This policeman was diligently going around evacuating residents in Punggol after a bomb – a relic from World War II – was found at a nearby construction site.
However when he came to this Fernvale unit, the couple living there refused to open the door despite him identifying himself.
And instead of clarifying with the police whether or not this was a real cop and not some scammer, the know-it-all couple decided that posting pictures of the policeman on Facebook with snide remarks was the best way to warn people about this “mata cheat.
From the screengrabs of the CCTV installed outside the couple’s home, you can see that the policeman is frantically trying to identify himself.
It was already past 1 in the morning, and he had taken the stairs to make sure that every unit of residents was evacuated.
Even after the couple was proven wrong – that the cop and the incident were real – they still insisted that their judgment was spot on.
In the event of a real emergency, perhaps the cops should save the trouble and just send out a Facebook message?
Or is this a sign that people would rather die in a bomb blast than trust the police?

How stupid are the couple , im pretty sure ,that our singapore police force has evolved . And im also sure that this couple hasnt been watching the news recently . The Hometeam officers are doing their part to safeguard our nation , so might as well , cooperate wif the officers . They know their job well more than we citizens do.

Perhaps Police should skip this unit next time another bomb comes up

Shame on those who do not know how to react to situation and speak to real/false officers across a metal door. No one will pity them if they have anything happen to them. Even if they called for police for help in future, they also cannot make sure which is which. Thumbs down pea brain !

The new community policing attire is still not well known.
Police can do more public education on the new attire.
Or go such rounds in normal uniform.

you’ll find our Community Policing Officers (CPO) zipping around on Trek bikes or on foot in polo tees and bermudas, conducting patrols or simply chatting with people. They are the new face of the Singapore Police Force – familiar and trusted faces in the community striving to stay closer to the people they are protecting, while fully equipped and trained to respond to crime, investigate, and make arrests.

Well, my 2 cents worth, I think it would be best to let this dumbshit couple die in a bomb blast if it turned out to be a real bomb, coz hey, it’ll be nice to improve the human race through natural selection…
