In the past year, Singapore's security sector has had to adapt to the disruption caused by the pandemic. While the change to a more technology-based and manpower-light operational set-up would have come eventually, Covid-19 has accelerated it. Mr Nelson Tee, president of the Security Systems Association of Singapore, told The Straits Times: "The Covid-19 pandemic was a catalyst to quicken the adoption of new technologies. Without Covid-19, there would still be change, but at a slower pace." Where it was previously common to see two or three officers manning a condominium security post, one is now the norm. Booking-in applications and online pre-registrations for condominium visitors offer convenience and less exposure for both visitors and security officers, said Mr Tee.
