Foreigners In Uniform

The slap that was heard around the world
Police Operations Director Lau Peet Meng is one in favour of recruiting foreigners for the Singapore Police Force (SPF). From what he says, it appears that permanent residents can currently be (and probably are already) recruited to police Singaporeans, "what kind of numbers, as an organisation and as a society, we are prepared to take in...  is something that still needs to be further deliberated on”.

Perhaps Lau should also consider what kind of foreign talent will be wearing the blue uniform. We could end up with these types of law enforcers gainfully employed at their respective domicile countries:

Rashid Rangiris, the Philippines Bureau of Immigration (BI) officer who roughhoused a female Chinese national at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 on May 5. Jiang Huixiang was barred entry into the country because she was allegedly teaching in the Philippines without required papers. A cell phone video making the internet circuit shows her being dragged along the floor by the immigration official. Next, the official is filmed shoving her with brutal force and slapping her several times before pushing her into a nearby room and out of the camera's field of view.

Ibrahim Latif, the police chief of Acheh, Indonesia, who is insisting on caning the 25-year-old widow gang raped by a group of 8 overzealous vigilantes enforcing the Shari‘a religious bylaw on sexual relations. Accusing her of adultery, the vigilantes beat up her 40-year-old partner, indulged in their own wanton lust by having their way with her, and then doused the two with sewage before turning them over to the police.

Manila is standing by their immigration officer and plans to file assault charges against the Chinese national. Indonesian Shari‘a police in Langsa plans to go ahead with the public flogging for adultery, and take care of the rapists separately in a criminal court, but not according to Shari‘a penal code.

Do we really need to integrate these bewildering administrations of justice into our legal system? The BI employee may be a good fit in the prison system, with his skill set of making the sure his victim is out of camera range before dishing out the heavy treatment. Which could explain the lack of CCTV footage of Dinesh Raman's final moments. But Lau can't be seriously thinking of implementing Shari‘a law when he said, "We need, to some extent, some sensitivity to understand our foreign population. The danger is if it’s (purely Singaporean), you will lose touch with the people you’re policing." Bringing in the foreigners is bad enough, do we have to ship in their variants of policing methods?

  1. They are quite smart: one mouth (pinkie) saying in shitty times front page "no let up on Ft quota", hidden in another column one of his minor minions then say need more FT to replaced sinkies in home team. Contradiction? Of course not la! See quota applies only to private sector. Home team is public sector, no quota. Net net, they still opening flood gate. Die die must protect GDP bonuses ma!. How to tell that to the 60% still kooning?

  2. If foreigners in blue could spell trouble, what about the foreigners in white already amongst us? As Anon 8:53 points out the public sector is the backdoor to their secret agenda.

  3. Wait until our new immigrants start to demand Sharia law in Sinmgapore.
    Under Sharia law, a thief's hand has to be amputated.

    I wonder how many of our elites will tremble at the thought.

  4. I relate a true experience with at Changi Airport. After disembarkation, my wife had to visit the loo, obviously I had to wait for her outside. Then comes this AETOS FT/PR coming to questioned me why I am "loitering" in front of the loo, which is between the door and the peoples mover of T2. Yes you are doing duty (and brainless), but so do we ( two generations) had even given our lives doing NS. If I were a ang mo tourist, he would have kissed my arse and say thank you to me. I am not proud to be a Singaporean. Its going to be a policy of pitting non Singaporean against core Singaporean. Say there is not enough Singaporean to work, then why you asked our generation to Stop at Two?

    1. I had a similar type experience.
      It's time to vote out the Traitors.

    2. Quote; "It's time to vote out the Traitors", unquote. The Traitors are the Choice of majority of Sinkies leh.

    I didn't!

    1. Hopefully these foreign talents in the SPF will use the opportunity to enrich themselves by first targeting the very wealthy on this island. It will be lucrative because majority of folks like me will assure this attitude of see no evil. hear no evil , speak no evil. LOL

  7. So you guys still think you can vote them out? Not so easy!
    Come the day face a massive electoral defeat, they would plant a few false flags, provoke to get people on the streets and then suppress dissent by using the Bahraini emirs' strategy of paying mercenary fighters from Somalia or Libya to shoot at their protesting citizens. This plan is now being quietly implemented - no debate in parliament needed - "only issue is how many" per the Ops director. Local boys in blue proven useless in Little India riots. They will be replaced by pinoy immigration brutes and JB ex-burglars who will not hesitate to chop off your hand to rob your watch. Just imagine what a thousand dollars would buy them! Little india has opened a new crisis for the old fart: if local boys won't dare to shoot rioting foreigners, will they shoot their own fellow citizens to protect the familee heirloom? What's the solution if you were old fart?

    1. "Bahraini emirs' strategy of paying mercenary fighters from Somalia or Libya to shoot at their protesting citizens.!"

      Beside, what you said there are approximately 2000 Gurkhas and families hidden nearby MT Vernon. This well-trained mercenary is headed by a Limly. Gurkha soldiers successfully quelled riots in Little India (many Sinkies didn't know it, huh?).

      This regime is not that stoopid. Recent events in Ukraine shown the American and EU used the Nazi criminals to overthrown a freely elected, corrupts groups replaced another equally corruptes regime. Now, baiting Russia to sent in forces with US and EU help.

    2. Hey,

    3. if one believes the accounts of the "Marxist" ex-detainees, thuggery will be used when needed. They will not give up that easily, if only because too many skeletons will come tumbling out.

  8. Contrary to its claims, the govt has NO shortage of workers. Heck, it has so many people it has set up a NIGHT TEAM of LTA people to patrol -- who HARRASS you at 2.30AM for parking and waiting etc....

    These people AVOID tackling those who drive Mercs, Lexuses, Audis and such, but have NO Hesitation to IMMEDIATELY drag out their booking machines if you drive such models as Toyotas, Nissans, Kias, Hyundais etc.

    See the elitism at work?

    So the rich are not only coddled in many ways, the govt avoids even fining the buggers!!! I've been seeing this so MANY times in the last few weeks. Bunch of ASSHOLES.

  9. The best part is that the police post at my neighbourhood block has no staff manning the police post but they have still have 1 HDB carpark lot specifically reserved for the absentee police car.

    They even gave me a parking summons ticket when I 'accidentally' parked my car at the absentee police carparklot

    Just like the old Chinese idiom 生人霸死地 meaning those alive still wants a piece of the land meant for the dead.

  10. Even our high school's boy scouts can do a better job than foreigners from 3rd world country on minimal wage. Might as well go roll out the red carpet for Taliban to come jiagar our PM Lee. Finally his father's dream of Disneyland theme park is coming to a neighbourhood near you. I want to say God bless this country, but I forgot God is busy fighting the LGBT ..Sigh...

  12. "suppress dissent by using the Bahraini emirs' strategy of paying mercenary fighters from Somalia or Libya to shoot at their protesting citizens."

    How about watching three videos below, real people, average folks (like you and me). No guns, no sticks or any weapons protesting against a regime place there by US and EU........ (You will never see this video on MSM).

  13. This government might as well go all the way and get FTs to do NS and reservist for all of us.

    I want to say that if the 60% continues with their support for PAP, there won't be a tomorrow for SG. Locals will mean nothing to this government. What I have seen in this govenment is contempt for its people- taking us as dills with its continued lack of accountability and transparency.

    Do not wait until you are out of a job before making plans for yourself. If this country will not defend its people, be prepared to move elsewhere.

    1. Locals will mean nothing ? We already mean almost nothing.

    2. Too late oready. PR, FT and new citizens are here to stay.

      PAP couldn't careless if you live or die. They are making millions and will continue to make even more millions. Like I say earlier, they have more than 2K Gurkhas protecting the regime, with additional reinforcement (Gurkhas) from Brunei if needed.

      I am NOT putting anyone down, if only Sinkies have just a bit of brain not voting this regime for over fifty’s year.

      No point keep wishing and hoping the next GE will change. If anyone here got any brain - think seriously emigrate. Believe me. The pastures elsewhere are no greener either.

    3. kpkb won't get us anywhere when this government continues with its policies. Don't just hope for the best at election, keep your exit doors open if you can.

    4. They are already here. I used to work in the civil service. First Malaysians worked for the civil service, then Honkies in the late 90s, they only forced them to convert to PR when these needed to be sent for overseas training courses.

      Mid to late 00s, papigs were smarter, this time when they got Sri Lankas/Indians/PRCs into the civil service, they made sure all foreigners filled up a PR application form when they're offered a job. So officially, only 'Locals' worked for the govt.

    I look forward to another video/documentary 5 years from now where it's titled "we protect this city"...Win liao lor ...the country has gone to the dogs once, and will happen again. Just like the SMRT vandalised train, it has happend 3 times now within the short 5 years. They are simply incapable of learning from the lessons.
