A Singapore Police Force national serviceman, Abdillah Zamzuri, has been questioned by his reservist unit over comments he made on his blog relating to the arrest of a photojournalist during last month’s flash floods.
In that incident, Lianhe Wanbao photojournalist Shafie Goh was handcuffed briefly by police while covering the flash floods along Upper Bukit Timah Road on July 16.
Police later explained that after he had ignored repeated calls to leave the scene, the photojournalist had to be detained for his own safety because he was taking photos from a precarious position.
In a July 19 post entitled, Singapore’s Flood in Cuffs, on his self-entitled blog, Abdillah described himself as “someone who still reports for reservist duty as a Police Officer”.
He wrote, “I am well aware of the Penal Code and Statutes that governs and dictates what a Police Officer can and cannot do… there are also instances whereby Police Officers are strongly encouraged to exercise discretion in their line of duty, and added that the incident ‘didn’t warrant the officer to dish out his handcuff and to place the photographer under arrest for refusing to leave’.”
Abdillah went on to defend Goh for carrying out his duties as a photographer.
He wrote in his post, “The photographer was doing his job to snap interesting shots of photographs of the flood when he was advised by the Police Officer to leave the scene. Yes, the flood could mean catastrophe for the photographer if his camera fell into the water but surely it didn’t warrant the officer to dish out his handcuff and to place the photographer under arrest for refusing to leave.”
However, in a separate post dated July 27, he said he “had no ill intention whatsover to cause mistrust in the organisation amongst the general public”.
Mr Abdillah told The Straits Times on Friday that a week after the post, he was called up by an investigation officer and spent an hour recording his statements at the Pasir Ris Neighbourhood Police Centre.
When the police was contacted by the same paper, a police spokesman said, “It is inappropriate for us to comment as the case is currently under investigation.”
Abdillah is the second person to be questioned by police for comments made online. On Tuesday, Abdul Malik Mohammed Ghazali, 27, was arrested for making anti-government remarks on social networking site Facebook.
