I HAD a good laugh when I read (EA Feb 17) that Superintendent Wee Tek Hoong of the Singapore police was visiting Swindon to find out more about British policing.
Surely the boot should be on the other foot. Residents of Singapore are free to walk the streets without fear of being mugged, pavements are not spattered with chewing gum, graffiti is unheard of, the city is litter free and the anti spitting law is strictly adhered to.
Unlike Swindon which has an ever growing drug culture Singapore is probably the most drug free city in the world.
Rather than visit us we should send senior police officers, or better still, some of our politicians to Singapore as it has so much to teach us regarding law and order and zero tolerance.
