Proud to received awards, our dear Commissioner. But when failure occurs, he refuses to take the blame.
The words by Justice Selvam - 'This is not acceptable' should be sufficient cause for him to accept responsibility and resign.
As Justice Selvam remarked, 'What happened is not acceptable!' Do you hear that Mr Commissioner? Can you still hold your head up high and defend your men especially your senior officers and commanders? They answer to you and reflect you, in the manner they go about their duties. Their failures and yours are painfully obvious to a trained judge and former Commissioner, and obvious now to all of us. I don't know if the COI will recommend your removal, but surely as the person responsible for the whole force, such a scathing assessment of the failures on and before December 8th, together with other shameful acts perpetrated by officers under your command, isn't it obvious now to you, that you should accept responsibility and resign? Or have you no shame?
Watching the show of the year. Despite the injuries to police and SCDF officers, and the large destruction of property, these officers were happy to stay put and let the rioters have 'their fun'.
The officers on the ground prior to SOC's arrival were in flux, there was no leadership provided by DAC Lu or his senior officers. They did nothing! When the first patrol car was torched they did nothing, this emboldened the riotersand they then turned their fury on other Govt vehicles. Instead of trying to stop them, the police officers ran from an ambulance - emboldening the rioters further. Dozens of police and SCDF staff were injured and still nothing was even attempted. The initial scene as DC Rajakumar remarked - the body of the victim lying there, and yet nothing was done to show that the police were on top of the situation by detaining the driver and coordinator.
