SUSS Public Safety and Security Year 2 student, Chong Pei Yee, shared her experience moderating this session, “The fireside chat with MOS has provided me with various insights on the 3 discussion topics. It broadened my understanding regarding various courses of action outside of punitive measures that would be useful to enhance public safety.”
SUSS Public Safety and Security Year 2 student, Michelle Lim, reflected, “The interactive format of the session, allowing direct engagement with the MOS, was a rare and valuable opportunity. It facilitated a deeper understanding of how theoretical concepts are applied in real-world policy-making.
