Will DAC "hold the ground" Lu Yeow Lim be the next CP ?

[Force 136]

A decision was made by Deputy Assistant Commissioner (DAC) Lu Yeow Lim, commander of Tanglin Police Division, for officers stationed at roads around the scene to "hold the ground" and contain the rioters until Special Operations Command (SOC) troops arrived.

But Mr Selvam said this gave the mob "a good protected area" where they could destroy government property with impunity. The former Supreme Court judge also pointed out that there were over 100 police officers along Race Course Road that night and only about 25 active rioters.

Mr Raja Kumar explained that it was "a matter of judgment" by ground DAC Lu, who had decided there were not enough officers at that point to "dominate the ground".

But the retired judge hit back: "It was poor judgment."

Making him CP is a pure waste of talent.

I think they should quickly make him a man in white and let him lead a team in East Coast GRC for the next GE. I am sure he will be able to "hold the ground".

More talented than Tin Pei Ling perhaps?

Yes, indeed poor judgement to the core. Had warning shots been fired, those rioters then would have scattered. When SPF did nothing but held the ground, the rioters were embolden to go wild. Ball-less and stupid SPF commanders.
