Saw an accident and ambulance came within 10 minutes. I thought that was fast. however, police took 45 min! Reason.. officer said "they came from far away". Is that a norm or theres just too many accidents and not enough tp around?

Read about it So it was happening after all

Dun Flame me, I'm just checking if I can inform the neighbourhood police to provide "extra" patrolling service around my HDB area? if lets say, there's nobody home for a short period of time of one week when I'm going overseas. If they do, anyway to notify them(call NPC?, online notification?) as I've checked S'pore Police Force website and apparently there dun seem to have such service.

SIGLAP ( SI-GLAP ) SI MEANS "die" IN HOKKIEN. My heart pains that this police car got to be considered as Bad Debt. RIP. Police car overturned at Siglap Tue, Oct 28, 2008 AsiaOne A police car crashed into some railing, damaged a bus stop, and flipped onto the fences of two houses on Monday. As reported by Shin Min Daily, the accident happened at about 5pm at Frankel Avenue in the Siglap area. It was drizzling, and the driver lost control as he was cruising towards Changi road. The supports on one side of the bus stop were knocked out, as was one of the bus stop seats. Parts of the railing ended up in the ditch. The hood of the police car was totally smashed on the pavement, while the boot was balanced on the fence of one of the houses behind the bus stop. Part of the low wall surrounding the neighbouring house was also destroyed. Shattered glass from the windscreen and some parts of the car were scattered on the pavement as well. Fortunately no passerbys were injured. The driver, a policeman from Bedok Police Post, suffered mild injuries to his head and arm. He was not patrolling when the accident happened. From the extent of the damage it appears that the car was travelling at high speed when it skidded. Police are investigating the incident and urge any eye witnesses to call 1800-5471818 to contact the investigating personnel.

Very angry.. Was at a convenience stall and saw a customer quarreling with the cashier (lady), the customer looked like hes high or something and ready to attack her, but after shouted lotsa vulgarities he turned to leave. I went to pay for my purchase, to cut things short..... then he got violent, rushed back in and attacked me while trying to attack the cashier, left me bleeding/bruised. Police called. With the whole attack captured on CCTV and the casher as witness, the police say they wont do anything, up to me to take legal action on my own. WTF... no wonder low crime ... not follwed up what?! Somemore say the person is a karang guni, no point take action against him. What the point of having law "enforcers" when they dont enforce the law? Might as well just call them law "observers". If I choose to go to court, anyone know what can result? What possible punishment will be given to the assailant? or will the couty just say settle outside?

Guys, Since my previous thread has been removed and you all eager to know what is Traffic Police reply regarding the overtaking lane. It is not wrong to give way to fast-moving vehicles if you are already travelling within the speed limit unless those emergency vehicles like Ambulance or Police cars. You should give way to fast moving vehicles on the extreme right lane of the road or expressway if you are slower than the speed limit of the road or expressway. Even if you are travelling above the speed limit of the road, you are advised to keep your speed within the speed limit of the road. Do take note of those highlighted portion : "Dear Mr XXX I refer to your preceding email. You may wish to know that it is also an offence to drive at unreasonably low speeds on the road, especially on the rightmost lane or along the centre of the road or expressway. Motorists travelling slowly are advised to keep to the left side of the road or expressway-especially small capacity motorcycles, goods vehicles and lorries. In addition, motorists travelling in the extreme right lanes should give way to fast-moving vehicles intending to overtake. However, while motorists should not hinder the smooth flow of traffic, such fast-moving vehicles should also keep within the stipulated speed limit for that particular stretch of road, or of their vehicles, whichever is lower.

Below is the email I sent to Traffic Police : "17 Oct, 2008 06:37 PM To SPF Feedback TP/SPF/SINGOV@SINGOV cc Subject Rules for overtaking in Lane 1 Dear Officer-in-charge, I like to bring to your attention regarding a bad experience I encountered this afternoon around 12pm when I was traveling at speed limit of 100km/h along PIE towards Jurong some where after Tampines Exit. I was traveling at 100km/h on Lane 1 of the PIE as the speed limit for that stretch of road is 90km/h and there was no car in front and lane 2. Suddenly, there is a Subaru Legacy coming from a distance traveling above 100km/h and tailgating me for some time. I did not give way to him and he overtake me from Lane 2 and stare at me when his car was beside my car, after he overtake my car, he suddenly slow down to around 60km/h causing me to step on my brake as it is below the speed limit of the road. I ignore him and change lane to lane 2, letting other vehicles to play with him and I change back to lane 1 after I see no more oncoming vehicles from lane 1. It was some distance some where before Eunos exit that I see this Subaru Legacy again in front of my car at lane 1, I stay away some distance from him knowing his intention but he suddenly change to lane 2 and exit out of Paya Lebar Exit. My passenger was telling me that the driver stare at me again but I just ignore him as safety is more important. I was told by my friends and some forum members that even though I am travelling within the speed limit of the expressway on lane 1, I need to give way to vehicles which are traveling at higher speed and I am consider a road hogger when I don't give way to them? I know that lane 1 is for overtaking vehicles and I will give way to authority vehicles if needed even though I am traveling at the speed limit of the road, I will also need to change back to lane 2 if I need to overtake some vehicles. Please advise me the proper rules for lane 1 and overtaking and hope you can reply me soon, thanks. Regards, Mr XXX"

M'sian cop charged with rape of teenage student Fri, Jul 18, 2008 The Star PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA - A MALAYSIAN policeman who has been suspended from his duties, was charged in court here on Friday with raping a student and forcing her to perform oral sex on him in a police station. Jamil Abdul Sah, 27, of Damansara, pleaded not guilty to both charges. He is alleged to have committed the offences on the 17-year-old girl in a room at the Putra Heights police station between 6am and 7am on June 18. If convicted, he could be jailed up to 50 years and whipped for both offences. Assistant Public Prosecutor Nor Shamsinar Mohamad asked the court to deny bail on the grounds that he could disturb the victim and tamper with evidence. Jamil who has been a cop since June 2001 was suspended from his duties on June 23. Lawyer Gobind Singh Deo, who held a watching brief for the victim, supported the prosecution's argument to deny bail saying that the girl was psychological depressed. 'If a policeman dares to rape a victim in a police station, he might try to threaten her outside,' he said. Mr Gobind Singh said the victim had lodged a police report on June 22 saying that she was threatened by the accused during the incident. 'The accused told her not to be afraid as there were too many woman like her that he had seen before. After the incident, the accused even called her and invited her to go to his house, ' he said. He said his client's family was afraid as the case involved a policeman and asked the court to consider public interest and gravity of the offences. 'Being suspended from duty is not an issue, in fact it is worse as he can do a variety of other things now,' he contended. Judge Balqis set the bail at RM15,000 and set Oct 22 for trial. The judge also ordered the accused not to contact the victim through his friends or agents or on his own. She also asked him to surrender his passport to court. It was reported that the teenager and her boyfriend were allegedly taken to the station after her boyfriend did not have a licence to ride a motorcycle. -- The Star/ANN.

Anwar's conditions for DNA testing Sat, Jul 19, 2008 The Star KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA: PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will not agree to the DNA process "until we are absolutely certain that whatever samples taken from him and whatever tests, are conducted independently, professionally and without interference by the police," his lawyer R. Sivarasa said. However, at a later function in Malacca, Anwar said he was unafraid and willing to provide DNA samples but was concerned over tampering of evidence that he claimed had befallen him 10 years ago on a similar charge. "They asked me what I was afraid of ... I'm not afraid to give my blood ... but I know they fabricate and that is my problem," he told supporters who had gathered to hear him speak in Jalan Cheng-Tanjung Minyak. Meanwhile, Sivarasa said the offer to allow Anwar to pick his own doctors to conduct the DNA test would not solve the problem, as there was the fear that the final report of the test and samples would be tampered with. He said statements by Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar were tantamount to interfering in ongoing investigations. Syed Hamid had suggested that Anwar pick his own doctors to examine his DNA sample and that he had nothing to fear. Sivarasa told a press conference at Anwar's home in Segambut yesterday that a court order to force the PKR adviser to give his DNA sample was not permissible under Malaysian law. He also reminded the authorities that police still had Anwar's DNA from the earlier case. Sivarasa said the police bail for Anwar's release was RM10,000 and not RM150,000 as reported.

Drugs found inside cubicle which was locked for 2 days Police storm toilet cubicle, man flees July 17, 2008 FOR two days last week, a locked cubicle in one of the male toilets in Goldpine Industrial Building had workers scratching their heads. Goldpine Industrial Complex. -- TNP Picture: JONATHAN CHOO A man had locked himself in and refused to come out. Workers in the building along Joo Seng Road had heard noises coming from inside the cubicle. When they peeped under the door, they saw a leg against the partition wall. Last Thursday, an employee from a shop on the sixth storey, who declined to be named, went to the male toilet on the same level at about 8am. He noticed that one of the five cubicles was locked. When he went back in the afternoon and at 5.30pm, it was still locked. 'I thought something might be amiss and I figured someone was inside, but I didn't check,' he told The New Paper. The next morning, he found it was still locked. He said: 'The day before, I did not hear any noise coming from inside the cubicle. But the next day, I heard something that sounded like water boiling.' He did not knock on the door or call out to the person inside as he was afraid the latter would be dangerous. The police were called in after two men from the maintenance and security department failed to persuade the man to come out. A police spokesman confirmed they got a call at 4.40pm. The employee said two police officers arrived at 5pm and broke down the cubicle door. The man fled from the toilet. The spokesman confirmed that 'the man managed to flee'. He added that 'drugs and drug paraphernalia were found in the cubicle'. He described the man as tanned, 1.7m tall, wearing a yellow jersey and a brown cap. The police are investigating. The building management declined to comment.

SINGAPORE: Police have released more details on escaped Jemaah Islamiyah leader Mas Selamat Kastari's facial features. They said he has a mole on the right side of his cheek, below the eye, and has thin lips. Since his escape, police have also highlighted to the public that he has a limp on his left leg, visible only when he runs or walks fast. Described as a cautious and patient man, police believe Mas Selamat is still in Singapore. Deputy Prime Minister and Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng said: "The search will continue for Mas Selamat. That's why the whole Home team is out in full force, in cooperation with the Singapore Armed Forces which has been very helpful in the hunt for Mas Selamat." Assistant Commissioner Wong Hong Kuan, Operations Director of Singapore Police Force, said: "Based on our intelligence analysis of the person, it further strengthens our belief that he's still in Singapore. "He's likely to be extremely cautious and the first thing he'd try to do when he escapes and has no means of getting out of the country quickly is to try and hide and wait for our guard to falter before he tries to make good his escape." Over 3,000 officers of the Home team have been deployed in the search for Mas Selamat. Some of these officers searched the MacRitchie Reservoir on Sunday. Police said they have received over 1,400 hotline calls on his whereabouts. Posted: 16 March 2008 1626 hrs

Seems like they only know how to act tough, but internally all Tai-Chi Master. No coordinations and coorperations among different departments. They also expect you to tell them your crime to make their job easier, to inform them you are being investigated by other police for other crimes!! This takes the cake man! Judge slams cops for sloppy work in loan-scam case K.C. Vijayan Wed, Feb 13, 2008 The Straits Times IT SEEMED like a relatively straightforward case: a businessman was caught in a scam involving car loans and certificates of entitlement. But three police divisions soon became involved; officers interviewed and re-interviewed suspects and the case dragged on for more than four years. Last week, a Judge of Appeal slammed the police for what he called 'slipshod' investigations and made clear the courts can hand out 'discount' sentences in some exceptional cases that experience long delays. '(Suspects) must not only be brought to justice, but they must be brought to justice swiftly,' said Justice V. K. Rajah in a written judgement released last week. The man at the centre of the case in question - businessman Randy Chan Kum Hong - suffered through years of 'agonising uncertainty occasioned needlessly by rather slipshod investigations', said the judge. 'The public expects and is entitled to expect better from our police force.' The written judgment comes about four months after Justice Rajah overturned a lengthy jail term for Chan. Throughout the 13-page written judgment, Justice Rajah repeatedly referred to the sloppy police work, saying it was unfair to Chan - even though he 'unquestionably' deserved to be punished for his crimes. The 39-year-old Chan was part of a group of scammers who, from 1998 to 2001, cheated finance companies into granting vehicle loans. Nabbed in 2002, he admitted to cheating and was jailed for nine months. But while he confessed to more crimes, charges for those were not brought against him until last July. During the second round of prosecution, Chan was initially sentenced to five years' jail. On appeal, Justice Rajah slashed it to just two days. In spelling out his reasons for doing so, he said the 'lack of diligence was unsatisfactory'. The only saving grace for officers was that the delay was 'neither deliberate nor malicious', he wrote. Justice Rajah said prosecutions should not be carried out in 'dribs and drabs', and defendants should be dealt with in one go, where possible. This is to ensure that convicts have a chance to integrate back into society after serving their time. This is especially so for Chan, who Justice Rajah said is an 'entirely different person today'. The judge said his work made him a role model for the Yellow Ribbon Project, which aims to help criminals fit back into society. After his release from jail in 2003, Chan rose from technician to become the general manager of a mobile phone company. He had also won custody of his two sons, aged 11 and 14, from a former marriage. Justice Rajah said the charges filed in 2007 threatened to destroy 'in one fell swoop' all of Chan's good work after his release. However, the judge said not all cases of delayed prosecution will see the accused getting a 'discount' in sentencing. This is especially so in cases where a suspect flees the country, destroys evidence or refuses to help police with their investigations, he said. Those who commit heinous offences or repeat offenders will also not be eligible for a shorter sentence. Justice Rajah also rejected arguments that Chan had a duty to tell police he was being investigated by other divisions. 'This would in effect absurdly transfer the responsibility for any possible existing shortcomings in the police investigation units to the offender - which is plainly not right,' he said. Lawyers said the unusual case showed the courts are sensitive to the facts and are prepared to weigh in when defendants are hurt by long delays.
