Spies in S'pore police force

The Star/Asia News Network

 

 

 

China Press reported that Ah Long groups in Singapore had planted spies in the police force to snoop on the force's activities.

 

The daily quoted Singapore Commissioner of Police Khoo Boon Hui as saying that such groups would spend years training the spies by sending them to law school before they join the force.

A repeat of the HK movie Infernal Affairs in local context.

Local criminals are now smart enough to infritrate the police force instead of only the police force sending spies in.

 

Wonder how will they root out these "spies" on both sides.

SPF will engage Andy Lau as consultant and Ah Long groups will consult Tony Leung for advice

Why would China Press be reporting an unsubstianted report on SPF? If the Commissioner did say such a thing, it will make local headlines first, if he even says it at all. By the way things go in SPF, it is unlikely to be released or at least, until the perpretrators are caught. Least that they be warned.

 

I will find the report dubious at best.

i never knew it was so easy to get into law school. do the gangs go around the top JCs in Singapore recruiting their spies and offer them a scholarship ala the SAF and SPF?

1. Why do you need law school graduates when some poly diploma will suffice?

2. Law school graduates won't waste time with such nonsense and if the gangsters had the motivation to study for law school, they wouldn't be gangsters in the first place.

[Altivo]

i think the Police Commisioner's reply was taken out of context by this Cheena Press

[Sw20]

We already have undercover police working inside "gangs"......

Now the question would be... who are they working for at the end of the day?

 

How would they get tips on how and when drugs are gonna enter SG?

these are not those rough and ah beng gangsters la.... not all gang members are ah bengs. they could be any white collar banker, executive or professional holding a middle position. they could be your neighbour or the nice man at church.

 

if one goes to law school then enters the SPF, he/she will be in a high enough rank to control things internally.

 

why do they do it? mainly hot and big money deposited in offshore accounts, more than they could ever earn, short of being the police commissioner or big law firm equity partner.

 

in japan, the yakuza send bright promising students to study acct and finance, then gets them to join investment banks and firms. This is not new. a lot of the financial markets in Japan, HK, China, even on Wall Street are controlled by triad or mafia... it is well known.. it is always attractive to earn big money on the side, in addition to your regular pay, i guess.

 

even in singapore, a lot of the money these bookies and loan sharks collect are invested into financial markets to earn them more money... and the investment is of course not done by the ruffians but rather the smooth educated type who hold middle positions in the triad society, their day jobs could be traders or executives.

 

don't ask me how i know boss... just saying it like it is.

You're too naive.

 

There are tonnes of stuff that the local media do not report. Grow up, wake up. Before its too late.

haha actually just get govt scholarship and then join SPF, very fast climb rank. dun even need training for years in law school or what top school. but must know how to study so you can get the scholarship and then must obtain first class honours!

from triad point of view, they won't want these kind of high profile people to work for them. they want someone who is high enough position but also low profile, almost invisible but has good access to classified files and intelligence.

[Zyrofillica]

so u are triad member ah? u see all the anti vice squads, CNB and SSB. All one look you will mistake for ah beng one. Same kind just different organization. i think quite easy for ah beng to fit in as long as he gets cleared for employment. anyway, its true you wont need a scholar to get those kind of info, but hey, having your pple in high places always helps
