Police have arrested 8 more Indian nationals, following the Little India riot on Sunday.
Authorities warn of more arrests in the coming days.
More cameras will be installed in the Race Course Road vicinity, and police presence there will be stepped up.
Police have released timeline of the incident that night, which began with a traffic accident, and ended with a huge riot that put Singapore in international spotlight.
Around 400 people are suspected to have been involved in the riot, making it tough for state media to dub it a “sit-in”.
