SINGAPORE - While the choice of Capella Singapore hotel in Sentosa as the meeting place for US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will provide a scenic setting for the summit, experts say protecting it will require more security resources than if the event was held in the city.

For one thing, security agencies will have to plan for potential maritime incursions, said Mr Muhammad Faizal Abdul Rahman from the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies' (RSIS') Centre of Excellence for National Security.
