The arrest of two individuals for breaching Cooling Off Day rules has been the talk of social media this week.

 

Two days ago, police officers visited the home of one of the individuals, ex-ISA detainee and ex-SDP member Teo Soh Lung, and took items from Teo’s home for investigation purposes. Part of the process was filmed by lawyer Jeannette Chong-Aruldoss.

 

She uploaded a total of three clips. The first showed a man explaining to Teo some of the procedures of the seizing of belongings. The next two videos were of Chong (presumably) asking two individuals about their identities.

 

The female “officer” who identified herself as “Diyana” and an “inspector” claimed to have left her police badge in the car when questioned by Chong. Another individual by the name of “Greg” also did not have any identification. Chong said there were seven individuals in total, of which five wore police lanyards and two did not.

The Singapore Police Force, in an old Facebook post, it provided this advisory:

 

(The) public is advised to verify the identity of the police officer before complying with the instructions of the officer. If in doubt of the identity of the person claiming to be a police officer, such as when he is unable to produce his warrant card, you should call ‘999’ for assistance.

 

But enough of the technicalities of what the police can or cannot do or whether they should have their identification on them at all times.

 

The Internet has more important things to pay attention to, and in today’s case it is for “officer Diyana” in this Hardwarezone thread – [GVGT] Chiobu “inspector” who left her badge in the car kym?

If they really breached the T&C of Cooling day, then they have to face the music ... unless they can prove that the articles are uploaded by someone else or the webpage is corrupted ... just like what FB had came out to say ...
