How should a society strike a balance between the objective of ensuring safety from dangers that may be posed by individuals believed to have a mental disorder and the deprivation of their liberty? How should police officers discharge their duties in apprehending such individuals with a view to conveying them to a medical practitioner at a psychiatric institution? These legal issues took centrestage in the Singapore High Court decision of Mah Kiat Seng v Attorney-General in which the apprehended individual brought claims in false imprisonment against a police officer. The decision examined the underlying purposes of the Singapore Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Act, the right of the person to be informed of the grounds of apprehension, the bases of the police officer's belief that the person posed a danger to himself or others, and the circumstances in which the police officers may be entitled to immunity from liability to civil or criminal proceedings. The High Court judgment led to statutory amendments to clarify police duties when apprehending such individuals and discussions about enhancements to police training and crisis support services for persons with mental illnesses.

Article Synopsis
- Drowning incident investigations face challenges in pinpointing the exact location, prompting a shift towards forensic microbiology for improved accuracy in site determination.
- The study analyzes microbial diversity in water and lung samples from drowned animals to identify distinct microbial signatures tied to different drowning sites, using advanced methods like 16S rDNA sequencing.
- Results show that machine learning models, particularly the Gradient Boosting Machine, can predict drowning locations with high accuracy (up to 95.07%), indicating the potential for integrating microbiome analysis with traditional forensic techniques to enhance investigation reliability.
