Alden Tan spotted these two security personnel as he was at Bugis with a friend on 13 September. In his email to STOMP, he wonders if the security personnel are fit enough to respond to emergencies: "I was with my friend at Bugis when we spotted security people walking around Bugis. An interesting sight caught our eyes - 2 very obese guards sluggishly walking towards us. We also noticed that people were turning back to look at them and talking. The thought crossed our mind that they may have difficulty giving chase if need to as they looked like they were already having problem walking. They are unlikely to pose much of a deterrent to a would-be terrorist! We are not discriminating against obese people but this job calls for those who are fit and nimble. We should perhaps give more thoughts to suitability before assigning duties."
