yes. I know it's an offence and yes, i know it warrants an
arrest. But look and compare the magnitude and seriousness of the
crime to let's say, murder or robbery + assault. On a scale of one
to ten - gambling probably would be ranked 1 or 2 (it causes no
harm to others), and murder with a 9,10, robbery + assault maybe an
8 or 9.
And as I said, that mofo PO could simply give a warning, but he
arrested a whole bunch of elderly, sent 'em to the police station,
made them stay in that f*ckin' cold and empty lockup for 6, 7
f*ckin' hours (evening/night), giving them only some cheapo expired
bread and packet drink, so what the f*ck do you think this is?
Of course, I won't be so mean or malicious as to curse his own
mom/grandma to be dead or whatsoever. Plus, it is not making a
sweeping statement, or having a brush to paint them all.
There were other few occasions when my grandma got robbed in the
lift lobby, and my aunt got robbed at knife-point, and till now
after 10 over years, they're still unable to catch the robbers. Of
course, this case has been over for so long, obviously do you think
the police would give a flying f*ck?
And yeah, probably these cases are too minor to be put up in the
media, only then would the police seriously look into it i
guess.
You would think I have anti-police sentiments, but I've lost
faith in them. Fancy commiting a grave error in letting a
f*ckin' Muslim SOB terrorist Mas Selamat Kastari escape and
now he's on the run, nowhere to be found.
Zou si mi lj? Don't gimme the crap that the police are so
f*ckin' great! Most of them would be sitting in the coffeeshop
sipping their economical coffee, slacking their time away. Then
when they're not on patrol (or rather show off their pathetic
rank), they would be back at the station doing wretched menial
paperwork like a no-lifer with a pitiable salary. WOW!

dear trendz,
i have to say that i feel for you. My own family members
were arrested before and i understand how you feels.... you
do have your point there.... but wait....
gambling is not serious? or did i get your words wrong, please
pardon me if i did...
"greed is the root of the cause" - gambling can results in alot
of things that a gambler cant imagine unless they realise that its
wrong and choose to stop..... saw the ad on TV where this "father"
told his daughter that "its going to be the last time?" he wants
her to break her piggy bank and let him have a "comeback" so he
will stop it once and for all... who suffers? end of the day,
the family members will suffer...
of cos i have to admit, old folks gamble to past time...
but does they need to involve with money? its a bad example to
youths and will lead them thinking that gambling is nothing
wrong... I also noticed that there is a raising trend of
singaporean playing mahjong.... issit becos we are being expose to
more gambling environment ( i.e. movies, games, old folks playing
at void deck ) or we simply doesnt know that gambling is bad for
one?
we are citizens of singapore and we have to obey our own country
law... if no one enforce it, then there will be no law and
order.... "look around us" as what stated by one of the forumites,
we are indeed better then other country around us... but of
cos, there is still room for improvement.... remember, "low crime
doesnt mean no crime"... hey i like this banner of all i have seen
by the SPF....
Perhaps police can do their part better in your "grandma being
robbed" case.... I have to agree... only recently I saw those
signs stating of the crime happen at the location and appeal for
witnesses... how i wish such ideas have came up long ago...
at least its kinda "enable public awareness" and also for those who
always "claimed" that they wanted to help but does not know the
right number to call to.... I do hope there will be witnesses to
stand up for your grandma case or maybe police can find important
leads to the case so your grandma or you can get the reply after 10
years~ =)
i remember my kampong days, where everyone is so close and
friendly... we would dare to leave our door open and not
worrying of anything being stolen.... what happen now? our
neighbours unit are either not in (busy working and substaining
s'pore standard of living) or choose to enjoy in their own cosy
home (where all windows and doors are closed)..... unless the same
"generation" happens to be staying at the same level (kids studying
pri, sec etc or all young parents or all old folks etc etc) or else
its like everyone is living in their own world.... where is
all the friendliness we use to have, i really miss it.... even WiFi
also have to steal.... where have all our "willingly to share" and
"looking for each other's back" attitude gone to?
well.... i understand you have lost faith in them just like some
of our citizens.... but wait... MSK? did my english fail me
or i get the wrong facts? MSK is an error committed by ISD
and to my own knowledge, police is assisting in investigation as
stated in news.... did MSK escape from a police establishment? can
anyone correct me on this? well.... i have seen alot
nowadays.... MHA staffs are being deployed everywhere.... i
see SCDF officers at customs!!!! oh my god... i
believe when MSK escape, police did quite a good and fast job to
narrow down and search for him... thou there is still no news of
him.... you should have come to my work place man....
for the first few days, i got so fed up sending my niece to school
and to be stuck in a slow moving traffic due to the intensive
search.... well.... maybe there might be dark clouds casting
over MHA now.... i do hope they can think and work fast to win back
public confident.... i admit my confident did rocked
abit... but after some observation, i believe i still
have faith in them to provide security to our country....
lastly, i do hope they can sit down at coffeeshop for coffee you
know... so i can ask them questions rather then always trying hard
to catch them while they are in their police vehicle patrolling....
i do think their pay is pathetic as i ask my friend in there and
got a surprise of what kind of pay they are getting compare to
me..... perhaps something should be done.... as what have
claimed by another forumite that the turnover rate there is
high.... someone have to do their paper work!!!! and
let them patrol our streets more efficiently.....
