SINGAPORE : Security at Downtown East and Costa
Sands Resort has been increased, following the recent murder at
Downtown East and the arrest of four youths with choppers at Costa
Sands Resort.
NTUC Club, which manages the two premises, told
MediaCorp that security patrols have been stepped up, as more
visitors are expected during the school holidays.
The surveillance system has also been enhanced, and lighting
installed in dim areas.
Police have also increased their presence in the area, with more
patrols and checks at Downtown East.
Visitors said the recent incidents have not put them off from
visiting the resorts.
One visitor said: "Everything has happened, so there are bound to
be more people patrolling. So they will definitely make it more
safe."
Another commented: "I have been here quite a number of times. It
feels very safe here. Singapore is a very safe place after
all."
