The advantages of CCT surveillance is that crimes have been cut down by a rather large amount and it shows that it is effective in reducing crimes as people are afraid to get caught on camera doing a crime.
The disadvantages is that people's have no privacy as the cameras are almost everywhere, and their every single move and even their license plate number will be tracked and can be seen, and not everybody likes being 'followed' all around.
I think Singapore should step up on CCT surveillance if they think it's affordable. It is shown that it's effective in states like New York and Chicago where crime rates really dropped.
As long as i'm not doing anything against the law and have nothing to fear, it's fine if there are more CCTVs around in Singapore. Citizens might also try not to be as ungracious as they were if there are cameras all around them. This might help improve Singapore's image as a more gracious society.
