Draft 2

Dear Andy,

How are you? Is it great studying in United Kingdom? I hope you'll be fine. I'm here to tell you about the riot in Little India in Singapore. At the eighth of December, It started from a bus running over a Indian national man, he was thirty-three and named Sakthival. It was occurred at the junction of  Race Course Road and Tekka Lane.

Then, the police was informed about the serious road accident and the Civil Defence Force was alerted two minutes later. An ambulance also arrived at the scene. Next, a police and a fire engine arrives while there was a crowd of a hundred congregated. The police reinforcements came and at the same time, the crowd swelled up to approximately four hundred persons. The body of the worker under the bus was extricated. The angry mob started pelting the emergency officers with concrete blocks and beer bottles.

The group of Special Operations Command officer immediately arrived to form up and disperse the crowd. The police took control of the scene while High Visibility patrols were deployed to avoid the rioters from regrouping. The police were as busy as a bee. They found thirty-six suspects and arrested them. At the ninth of December, the Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong orders the Committee of Inquiry into cause of unrest. The second Home Affairs Minister Iswaran also announces the temporary ban of alcohol sales in Little India.

The tenth day of December, eight more suspects were arested for alleged involvement in the riot. Twenty-four Indian workers, aged between twenty-two and fourty are charged in court. The last day, the eleventh of December, the police said that three more workers will be charged in court. I feel that this riot can be avoided and not get into trouble. If they can just leave the accident in the police's hands, this would not have happened. The police would not be troubled to find the suspects. I hope you think this is intresting, I look forward to your visit to Singapore next month.

Yours Truly,
Damien
