Hawkers fall prey to brazen break-ins.

Answer: The stalls at the two markets are easily broke into as the units top covering is exposed. It give Buglers a chance to commit a crime. The source of the problem is that stall owners tend to leave their valuables in their stalls thinking that i would be safe. A stall owner Mdm chen who was interviewed said that she had installed metal bar which connects to the front. But sadly the bugler managed to broke in by just tying a broom and raffia string to a basket and then sweeping the valuables into the basket.

2. What do you think should be done to tighten the security of the markets? What do you think of the burglars who brazenly break into the stalls?

Answer: I think that the stall owners should have installed shutters on top and infront of their stalls. On the other hand they should have kept their valuables with them and not leaving them behind at their stalls, this would give the buglers a chance to commit a crime. They might think its ok since the crime rate is low but they must always bare in mind that low crime doesn't mean no crime. I think that the buglers are heartless to steal from stall owners , its their hard earned up keep. And the buglers are not crippled why not they get a job and feed themselves to show that they are capable of that if not they are just worthless scums. Lowly buglers who steals from aged uncle and aunties who work day and night sweating just to earn some up keep.
