Wau lau en, a mere 4 peaceful protesters, they send in the whole riot squad! Next times, if the protesters swell to 10, probably K9 units, apache helicopter or F16 might call in.

Well, I was not surprise the riot police was called in for 4 peaceful protesters. Remember the hundreds of Police, Army & The Gurkha's was called upon to go after the 3 fugitives at Paula Tekong?

Maybe the riot police needs some drill practise, that's why the whole squad was brought in.

Excerpt:

“This section go to the right! The rest go left! No one is to come through!” barked the corporal to his men, clad in full riot gear – truncheons, shields, head gear, and shin guards.

The threat? Four (yes, 4) activists who had assembled outside the Central Provident Fund Building in downtown Singapore to protest against the non-transparent and non-accountable nature of the way the Singapore Government deals with public funds"
