before that, there's an article on how the police are
over-stretched .....
BUT still maintains a low crime rate as well .... 
apparently, we have one of the lowest police to citizens ratio
in the developed world ...
you know what I think ? ....
low crime rate cos many petty criminals are not caught ....
assault cases are not a sizeable offense in Singapore (
), while if you hit anyone in a western
country, even if it's a pub fight, you're going into the brig .....
here, you file a complaint in civil court ....
go to marina or boat quay late at night, and see the young punks
hammering and smashing at each other .....
nevermind mas selamat .... low crime rate ? ... remember when
neighbourhood police posts used to be 24 hours ? .....
Yeah... yesterday, we had to get off the tram because some old
drunk bloke in the tram before mine had accosted two ladies on
board and two police cars drove by to arrest the lao drunk.
I went up intending to offer any
medical assistance if necessary but all looked well except the
younger lady was crying and a bit shaken, so I walked on
by.
Just because of that, the ENTIRE lane of traffic came to a
standstill for about 20 mins.
You mean, neighbourhood police posts are no longer 24
hours?!!
