Plainclothes is the best. Can eat snake comfortably. Boss ask when you are absent, just tell him meeting informer for a good case. Wake up late report to work, tell boss last night solid intel.

Never did plainclothes before. Seldom do they give PNS plainclothed duties. :(

But the old PA still standing. I still see police recruits coming out from there.

I think they are CISCO chaps undergoing training there. Other auxillary police may be there too - SATs, AETOS etc.

That place brings back good old memories. Me and a few buddies almost cried after POP and packing to leave on posting out. But we're not surprised Mas Selamat managed to take off from the ISD DC just opposite. We ocassionally took off for private barber haircuts and nights out drinking easily too (yeah, yeah, technically AWOL), but always coming back in time.

Was told the HTA is very on-the-ball. Stay-in means stay-in. No Ho Chih Minh trail there for trainees unlike PA.

Yes, it brings back fond memories. There were a few WPC trainees then who were quite chio. The makan under the flyover was simply the best.

Never seen or been to the new HTA Tracom before. The old Whitley flyover HC was no horse run. Chinese prawn mee, fishball mee and Indian mutton chop all no horse run. On paydays we could also eat crab.

I can understand. NS men makan crabs on payday. Tanchiaks eat crab no problem. Need not wait for pay day. Make a phone call to aduans and they will rush to meet up and foot the bill then drive us to nightclubs.

PNS sometimes kena arrowed for plainclothes duty which usually involved raid pertaining to VCDs, IIs, common gaming houses, counterfeit goods etc.

Im from 93rd intake and PCG that was based in Kallang.
I can personally tell you that the "sun, the sand and the sea" tagline belongs to the Coast Guard, not the Navy.

Regretted not signing up regular.

I did plainclothes duty as NS, VIP Security duty for some Royal that came. At Mandarin Orchard if i remember correctly.
I had to work extra 10 days for the two weeks or so (PCG shift work is only 4-day week), and therefore my team commander gave me permission to reimburse my extra work days to leave. I therefore had a lot more leave to clear than my other NS mates when time was up.

Carrying ankle holster was a hassle. But it was an experience.
Haiz, those were the days.

During my time, there's always a plainclothes special car usually with two regulars and two PNS SCs. This and all those abovementioned are still roostered shift deployments. Have to draw arms and send arms after shift and not much chance to skive during the shift. Only the AIOs, IOs and detectives are issued personal arms and go around 24 hours anywhere they like as long as they get their cases done or can come up with stories to explain away why their cases are not done.

NSmen always kena bullied by regulars. Lau ampais don't respect NS Insps. They are not like SAF whereby NS officers are accorded proper respect. Perhaps it is the discipline factor. Detectives are a difficult bunch to control compared to army regulars. PNS SCs also treated quite badly by lau ampais. I treat my NSmen best. They all love me!

You just watch those HK police shows where they have the regular folks acting as the dectectives. They really act damn lao lan and love to talk back to their superiors. Anthony wong and his peers have all acted as detectives before.

There's a difference between police and army. In army, NS NCOs and commissioned officers can and are entrusted to do whatever regulars can and are entrusted to do. In police, the investigator job is already out for PNS, since no HI would want to train and groom someone going to ROD next year. You can be a reservist soldier or officer, but you can't be a reservist investigator in charge of long haul cases. Only a few NSPI were given the chance during PNSF, but that's for show of political correctness only.

Gambling is like cycling, swimming, eating, screwing and driving to me. The won't forget category. Names, places and events slowly but surely, getting from bad to worse.
