[Singapore] - Police officer fined for calling police to report 'stolen bicycle' after losing key to lock

[UltimaOnline]

SINGAPORE: After losing the key to his locked bicycle, a police officer searched two shopping malls for a cutting tool to remove the lock to no avail.

When his friends jokingly suggested that he call the police to report a stolen bicycle in order to get "free service" to unlock his bike, the officer did so.

The false police report resulted in three police officers being deployed to the scene and the activation of manpower from multiple police departments including an investigation officer.

Ong Chee Seng, 50, was fined S$3,000 on Thursday (Oct 21). He pleaded guilty to one charge of knowingly giving false information to a public servant, with a second similar charge taken into consideration.

The court heard that Ong was an officer with the Singapore Police Force at the time of the offences.

What a waste of resources, to deploy three police officers, just for a call regarding a stolen bicycle?
What are the SPF priorities?

Only try this when you are an ang moh. Otherwise, let us thank you for generously replenishing the rapidly depleting Sinkie govt coffers.
