[Sg] - Shanmugam vows to fully investigate claims by SPF officer who killed himself on racism against Indians inside SPF
- Thread starter UltimaOnline
- Start date
Exactly as I've predicted. He should have joined Bollywood. Although RIP, it's all of his own making. Let's call a spade a spade.
Kudos to SPF for doing a thorough investigation and not get hoodwinked by these buggers with a deep character flaw and mental health issues trying to use suicide as means to escape and point the blame at others without taking responsibility themselves.
In 2022 - he only worked less than 30 days with various types of leaves.
He also assaulted his own brother with pending police and next day his mother has also made a police report against him due to fearing for her own safety, LOL.

Police officer found dead: Superiors tried to help him with 'substantial challenges' at work, says SPF
SINGAPORE — The police will be reviewing the allegations of workplace discrimination and referring their findings to the Attorney-General's Chambers for an independent review after Sergeant Uvaraja Gopal was found dead on Friday evening (July 21).The police said this in a statement on Monday afternoon, in response to allegations made by Sgt Uvaraja, 36, who was an officer at the Ang Mo Kio Police Division.
They also looked into the allegations of racial discrimination against Sgt Uvaraja and found them to be unsubstantiated.
Sgt Uvaraja had claimed in a Facebook post on Friday that he was bullied at the workplace by his superiors, racially abused by his team members, and had sought help but did not receive any.
The police said in a Facebook post on Friday that Sgt Uvaraja was found dead at the foot of Block 393 Yishun Avenue 6 that day, and that they would be investigating his allegations. They do not suspect foul play.
In response to the allegations, the police said on Monday that Sgt Uvaraja had made a number of complaints against his superiors and peers over the years, and was facing "substantial challenges" at work.
His superiors tried to help him in a number of ways, which included coaching him on his performance issues and transfers at his request to six different work units in nine years, they said.
He had also been given additional leave since 2015 beyond his usual leave entitlement, said the police.
For example, in 2022, he was at work for fewer than 30 days and was on various types of leave, including extended sick leave, unrecorded leave and no pay leave.
In 2023, he had been at work for fewer than 25 days for similar reasons, said the police.
Sgt Uvaraja was also given counselling and psychological assistance at various points from 2016, they added.
Most recently, in January 2023, he was assigned a para-counsellor after he reported experiencing work stress. Para-counsellors do not possess formal counselling qualifications, but are trained in basic counselling, crisis intervention and peer support.
On Feb 16, he was transferred to a new unit and showed signs of being emotionally unstable. He was seen by a para-counsellor on the same day and was later attended to by a psychologist from the Police Psychological Services Department.
Due to safety concerns, he was relieved from carrying firearms from Feb 16 onwards, said the police.
In his Facebook post, Sgt Uvaraja had also complained about the misconduct of fellow officers.
For instance, he said that he reported seeing officers vaping on police premises in 2021, but alleged that the matter was covered up by the internal investigator of the case.
In response, the police said that Sgt Uvaraja had alerted his supervisors in August 2021 that he saw fellow officers vaping in the compound. An independent supervisor was tasked to perform searches for e-cigarettes and vaping devices and interview the officers involved.
However, the police were not able to find evidence of wrongdoing and thus no disciplinary action was taken.
In a separate incident in January 2023, Sgt Uvaraja, who was then transferred to a different police unit, alerted his supervisors that he had spotted fellow officers smoking.
Investigations found evidence of this infringement and disciplinary action was subsequently taken against those involved.
Following both incidents, his supervisors facilitated his request to transfer to another unit to start afresh as he felt uncomfortable working with the colleagues he had reported on, said the police.
The police also noted that Sgt Uvaraja had tensions with his family. On July 13 afternoon, the police received multiple calls for assistance at his parents' residence. When they arrived, they found Sgt Uvaraja having a dispute with his family over financial matters.
He had also allegedly assaulted his brother and, as a result, the police commenced an investigation against him for voluntarily causing hurt and intentional harassment. This was a pending case, the police added.
The next day, on July 14, Sgt Uvaraja's mother lodged a police report against him, saying that she feared for her safety.
This was followed by a call for police assistance later in the day by Sgt Uvaraja's sister-in-law who said he was outside her house. He left the area after the police arrived.
The police said they had informed Sgt Uvaraja's parents and his brothers about disclosing this information to the public and the family members were understanding of the release of the information.
The findings will be submitted to the Attorney-General's Chambers as well as to the Minister for Home Affairs K. Shanmugam, who will decide on whether a further review is required.
The police also thanked Sgt Uvaraja and his family for his service of more than 10 years and is providing them with their "fullest assistance".

Aiya if u wanna look at bullying u need to see the rank la.I thought it's the ethnic minorities who do all the bullying in uniform-wearing organizations. That uniform magically puffs up their self-esteem and bravado, and they go on a power trip.
The typical lower rungs are minority races esp at the civil defence side. The higher rungs are mostly degree holders and probably Chinese. The even higher ups are those on scholarships and parachuted to cushy positions and these I guess is almost all are Chinese.
Too caring and inclusive is not on PAPPY card. Non Caring and non inclusive will help PAPPY maintain its dominance because if a society is too unfied, PAPPY will be voted out. You never heard of the saying - divide and conquer?
Let's call a spade, a spade. This place is run along racial lines.
You can call that racism if you want to.
Anyways, the coverup has begun, right?
Indeed. In the prison service the mats call the shotsI thought it's the ethnic minorities who do all the bullying in uniform-wearing organizations. That uniform magically puffs up their self-esteem and bravado, and they go on a power trip.
If all this is true, and I presume SPF can show it is, then we should ask how such an officer was allowed to carry on so long? It would be a danger to the public. If an officer's own family justifiably makes a report of violent behavior against him, should he not be suspended from duty at the very least , pending investigations? Was it ever investigated and were there charges brought against him?
Are there other such officers with mental health issues and violent behavioural symptoms still carrying out duties?

I'm surprised it took them so long to relief him of his firearm since he already displayed psychotic symptoms for so long. He was a walking time bomb
Yalor, but glad they eventually did. I bet he must've been super pissed to have his firearm taken away. Possibly made him even more fed up.
Stop reading at 'Sathiya Moorthy'....
