houndy SG

well eating is important... if we know when the robberies and fight is committed... there wont be a need for extra manpower... Very Happy

huaiwei SG

chunyong SG

SOs got too much, POs i not so sure though but i won't sign on PO cos of some new 'ceiling' rule dat is invisibly applied to ALL JOs, be it u join now or is lau jiao....sigh.....alot of hopes are dashed, my friend told me alot of stuff a week or so ago......

but IF, IF and only IF, i sign on, i will be SO but dat will be my last path i will take when i graduate.

Police work's that bad meh? Should be more interesting than army la...

btw, what's this 'ceiling' rule? Can junior officers be promoted to the senior officer ranks? Or like SAF max out as a top NCO (SI)?

kakashi84 SG

That link i provided is for police officer,diploma holders.so any police wannabe can jolly well forget abt joining the police.maybe after next year

Buy food very common mah, i've seen a few times already POs park their police car at a coffeeshop in paya lebar area near my house then go inside and eat lunch...

I dont see you when i see them having good arrest rather then typing your comments here? =)

brother.... if fights and robberies can be expected, i dont see when do the govt want to set up a police force in the first place? cheers... Mr. Green

they are a bunch of people trying their level best..... they might not deserved good words from you, but they dont deserved words like what you have just said above..

to be frank... we all are taxpayers... hahaha... maybe post more suggestions on speaker corner to see how can the govt improve in years to come?

go to seah im bus interchange whr the hawker centre is... every lunch time DAILY... a patrol car will ABUSE ITS AUTHORITY n park ILLEGALLY at the area next to whr the sentosa bus bays are.

this is a BUS interchange oni BUSSES n vehicles who have OFFICIAL BUSINESS can enter. Even for those who are on official business, ther is a proper lot for them to park which the cops NEVER USE.

bout 2 - 3 cops in uniform will waltz out n go tah pau lunch from the hawker centre....

if they r officially on duty patroling the area or attending to a call i wldnt find it an eyesore.

skeujin SG

bruddha, u make a rebuttle sound good. spoken like a true SPF PR Spokesperson.... Laughing

i dnt expect them to b psychic, but hey, honestly mayb its all down to jus bad scheduling of duty n patrol hours.... so i guess i shdnt blame the grunts.

n ps. if u knw any of the guys who are on duty at tuas checkpoint. tell them to take a lesson from the gurkas n task force guys n hav a little respect for their uniforms... they always luk like they jus woke up from a nap in the backroom...

n btw... its not tt i wana make them luk bad. or i wana make false accusation. its n outright fact tt many do not dare to bring up or speak in public about. too bad tt a few rotten apples have tarnished my concept of their image. Wink

peace

Eh... i pay tax also..that means i pay my own salary??

houndy SG

Well you want to park in the bus interchange too??? well being there is also considered patrolling.. foot patrol...as for packing of lunch.. we work 12 hours one shift.. i think we are humans and must eat.. dont you people have lunch time too...

anfuni SG

hahah.... brother pi piak kio,

me is no spokesperson..... lol.... just voicing out like another singaporean... different kind of duties have difference kind of working pattern, that includes lunch too... they are human too.... as for parking might be given "approval" by sbs transit.... usually.... i will advice people to send it "feedbacks" to SDI in PHQ if they wanna complain.... trust me, i cant find anything in the Police Force Act that stop officers from eating in public(which i used to see last time)... and now i only see them buying food and disappear(must be due to alotsa complain).... quite sad.... cos usually with policeman around there are certain deterrence in terms of their presence....

i do agree that there might be some rotten apples that have tarnished SPF image, and the organisation itself is also trying hard(as i can see in the newspapers) to "spot them out".... but i do found out that its not only exist in SPF, organisation like SAF are also affected.... i donno which era you are from... but i do witness myself those days when both SPF and SAF officers starch their uniforms and behave smartly with full respect to their uniforms... but nowadays, even i can see "smart 4" are no longer that smart as worn by some officer... its quite sad but true.... even nowdays uniform group in schools are "not up to standard" as those days.... i believe you get what i mean.... Mr. Green

i do personally heard from friends that they received those kind of poor "service" render by some officers and i believe you had some how or rather did encounter the same thing too?

i usually give them the benefit of doubts as i sees them as human which i believe this is what most Singaporean do too..... perhaps things like driving unsafe and smoking in uniform etc will make me lose faith in them....

cheers Mr. Green

p.s. about the taxpayer phrase... keke... can you believe i heard "hey i pay tax one also leh" from a member of public talking to a policeman a few days back.... and that member of public seems like thinking they are more "superior" and policeman are 2nd class citizen.. *sigh* what a society i am living in... Neutral

Ranting is one thing....voicing out your opinions to the right channel, and pin-pointing the correct target is just as important. As they say...if you take offence with matas having to buy lunch, perhaps you would like to volunteer to cater for all POs in the Republic of Singapore (and give them the options of choosing what they want to eat for each meal) to their respective police posts/centres, so that they dont have to do their sneaky craft which you detest?

You seem to take personal offence with mata chias parking in bus interchanges. Well fine. Why not have them park at normal parking lots which u guys are all jostling to park in, and tell if you are going to stop cursing them too? Wink

Finally, you refered to some "guys" at Tuas checkpoint. May I know exactly WHO you are talking about, because there are like at least 3 organisations providing uniformed security personnel there?

plain_queen SG

this application for police officer has open.

houndy SG

I wont mind telling the complt i pay taxes too.. hahaha.. anyway just to say a point... might be long winded...

People tend to find fault cause as police we are law enforcers.. we follow the book.. we might be flexible but to a certain extend.. as many people wont know the law.. they think what they do is always correct and others is always wrong.. so to be spotchecked or questioned by an officer.. they think they are begin suspected as crooks.. but then how we know one is a crook until we check on them.. many people are actually wanted for petty things which they might not know.. like failing to attend court or missing an invesitagtion...

Speeding is always a good complain. Police car speeding. But then how would one know if the car is attending to an emergency.. people are plain selfish.. they only think of themself.. that is why.. they dont know the head or tail, they just see the middle. Then the worse i heard was people actually complaining that TRAFFIC POLICE is going over the speed limit on the expressway.. HELLO, if TP dont go faster than you, how will they ever catch a speeder by travelling at 90KM.. it is like so DUH....

Then what is wrong with officers buying food, like i say we are also human. You people are also human, and sitting in office well dont need much energy. No need for lunch i suppose.. hmm... Also in a country where you can sleep peacefully or even go out at night.. it aint that bad right...

skeujin SG

to all u police guys replyg my post....

READ my previous post CAREFULLY.....

im not complaining about them buyg food. they are human, they have to eat. go ahead n buy, i dont care.

im bringing up the issue of them abusing their authority by parkg in n area where no one permitted to park.

duh... cant read simple english. n i even highlighted parts of it for simpler reading.

skeujin SG

n btw there is acutually 2 carparks adjacent to the hawker centre of which they can but dont use....

for the benefit of those who dont know where or what im toking about but wana add in their 2cts worth....
