SINGAPORE: The police had dedicated"significant" resources into investigating former Member of Parliament Raeesah Khan's claims, said the Singapore Police Force on Monday .
"Two rounds of checks were conducted to ensure that we did not miss out any visit. A substantial amount of resources was dedicated to this, because it was a statement made by an MP in Parliament, and was taken seriously and at face value," SPF added. The Investigation Officers in charge of the cases were all then asked to check through their investigation records in detail, said SPF, adding that other details were also checked with the officers.
There were also delays in handling other matters and cases, with an impact on members of the public. The police said those cases could have been handled faster had the time and resources not been"wasted" trying to investigate an incident which never happened. They added that false accusations against the police have an impact on the victim's trust and confidence in them, and may deter victims from coming forward to seek help.
Wow... so 'HARDWORKING'!! Charles Chong lied about 22.5 million TC funds missing from Ponggol but no one, not even the Parliament is interested. Because he is from PAP!!
