They also said that the police isn't doing anything in particular to stop this, and the officers seemed to be at a loss as for what could be done.<br />Clearly, "petty theft" is not the right description for this kind of organized crime!<br />When will the Singapore police wake up to the fact that it is just a small step from using heavy tools to cut bicycle locks tools to breaking doors or windows?beppihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633201251012002208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999911.post-85760046185089304902008-03-27T23:09:00.000+08:002008-03-27T23:09:00.000+08:00What I see is these:1) LTA still not sure to be su...What I see is these:<BR/>1) LTA still not sure to be supportive or not on the use of bicycle as a transportation means.<BR/>2) SMRT doesn't clearly recognized that these cyclists are their customers, even though among the very minority.
