The four pirates invading incidents occurred within the third day of the waters around Singapore. Not only did all relevant institutions actively notice that shipping companies and ships of maritime transportation were actively notified, it also caused the international community media to pay attention to it again.
In fact, in recent years, pirate invasion cases have become increasingly serious in the Singapore Strait and the waters around the Malacca Strait.Although in the East Asian waters, there are also pirate invasion cases in Manila, the Philippines, and the waters along the Vietnam coast, after all, Singapore is close to the key channels of international waters and has a relatively high degree of attention.There is a sense of crisis.
First of all, Singapore has an extremely positive international image on the global stage. Regardless of government governance capabilities and public security environment, it has always been praised.Therefore, the occurrence of pirate invasion in the surrounding waters of Singapore has indeed a very serious negative impact for the overall national reputation of Singapore.
Secondly, we must also say fair words. Although the Singapore Strait is named after Singapore, it is like the Malacca Strait. The surrounding coasts are divided into Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.The case of pirate invasion in related waters is not necessarily the problem that it is not effective in Singapore. However, in the pen of international media, the entire focus will gather on Singapore. When it is unreasonable, it will naturally drag the international reputation of Singapore.
Furthermore, although the Singapore government does not do its best to fight for the safety of pirates to maintain shipping, it has also established an international cooperation mechanism with neighbors through various initiatives to report and share relevant public security information information.However, from the statistics of various pirate invasion incidents in recent years, I am afraid there is still considerable room for effort.
In addition, due to the high economic structure of Singapore relying on international shipping activities, pirate invasion cases may indeed affect the safety of the sea transportation and increase operating costs. Especially when the international maritime insurance insurance is emerging endlessly because of pirate invasion cases, it has begun to adjust the basic fee of insurance basic fees through the waters around Singapore.At the time of rate, it will not only hurt the national image, but also substantially impact the market price of the commercial sea transportation.Therefore, the Singapore government may wish to consider raising the pirate invasion cases from the level of public security threats to the national security challenge.
However, we must point out that in the face of statistics on the number of pirate invasion cases rising, media reports are mostly concentrated in criminal incidents and samples. For various countries in the surrounding countries, they have a relatively large gap in the cooperation mechanism and cooperation mechanism.In addition to negative defense, how to actively track the arrest of pirates and rides in order to produce obstacles. It should also take an active offensive on the media propaganda front.
Modern technology is really helpful for preventing and chasing pirate invasion, and even the construction of sea area monitoring.For example, the use of drones will implement low -altitude investigation and patrols under the premise of not preventing civil aviation operations, with various detection and search systems and identification equipment with night vision capabilities, providing offshore shipping operations, or anchoring in specific sea areas.Images, for coordination and dispatch of maritime public security inspection ships, will double the efficiency of their troops.
The use of non -fatal weapons with drones can quickly respond to chasing pirate ships, and timely pillar criminal criminals and ships are splashed to pirate crimes in a timely manner to investigate after the incident. It is also worth thinking about.Of course, it is required to be equipped with an automatic identification system in the high -density seas of pirate cases and Poada. Regardless of the tonnage, it must be equipped with an automatic identification system, and then cooperate with inspection, identification, interception and boarding check.
In fact, as for the crime of anti -pirates, although everyone gets everyone in the international community, when using the international cooperation mechanism to fight the pirates, there will alwaysIt is not positive enough to take care of things.Therefore, by providing rewards, it can actively assist in preventing and eliminating the cause of pirates in other countries, and expand to the criminal responsibility of pirates to be held in charge of pirate activities, and can also obtain bounty at the same time.
In the end, we still have to say that in the international key sea transportation channel surrounded by many national territories, all pirates have to rely on the gaps to survive.It is necessary to rely on international cooperation mechanisms, and neighboring countries work together to solve the problem.
The problem of pirate invasion in the waters around the Singapore Strait and the Singapore Strait will finally get three monks without water. This is a test of political determination and wisdom of all neighboring countries.It is not a low -grade public security issue and threat to provide an important international public financial financial financial financial financial financial financial financial financial financial financial financial financial financial financial financial financial fortune in the international community.I wonder if my friends in Singapore are the same as me?
