Serious Mata: Stop Spreading Lies That Ah Tiongs Want To Kidnap Little Sinkies! All lies!

SINGAPORE: Reports that have been circulating online of an attempted child kidnapping are untrue, police said on Saturday (Aug 6).

Writing on Facebook, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) confirmed that a report had been lodged concerning a kidnapping attempt of a young child at VivoCity shopping centre. The incident allegedly took place on Jul 31.

SPF said that they "have established that it was not a case of attempted kidnapping" and that "there are also no other reports made to the police of such kidnapping incidents in other parts of Singapore".

In a comment responding to a user's Facebook post earlier on Friday, police also said that there had been "zero cases reported for Kidnapping from lawful guardianship under Penal Code (Sec 361 Cap 224) involving children below the age of 16" in the last three years.

They urged members of the public not to spread unsubstantiated information "which may generate unnecessary public alarm".

MHA must be malu ...SPF has to make statement to deny that a crime exists.

I wonder if they reached out to those who made the claims or just searched their reports. If the reports are not recorded or classified properly it would be difficult to pull it out. Also the Vivo City case has not been explained why it went from kidnapping to non-kidnapping. These kinds of Facebook entries serves little purpose. A proper press release allows for journalist to ask questions and clarify.

Vivo is full of rich indon coming over to stash their ill gotten riches. Who would want such news to scare these money bags away ?

Of course cover with blanket lah. The attempt is foiled of course say no attempt. Did they know the definition of attempt or not ? Did they locate the woman perpetuator and did they question her to establish that there were no attempt ?

Or until it finally happen the they will rise up and admit - or maybe they are waiting for foreign press to do that. Like the MRT cracks and now heads are rolling.
