dun u think there is a more intelligent way of relaying instructions? Then why they use their walkie talkie for? Unless they never carry walkie talkie?

But cannot find any info on the above from this link leh

I had seen mirror on the shield. Walkie talkies will be difficult to use given that both hands holding the shield and baton.

Arrows indicate directions I suppose.

Singmarine SG

Their shields are transparent plastic. Then what is a loud hailer for?

My friend say the signs is to warn the rioters.

if <- 2 means 2 more squads needed to the left...if 3-> means 3 more squads needed to the right..x means more than that or any balance men...green means crowd clearing..yellow means stand by...red means proceed cautiously..

Role of Ang Chia is to prevent Lee Kuan Yew's greatest nightmare from happening:

Masses of people gathering together to demand overthrow of Lee Kuan Yew's repressive regime.

Chee Soon Juan's wet dream and Lee Kuan Yew's nightmare.

Lee Kuan Yew sees this type of situation, he will go insane.
