Dr. Chang made the declaration after participating in a live demonstration of the new paperless system at the Harbour View Police Station on Thursday (June 9).
“It is a very powerful tool [for) the police]… . I am happy that it is proceeding smoothly now. It… [has had] a few glitches here and there, but it’s coming [along] very well,” Dr. Chang told JIS News following the session.
Dr. Chang, who was accompanied by State Minister in the Ministry, Hon.

“I’m pleased with it, and I know it will bring significant improvement to policing in all areas, including tracking down the murderers,” he said.
