“I called the police again and reported the incident and the
exchange,
A guy from Jurong HQ called me to say the IO in charge will contact
us.
I waited up the whole night for someone to come or call me –
Nothing.”
I came across this blog about how loan sharks managed to
repeatedly harass a family after the government announced tougher
measures against loan sharks in the Straits Times. The police, it
seems, were ‘helpless’ to do anything. Even something as simple as
returning a phone call to the victim seemed to cause them great
difficulties.
So what are our police doing? Too busy guarding Chee Soon Juan
in Changi?
We know the police are not complacent! There’s a few incidents I
can remember…
1) They had more than a dozen armed police officers standing
sentry all night long over CSJ when he was
doing that peaceful protest at Hong Lim….
2) They deployed CID officers (I saw 3-4
in a picture taken by eyewitness), had a couple of police vans and
dozen odd officers just to stop one small group of peaceful
protesters. And those matas turned up within a minute of the
TBT group setting off from Parliament
House.
3) During the filming of One Nation, some officers from
MDA turned up to confiscate the film
WITHOUT anyone notifying them. Sixth sense?
And when they needed backup, CID officers
turned up within minutes.
4) The matas deployed 2 big ‘ang chias’ just to catch some
otakus playing with their action figures in a park…
So if they are not complacent, they must have misplaced their
priorities!

If Ms. Tan wishes for prompt police response and attention to
the case, maybe she could erm… tell the I.O in charge that the
‘loan sharks’ look like CSJ and SDP members. Then she will surely have a team of high
ranking police officers stationed round her flat 24/7… And the
culprits harressing her would be caught in no time at all!
