Little India is usually packed with people on Sundays, with many construction workers from Bangladesh and India gathering there to spend their day off. Singapore has not seen a riot of this scale since 1969, when Chinese and Malay residents clashed violently. The country has tough laws on rioting that carry a sentence of up to seven years in prison and possible caning.
