SINGAPORE - Public entertainment nightspots have come together to set up an industry safety and security watch group with the police to implement crime prevention and counter-terrorism measures.
The Public Entertainment Industry Safety and Security Watch Group, which comprises 21 PE outlets, four associated partners and the police, will promote information sharing on nightspot related crimes islandwide and potential security threats, he added. He cited how Singapore River One, which manages the Singapore River precinct that includes Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and Robertson Quay, has created a dedicated WhatsApp chat group with its PE nightspots to allow rapid sharing of information on safety and security matters.
"For their patrons' safety, these PE nightspots help ensure that they are not left alone on the street in an intoxicated state," said Mr Amrin.
