Committee of inquiry to be set up to investigate riot

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said that a committee of inquiry will be set up to investigate the causes of the riot that broke out in Little India.

“The COI will look into the factors that led to the incident and how the incident was handled on the ground. It will also review the current measures to manage areas where foreign workers congregate, whether they are adequate and how they can be improved. MHA (Ministry of Home Affairs) will provide more details when ready,” he said in a statement.
