Petition Fund more police resource to deal with student muggings, and stricter sentences

It is alarming that we are seeing a lot of mugging incidents targeting students.

More details

Some students are being victimized, facing traumatic experiences as their phones are snatched, being coerced into revealing passcodes, and enduring further harassment from perpetrators.

These incidents not only endanger the physical safety and emotional well-being of our youth but can also undermine their trust in the security measures provided by our society.

We believe it is imperative that immediate and decisive action is taken to address this pressing issue and ensure the safety of our students.

Enact Harsher Penalties: Introduce stricter minimum punishments for offenders to help deter future crimes.

Enhance Police Response: Fund more resource for quicker and more effective police action.
