Due to strict gun laws, gun violence rarely occurs in Singapore.

In June, a 21-year-old and 19-year-old man came under police scrutiny after they posted a video of one of them carrying a realistic-looking toy shotgun online.

Earlier this March, Goh Ze Lin, a Certis Cisco auxiliary police officer, was sentenced nine weeks in jail after he fired a bullet in a Harbourfront Centre mall toilet cubicle on 8 January 2021, while he was mulling over his finances.
