Now that MHA is in the spotlight...lets look at some of the stupidest policemen who had screwed up their job.
The 1st and 3rd case still not so bad, although stuoid but at least their "plan" has chance of sustaining a short period.
The stupid one is the 2nd case. Only $1000 and share by the 2 of them. Kenna sack for $500 dollars. With this level of IQ, you can forget about them solving your case.
LOL....

SINGAPORE: A former police staff sergeant has been sentenced to 10 weeks’ jail on Thursday.
37—year—old Idris Makrob faced four counts of disciplinary offence under the Police Force Act, but the prosecution proceeded with two counts.
At the time of the offence, Idris was serving at the Intelligence Division of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
The court heard that in 2006, Idris started to frequent a pub known as Joudan Sing—A—Long at Changi Village Road and became acquainted with the pub’s five major shareholders.
Between October 2007 and February 2008, Idris found out that a minor shareholder wanted to sell his stake worth about S$3,000.
Idris took the opportunity to ask two of the five men if he could have a 2.5 per cent share within this stake, valued at S$1,500. The two major shareholders agreed and Idris paid them S$500.
The court was told that Idris did not have to pay the full sum as he was deemed as someone who could provide "assistance" on matters relating to the operations of the pub, which had at that time employed Filipinos without valid work permits.
Under the Act, Idris was under duty to seek permission from the Commissioner of Police to become a shareholder in the pub but he failed to do so. As such, he committed a disciplinary offence and was sentenced to 10 week’s jail on each of the two charges.
The district judge ordered him to serve the sentences concurrently.
In his mitigation, Idris expressed remorse and gave an account of how he was on a downward spiral after he was caught.
After his arrest in June 2008, Idris’ second son died three weeks after he was born. Idris said his son’s death sent him into depression and during this period, he was interdicted from the police force.
Then in February 2011, his marriage ended and his wife obtained custody of their eldest son. Devastated, Idris said he had no place to stay and ran out of money.
He told the court it took almost four years for CPIB to conclude its investigation into his case and during this period, he took time to reflect. Idris said he was unable to withstand the "traumatic and excruciating period" while under investigation.
In sentencing, the district judge said while he took Idris’ mitigation into consideration, he said the nature of the offence is serious. He told Idris that as a police officer, he was to have conducted himself in a professional manner, which he failed to do so.
Idris could have been sentenced up to six months’ jail, a fine not exceeding S$1,000, or both.

TWO police sergeants who conspired to get their hands on a $1,000 wad of cash found at Nanyang Polytechnic in April 2008 were jailed on Thursday for attempting to cheat and providing false information. Abdul Aziz Abdul Majid, from the Bedok police division, had also logged onto the police database unlawfully.
He was jailed a total of 10 months. His accomplice, fellow sergeant Nazir Ali Khan, 37, was jailed four months.
In passing sentence, District Judge Jill Tan said that while it was inexcusable to cheat another person, it was disgraceful for the two sergeants to try to cheat another officer and get hold of the cash. Both men are appealing against the conviction and sentence.
During the three-week trial, the court heard that Abdul Aziz was in financial difficulties when he went into the police database in April 2008 and discovered the Clementi division was holding $1,000 in its lost-and-found section. The 32-year-old then contacted Nazir and devised a plan to claim the cash for themselves. On April 4, he posed as a vending machine technician who had lost $1,000 three days earlier, and visited the Clementi police station. He lied that Nazir had informed him that the money had been found and was at the Clementi police division.
The cash was never handed over and, in the ensuing investigation, Nazir was pulled up for an interview and told investigators that Abdul Aziz had lost $1,000 either at Nanyang Polytechnic or at Yio Chu Kang MRT station. He had merely called the Clementi police division to help his friend recover the money.
Both Abdul Aziz and Nazir have been suspended from their duties.
SINGAPORE: A former Police National Serviceman was sentenced to 18 months' jail on Wednesday for various offences, including accepting bribes to smuggle cigarettes to an inmate in the Subordinate Courts' lock-up.
23-year-old Sulaiman Firdaus pleaded guilty to one count each of corruption, cheating and drug consumption.
The court heard that Sulaiman was a Special Constable attached to the Police Subordinate Courts Unit at the time of his offence.
Between May and June 2008, he befriended and exchanged telephone numbers with an inmate known as "Thomas", who was remanded at the Subordinate Courts' lock-up for his court hearing.
Sulaiman later received a call from a person known as "Raz" to pass cigarettes to another inmate in the lock-up on the same day as "Thomas".
The operations saw Sulaiman passing the items to the inmate, who would in turn hand them over to "Thomas".
In return, Sulaiman received S$50.
A similar incident took place a few months later, this time with the bribe increasing to S$150.
Sulaiman, who is currently working as a part-time pub bouncer, was also involved in credit card fraud in April 2010, after he purchased an iPhone worth S$1,366 using counterfeit credit cards.
He was also arrested on 31 August last year for consuming drugs.
