What are the priorities right now?

Go for traffic offenders and those that abuse the highways.

Leave the drugs, gangs, over-stayers, fire-safety, etc.. to the CNB, SSB, Immigration and SCDF to do on an as and when basis.

The death of those two little ones in Tampines is still something fresh.

So Dear SPF, please ask (or may I say request) your TP to concentrate on the highways and rid it of the devils instead of always wanting to catch drink drivers.

Our highways are slowly turning into a HELL.
