Cop denies sending SMS while driving
I REFER to Mr Ian Sik's letter, 'Cop sends SMS while driving' (ST,
March 4).
We have identified and interviewed the police officer whom Mr Sik
saw on Feb 24. According to the officer, who was alone in the
patrol car, he did answer a call on his mobile phone, but he was
using a hands-free kit to converse. He denied using his phone to
send or receive any SMS message.
We request Mr Sik to contact DSP Lim Cher Khin, Head
Investigations, Traffic Police, on 6547-6104 so that we can
investigate further and decide on the appropriate course of
action.
We would like to assure the public that police officers will face
the same consequences as any other motorist if they are found to
have violated any traffic rule.
We will not tolerate any of our officers acting irresponsibly and
endangering the safety of other road users.
