Seems like it has been confirmed in Parliament that NEA is exploring the use of thermal cameras to catch those smokers who smoke indiscriminately. These cameras could be deployed to areas where smoking is prohibited, and industry experts said that the camera is likely able to capture high definition images of the smokers' faces even from 100m away.
These cameras could also apparently track the offenders while they are on the move, be it day or night. So, if you have any doubts that Singapore is a Police state, and is deploying big brother tactics, this is further prove that we are.
While the cameras will be deployed in public areas, how much longer before even the privacy in our homes are not safe from such intrusive policing? This is the Perfect Singapore, apparently.
