All I can say is that Singapore is really NOT a place for car lovers. Beside the ultra high vehicle taxes and ownership cost, car meetups also need a Police Permit?! So should our police demand the same for those cyclists who get together every weekend in big group, posing hazards and risk to other road users?? Police warns organisers of convoy gatherings to abandon plans; 5 men under investigation The police said they are aware of planned gatherings of vehicles to travel in a convoy at various locations over the long weekend They warned that doing so is an offence punishable with fine or jail, or both They said that five men are under investigation for organising two convoy gatherings last week They are also looking into a meet up of car enthusiasts last week at an open air carpark at Decathlon Kallang The police said on Monday (May 2) they are aware of planned gatherings for vehicles to travel in a convoy at various locations over the long weekend, warning that doing so is an offence that could land the organisers in jail. In a statement, the police said it is investigating two incidents last week in which vehicles were driven in a convoy. The authorities are also looking into a third incident involving a gathering of car enthusiasts at an open air carpark in Kallang. Five men, aged between 22 and 26, have been identified as organisers of the convoy events, though the police did not reveal their names. They are now under investigation for “conducting an event on the road or part thereof without a permit”, the police said. “The police would like to remind the public that conducting an event on any road or part thereof without a police permit is illegal in Singapore and we will not hesitate to take firm action against those who choose to flout our laws,” it said. Under the Road Traffic Act, any person convicted of conducting any event on any road could be fined S$1,000 or jailed up to three months, or both. Repeat offenders are liable for double the punishment — a S$2,000 fine or up to six months’ jail, or both.

Cheers to Mr. Jonathan for going viral Cheers to your dream come true Cheers to the start of your new career as a TikToker Cheers for making a fool of yourself in a series of 5 videos Cheers to Cheers Singapore for not defending Mr TikToker Jonathan. On a side note, I scrolled through his TikTok account and found many SPF-related videos, most of which portraying SPF in a negative light. It's no surprise he jumped on the occasion to create a scene with our police force when the opportunity arose. Looks to be anti-Singapore Police Force/Anti-Government/PAP lol. For your midweek entertainment. Cheers to the first joker of 2023!

Well done SPF! Interestingly, I saw this comment on Facebook about concerns that the Police Officer should have drawn his taser instead because he could have missed his shot and hurt someone else. 🥴

TL;DR - A Hyundai Tucson reverses into a stationary car at the traffic lights along Esplanade Drive. Plot twist; the Tucson is a Singapore Police Force vehicle. A video of a Singapore Police Force Hyundai Tucson reversing into another car has surfaced on SGRV’s Facebook page. Since its posting around midnight, it has garnered a whopping 203 shares. Watch the 53-second video here: What happening? Image: Hyundai.com.sg The driver of the latest Police fast response Hyundai Tucson does a serious booboo. As mentioned earlier, the cam car and the Tucson stop at a traffic light. However, in a strange turn of events, the Tucson reverses and hits the front of the cam car. I think the Police officer wanted to turn right instead of going straight and did not check his blind spots or rear-view mirror. Does this place look familiar? If you’re unsure of where this takes place, here’s a rough idea of where I think this incident happened. It should be at this junction highlighted above. Another interesting thing After the ‘collision’, the red and blue lights on the Police vehicle suddenly light up. Not sure why. Pretty strange. But one Netizen had a theory. Online Chatter Let’s look at other interesting comments. These comments don’t fail to disappoint. Well, suffice to say, the Police Officer is definitely BBQ-le. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

Sad to say, road rage is a pretty common occurrence in Singapore, which takes on many forms such as tailgating, shouting or angry honking. Watch this road rage incident that involved two men exchanging fists here: (Disclaimer: Lots of shouting and vulgarities, so adjust your volume accordingly, if required) This incident allegedly occurred along Edgedale Plains, involving the drivers of the camcar and the Audi Q7. Exchanging of fists It is unknown what exactly took place that led to the altercation between both drivers. Both men started exchanging fists within the first 10 seconds of the video, with countless vulgarities spewed. Police had to intervene to stop the altercation from escalating. Despite returning to the car, the camcar driver's significant other continued to taunt the Q7 driver by shouting rudely and making vulgar hand signs at him. The video ends shortly after, with the same lady shouting xenophobic remarks at the Q7 driver. Vulgarity count Here's a tally of the number of vulgarities used in the video: B*st@#d - 9 CB -9 F@#ker - 11 LJ - 1 Netizens' comments Imagine the number of times I had to watch this video to write this blog post... The number of offences committed in this video is too damn high! The gif below sums up my thoughts: I laughed my ass off at this comment. And somehow I read this comment in David Attenborough's voice. P.S. Please lah guys, next time just avoid such altercations. The world is already stressful as it is, especially with the pandemic around😩 Update: Both men are currently assisting with police investigations into a case of affray. --- Thinking of selling your car? sgCarMart Quotz guarantees the highest selling price for your car.

TOC's Facebook page: FULL STATEMENT RELEASED BY SPF https://mothership.sg/2021/06/toc-police-custody-allegations/ In a nearly 30-minute video uploaded to YouTube on June 28, See claimed the following: He was held in the police lock-up for longer than necessary; The police had assigned him to a padded cell and he was alone inside, even though he had mentioned that he had claustrophobia; The police had pinned him down and used excessive force in moving him into the padded cell, and he had sustained injuries as a result; The police had ignored his request to use the toilet and he ended up urinating inside his cell; No food was given to him; The police had refused to let him call his family members; The medical personnel at the lock-up had ignored his concerns on his high heart rate; and His car was returned to him only after a long time. BACK STORY See had failed a breathalyser test conducted at a police roadblock along Boon Keng Road on Feb. 14 last year at around 3:40am, and was subsequently arrested. He was then brought back to the lock-up facility at Police Cantonment Complex at about 4am where he was processed for detention while pending the conduct of a further breath analyser test via the Breath Evidential Analyser (BEA) machine. According to the police, See was attended to by Nursing Officers at the lock-up on two occasions, and he was assessed to be fit for detention. At about 4:40am, See passed the BEA test after a few attempts, with a recorded result of 31 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath. The amount was just below the legal limit of 35 micrograms of alcohol in 100 ml of breath. In their statement, the police said that because See had failed his initial breath analyser test at the police road block and was legally arrested, he was processed in accordance with the rules for persons arrested and brought into police custody. The police are thus required to: Conduct a search on him; Verify his identity; Conduct a medical examination and assess his condition to determine whether he was fit for detention; Register his property; among others. An Investigation Officer (IO) in charge of See’s case also checked if See had other pending traffic or police cases, if he owned the car that he drove, as well as the validity of his driving licence and vehicle insurance. While in custody, See was brought to wait in a temporary holding area, which the police said was a large room with transparent panels that overlook the common corridor. He was there in between his BEA test attempts and other required processes. After See had completed his BEA test attempts, he was escorted to another temporary holding area to await the processing of his release, pending confirmation that he was not required for further investigations. However, the police said that See had refused to enter the temporary holding area, and that he claimed he was "claustrophobic and would harm himself if put into the temporary holding area again". According to the police, See had insisted on waiting along a common corridor. Officers then explained to See that he could not wait there as he would affect the movement of people along the corridor, including other persons-in-custody. However, See refused to move, continued to disregard officers’ repeated instructions to move into the temporary holding area, and warned them that he might cause harm to himself. The police then decided to transfer See to a padded cell instead, using a wheelchair. The decision was taken in view of his threat and out of concern for his safety, the police added. However, See continued to put up "a strong resistance" entering the padded cell, and "struggled with officers". Following refusal to comply with officers' instructions, they had to "apply necessary force to physically move him into the padded cell", the police said. Breakfast wasn't served to him as he was sleeping According to the police statement, See requested to use the toilet at about 6am. Police then made arrangements for more officers to escort See to the toilet due to his struggle earlier. As See appeared to be sleeping when officers entered his cell, they did not wake him. Previously, See was allowed to use the toilet at about 4:30am and 4:55am, the police said. At around 6:25am when breakfast was given, an officer then checked on See and found him to still be asleep, which was why breakfast was not served to him. With regards to See's claim that he was not allowed to call his family, the police said that they did not find any records of See’s request to make any phone calls. CCTV footage doesn't show See exhibiting discomfort when he left Additionally, the police said CCTV footage had not showed any signs of See limping or exhibiting discomfort when he eventually left the padded cell. He was able to walk normally and was escorted by officers, they added. See was released unconditionally from police custody at about 7:40am on the same day, which was around four hours after his arrest. He was told to collect his vehicle later in the evening for safety considerations. In their statement, the police highlighted that they do not typically release vehicles back to persons arrested for drink-driving straight after their release from custody as they may still have alcohol in their body. This could affect their faculties and cause them to pose a risk to themselves and other road users if they are allowed to operate the vehicle too soon. See subsequently collected his vehicle on the night of Feb. 14. Minor injuries sustained by See "consistent" with struggles he put up The police revealed that shortly after his release, See lodged a complaint, and wrote in to provide his feedback on his custodial experience. The police asked See to seek medical assessment following his complaint. The medical form provided by See indicated that he had sustained some minor injuries, which included abrasions on his right knee, and a 2cm laceration on his right knee. The police said that these injuries "appeared to be consistent with the struggles he put up when officers attempted to place him inside the padded cell". Police found no wrongdoing The police also said that following internal investigations, including reviewing the CCTV recordings, they did not find any abuse or wrongdoing. These findings were conveyed to See in June 2020. See then wrote in again one year later, on June 2, to enquire about this case. Although the police had tried to contact him on two separate occasions, and offered to arrange a further interview with him to hear his concerns, he declined to be interviewed. Second malicious attempt by TOC to smear our police force. First being the accusations of police officers allegedly bullying an old lady for not wearing mask. It's not too difficult to see that there is a political agenda behind this. You can be against the government but the police force are the ones protecting the citizens of this country. Granted, you got scratched while putting up a struggle after getting arrested for failing a breathalyzer test. No sheetz I get scratched even worse after "playing" with cats lol. 😵

Source: https://mothership.sg/2021/06/singapore-police-pistols-revolvers/ The Singapore Police Force (SPF) is switching firearms by replacing the fuss-free and trusty Taurus M85 revolver with the Glock 19 Gen 5 pistol that packs more heat. SPF confirmed on June 22, 2021 its frontline officers will be using the new weapon soon. The Taurus revolver has been issued to frontliners for the past 19 years. News of the replacement is not new and has been reported since 2017. But the swap is now confirmed. SPF said on its website that officers have been progressively trained to use service pistols due to the "heightened security climate". This has been ongoing since 2017. All frontline regulars will be trained to operate the Glock 19 Gen 5 pistol by the end of 2023, according to the SPF. More rounds One functional different between the two handguns is that the pistol can hold more bullets than the revolver. This would have a bearing on its intended use. SPF added on Tuesday that the Glock 19 Gen 5 pistol can be loaded with three times more rounds compared to the Taurus M85 revolver. SPF said: "This reduces reloading time, improves firepower and further augments the SPF's ability to engage armed attackers in dealing with security threats." In 2017, The Firearm Blog wrote that Glock will supply 6,000 new pistols to the SPF. Revolver has sufficed for two decades The Brazilian-made Taurus M85 revolver has been in use since 2002. Before that, the SPF was using the Smith & Wesson revolver. The Taurus M85 revolver can hold five rounds, and has a speed loader to reload the weapon faster and with less effort. It is intended to be used on targets nearer than 5m. A revolver is easier to operate as it can be fired the moment the bullets are loaded. Pistol has more rounds but requires racking While a revolver has a revolving cylinder, a pistol loads rounds via a removable magazine. The Glock 19 Gen 5 9mm pistol's magazine has a standard capacity of 15 rounds. However, a pistol involves racking the slide before firing, which is an extra step that can be cumbersome during high-stress situations. Racking the slide ensures the round is loading into the chamber of the pistol. Racking the slide when the round is already loaded results in the unused round being ejected. The pistol can be used with different grip methods, SPF also said on its website. A safety mechanism on the pistol prevents accidental misfiring.

5 minutes of shouting match So many never wear mask also Spf please arrest all of them I think for such cases Spf should get all to wear their mask first. Non compliance all arrest and send to lockup + fine Something must be done to protect our police offers

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/police-shooting-balestier-suspect-attacked-officer-nov-5- SINGAPORE: A man was shot by a police officer during a raid on a residential unit along Balestier Road on Thursday (Nov 5), the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said. Three plainclothes officers entered the unit at City Suites condominiumat about 1am on Thursday as part of operations to track down suspects involved in a series of cheating cases. Four people were in the flat: A 36-year-old man, a 22-year-old man, a 33-year-old woman and a 23-year-old woman. Preliminary investigations showed that while the officers were in the unit, the 36-year-old man “suddenly lunged” at one of the officers and attacked him repeatedly, causing the officer to fall on the floor bleeding from the face, SPF said. A second officer warned the man to stop the assault but he did not. The 22-year-old man was then seen approaching the officer who was attacked, and the second police officer “assessed” that he would join the older man in assaulting the police officer. “Concerned with the safety of his partner, the second officer immediately drew his revolver and warned the (36-year-old man) to stop his assault,” said the police in a news release. The man did not comply with the warning and continued to hit the officer on the floor. Suddenly, he rushed towards the second officer and grabbed his revolver, said SPF. The 22-year-old man then assaulted the first officer, the police added. During the brawl, the second officer “discharged one round” from his revolver at the 36-year-old man. “This did not immediately stop (the 36-year-old man) from his attempt to snatch the second officer’s revolver and the struggle continued," said SPF. Both men were eventually subdued by backup officers who later arrived at the unit. The 36-year-old man sustained a gunshot wound to his abdomen and was attended to by paramedics before he was taken conscious to hospital. He is currently in a stable condition, SPF said. Two police officers were injured. The first sustained injuries to his face and arm, while the second officer sustained injuries to his hands and lips. The third officer attended to the suspect. The first and second officers felt their lives were under threat, Assistant Commissioner of Police Cheong Chee Ming, who is Tanglin Division commander, said during a press conference on Thursday. As a matter of protocol, the Special Investigation Section is investigating the officer’s discharge of the firearm.

ComfortDelgro Taxi With Cameras Isn’t Traffic Police Car, SPF Says It’s For Driver’s Training source: https://mustsharenews.com/comfortdelgro-taxi-cameras/ ComfortDelgro Taxi With Cameras On Hood Isn’t A Traffic Police Vehicle Cameras in public spaces tend to carry connotations of surveillance, and several atop a ComfortDelgro taxi are no different. A picture of such a taxi made its rounds on messaging platforms recently, with people suspecting that it could be a Traffic Police car. The Singapore Police Force (SPF), however, has come forward to debunk the rumours today (16 Sep). So if your uncles and aunties have been spreading the fake news, do let them know. ComfortDelgro taxi with cameras not Traffic Police car Photos of a taxi with several cameras attached to its body started circulating online and on messaging platforms recently. Perhaps noticing the unusual sight of the very visible cameras, some netizens came to their own conclusions that it was a Traffic Police vehicle in disguise. Word spread quickly, and soon the rumours reached the police, who promptly denied the inaccurate information. Taxi is used for training purposes Hoping to stop the fake news from spreading, SPF got in touch with ComfortDelgro Taxi to clarify the purpose of the cameras. The company then explained that the equipment is a temporary installment solely for training purposes. The public thus has no cause for concern if they spot a ComfortDelgro taxi with similar fittings on the road. Be careful of fake news After the spread of the messages, SPF advised members of the public to be more cautious of unverified information. Since they circulate online indiscriminately these days, they may lead many to believe in false accounts. Therefore, we should remember to check the validity of our sources before sharing information, to avoid spreading fake news. Share this advisory with your family, so they’ll keep it in mind before spreading unverified information to others.

Summit haven started already so happening! TWO SOUTH KOREAN MEDIA PERSONNEL ARRESTED FOR CRIMINAL TRESPASS On 7 June 2018 at about 3.50pm, the Police received a report of a case of criminal trespass into the residence of the Ambassador of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Two South Korean men, aged 42 and 45, who were representing the Korean Broadcasting System News, were arrested in relation to the case. One 31-year-old South Korean man, who was representing the Korean Broadcasting System News, is under investigations. Another 29-year-old South Korean man, who was the guide and interpreter for the group, is also under investigations. The three men who were representing the Korean Broadcasting System News are not accredited media personnel in Singapore. Police investigations are ongoing. Anyone convicted of criminal trespass under Section 447 of the Penal Code, Chapter 224, may be punished with imprisonment of up to three months, or a fine of up to $1,500, or both. The Police would like to remind all foreigners visiting Singapore to abide by our laws. Those who break the law will be dealt with firmly, and this may include termination of visas and repatriation. Members of the media who commit any offence in Singapore will also not be accredited and thus will not be able to cover the Summit between the United States of America and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. http://www.facebook.com/singaporepoliceforce/posts/10157537022909408
