Singapore launches mobile app in fight against terrorism
Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong launched a new mobile app on Saturday that would allow the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) to send important alerts to the public during terrorist attacks or other major emergencies, IB Times reports.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) told Channel NewsAsia that the SGSecure app is a “one-stop portal for members of the public to download useful information on counter-terrorism and to receive alerts in the event of major emergencies in Singapore.”
This app is intended to develop the current mass alert capabilities like the public warning system. SGSecure app will provide information and guidance to members of the public in case of a major crisis like a terrorist attack or fire accidents.
