内政部政务部长孙雪玲代表内政部长在国会书面答复裕廊集选区议员陈有明医生、荷兰-武吉知马集选区议员迪舒沙、蔡厝港集选区议员周凯年关于评估近期持刀袭击事件及提供安全保障的额外措施相关问题。‍‍

以下内容为新加坡眼根据国会英文资料翻译整理:

陈有明医生(裕廊集选区议员)询问内政部长:

(a) 如何评估近期报道的持刀犯罪事件(即个人使用刀具伤害他人)?

(b) 此类事件是否呈上升趋势,如果是,评估的原因是什么?

(c) 正在采取哪些措施确保新加坡人继续拥有安全的生活环境?‍

迪舒沙(荷兰-武吉知马集选区议员)先生询问内政部长:鉴于近期在宗教场所发生的持刀袭击事件,除了增加警察巡逻频率外,还采取了哪些措施以确保宗教场所的个人安全?

孙雪玲(内政部政务部长,代表内政部长):议长先生,我将回答今天议程表中的问题。我相信这些问题与陈有明医生的问题有关,同时也涉及周凯年(蔡厝港集选区议员)提交的后续问题(该问题计划在后续会议中讨论)。我也邀请周凯年先生在需要时提出澄清,如果今天的问题得到满意答复,周凯年先生可能无需在后续会议中继续提问。

议长:抱歉,孙政务部长,这是否也包括今天议程表中迪舒沙先生提交的第53号问题?

孙雪玲(内政部政务部长):是的,确实如此,谢谢。截至2024年11月,2024年共发生129起涉及刀具的谋杀、谋杀未遂、抢劫、骚乱和严重伤害案件。这一数字与过去三年的案件数量相当。2021年至2023年期间,平均每年发生133起案件。除2024年11月在圣约瑟夫教堂发生的持刀袭击事件外,这些犯罪均未发生在宗教场所。内政部(MHA)未按犯罪者是否患有心理健康问题来追踪案件。我们的警察经过培训并配备了应对涉及刀具犯罪的装备,将在接到警报后迅速采取行动以消除威胁。

当有具体威胁信息或总体威胁级别升级时,警方将加强安全措施,例如增加巡逻频率。他们还将与相关利益相关者合作,确保采取适当的安全措施。

为保障公共安全,我们还限制销售某些类型刀具及类似攻击性武器,这些物品的合法用途有限。根据《军火与爆炸物法》,内政部目前对六种物品的销售进行监管,包括匕首、剑、矛、矛头、刺刀和危险弓箭。2025年上半年《枪支、爆炸物和武器管制法》生效后,管制范围将扩大到包括弹簧刀和指节铜套。

尽管涉及刀具的犯罪发生率较低,但我们仍需了解如何应对此类袭击。2024年11月圣约瑟夫教堂的事件就是一个例子。两名男子帮助制服了袭击者,而其他会众则为神父提供了急救。他们的行动防止了更多伤亡,并在当局到达现场前将神父的伤害降至最低。因此,我们必须继续系统地增强社会对紧急情况的韧性,这也是我们多年来一直在做的事情。

警方和新加坡民防部队通过“安全与安保观察小组”(SSWG)与全新加坡的建筑业主和管理者合作,进行安全审计、分享最佳实践并提供建筑安全与安保意识培训。定期进行演习以测试应急响应计划和地面准备情况。

我们还通过文化、社区及青年部的“宗教组织应急准备认可计划”与社区和宗教组织(包括宗教场所)密切合作。宗教组织参与安全自我评估、制定应急计划并参加反恐研讨会,以更好地了解威胁。

最后,内政部与合作伙伴机构还通过“全国保家安民计划”(SGSecure)与广大公众接触。外展工作包括分享建议,例如“跑、躲、报”和“压、绑、报”,以及学习急救、心肺复苏和使用自动体外除颤器等应急准备技能的重要性。这些措施共同帮助确保我们的社会保持高水平的公共安全、安保意识和应急准备能力。

以下是英文质询内容:

Dr Tan Wu Meng asked the Minister for Home Affairs (a) what is the assessment of recent reported incidents of knife crime incidents where individuals use knives to harm others; (b) whether there has been an up-trend and, if so, what are the assessed reasons; and (c) what is being done to ensure that Singaporeans continue to have a safe and secure living environment.

Mr Christopher de Souza asked the Minister for Home Affairs in light of the recent knife attack at a place of worship, what is being done beyond higher frequency in Police patrols to provide personal safety assurance at places of worship.

The Minister of State for Home Affairs (Ms Sun Xueling) (for the Minister for Home Affairs): Mr Speaker, Sir, I will address the questions in today's Order Paper. I believe these are in relation to Dr Tan's questions, and as well as a subsequent question filed by Mr Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim1 which is scheduled for a subsequent Sitting. I also invite Mr Zhulkarnain to seek clarifications if needed and if the questions are satisfactorily answered today, it may not be necessary for Mr Zhulkarnain to proceed with his question subsequently.

As of November —

Mr Speaker: Sorry, Minister of State Sun, this will also cover Question No 53 in today's Order Paper, filed by Mr Christopher de Souza?

Ms Sun Xueling: Yes, indeed, thank you. As of November 2024, there were 129 cases of murder, attempted murder, robbery, rioting and serious hurt involving knives in 2024. This is comparable to the number of cases in the preceding three years. Between 2021 and 2023, there was an average of 133 cases a year. None of these crimes occurred at a place of worship, with the sole exception of the knife attack at St Joseph's Church in November 2024. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) does not track the cases by whether the offenders had mental health issues. Our Police officers are trained and equipped to deal with crimes involving knives and will respond swiftly to neutralise the threat when alerted.

When there is information on specific threats or when the general threat level is escalated, the Police will step up security measures, such as increasing the frequency of patrols. They will also engage with relevant stakeholders to ensure that appropriate security measures are put in place.

To safeguard public safety, we also limit the sale of certain types of knives and similar offensive weapons, which have limited legitimate use. Through the Arms and Explosives Act, MHA currently regulates the sale of six of these daggers, swords, spears, spearheads, bayonets and dangerous bows and arrows. This will be expanded to include flick knives and knuckle dusters when the Guns, Explosives and Weapons Control Act is operationalised in the first half of 2025.

While the incidence of crimes involving knives is low, it is important, nevertheless, that we all know how to respond when such attacks occur. The November 2024 incident at St Joseph's Church is a case in point. Two men helped subdue the attacker, while other members of the congregation provided first aid to the priest. Their actions prevented further casualties and minimised the injury to the priest before the authorities arrived on the scene. We must therefore continue to systematically build up the resilience of our society to emergencies, and we have been doing this over the years.

The Police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force work with building owners and managers across Singapore via the Safety and Security Watch Group to conduct security audits, share best practices and deliver training on building safety and security awareness. Exercises are regularly conducted to test contingency response plans and ground readiness in the event of emergencies.

We also work closely with community and religious organisations, including places of worship, through the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth's Crisis Preparedness for Religious Organisations Programme, where religious organisations participate in security self-assessments, develop contingency plans and attend counter-terrorism seminars to understand the threat better.

Finally, MHA, together with our partner agencies, has also been engaging the broader public, through the SGSecure movement. Outreach efforts include sharing advisories, such as "Run, Hide, Tell" and "Press, Tie, Tell", as well as the importance of learning emergency preparedness skills, such as first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of automated external defibrillators. Together, these measures help ensure a high level of public safety, security awareness and contingency readiness in our society.
