Riots that happened in UK can happen anywhere, including Singapore: Shanmugam

Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam said if riots can happen in the UK -- which is amongst the best governed countries -- they can happen anywhere, including Singapore. He said factors like weak law enforcement, allowing hate speech and poor immigration control, lead to lawlessness and riots. He added that laws in Singapore that disallow protests, target fake news and foreign interference, are part of a framework that prevents riots from breaking out. CNA also takes a look at the roots of the UK riots, and why Singapore should pay attention.
