SINGAPORE - Singapore is rapidly stepping up its use of technology to keep its security industry relevant in the face of heightened security threats, said Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Home Affairs and National Development Sun Xueling on Wednesday .
"We need to urgently transform the way security services are provided as this over-reliance on manpower is not sustainable. Technology offers us an opportunity to do so," said Ms Sun, who was at the Security Industry Conference at Marina Bay Sands. "Security officers work alongside the Home Team to keep Singapore safe and secure. It is our common interest to build a more competent and professional security industry, where security officers are equipped with the necessary skill sets to discharge their important security roles effectively," he said.
