Q4. Crowds are increasingly difficult to manage. What suggestions have you for controlling the behavior of a large group of people?
In Singapore, it is a common sight to see crowds all over the places. However, the problem would lie in how to manage such a big crowd. An example would be in school. A school would more or less consist of more then 1000 students and it would not be easy for the teachers to manage the students. These students are grouped into classes and would be easier to move around the school during dismissal time or recess in an orderly manner. In public places, the people would move along without any supervision, thus it is harder to control the crowd. In a MRT station, people would be rushing for their train rides or even train seats. Most Singaporeans would either neglect the people around them or they are just oblivious to the surroundings, so they would not know when they hurt someone. In such a disastrous situation, thankfully, there would be security guards stationed in the MRT station to stay guard in case of any emergencies. In such a crowded area, it would be chaotic if there are sightings of terrorism or a fire broke out, it wouldn’t be easy to keep the crowd calm. For such scenarios, safety exits would come in handy and there a few fire extinguishers placed around the MRT.
