Well....it would seem that Singapore did, surprisingly. Have been reading a lot of comments on Facebook and saw one Singapore expat mention that poster ads had been surfacing around Singapore saying No Riots and the consequences (prison terms plus caning)....all this before the event happened.

There's been some somewhat minor riots in recent months reported in the press. I think mostly Chinese workers (from China) who don't always get the same deal as other foreign workers there. It's not a level playing field. So.......

I imagine the authorities will stamp down hard.
