I suppose the "foreign workers" will soon wear a "foreign prisoners" badge

My colleague happened to be having supper in that area...or so he claimed. He said he saw how the fight took place, such as how it all started with a huge punch to one of the officers, who staggered back a few steps from the blow, followed by a kick to the legs which sent him sprawling onto the floor before the whole horde of them descended on him.....
And in the commotion, they took the officer's wallet and handphone (and they didnt even run away after doing that), leaving his revolver and other equipment alone!
Think the first 2 officers who kana jialat jialat were sergeants. Another 2 SSGTs came to assist, and they also kana whack, although not as badly hurt lah. -
so the 2 got how many days MC?
-
outpatient, then they were rotated to do counterduties for the next 10 shifts. just kidding, heng the foreign workers never snatch the revolver, else is STAR activated liao, now a troop of SOC guys.Originally posted by FireIce:so the 2 got how many days MC? -
Saw on the news...cant remember if the SOC folks wore bullet proof vests?Originally posted by chunyong:outpatient, then they were rotated to do counterduties for the next 10 shifts. just kidding, heng the foreign workers never snatch the revolver, else is STAR activated liao, now a troop of SOC guys.
But anyway, isnt STAR part of SOC?
-
I believe so but STAR will only be activiated in "dua zong" incidents? wonder if PTF or LST was activated? My guess is LST?Originally posted by huaiwei:Saw on the news...cant remember if the SOC folks wore bullet proof vests?

Anyway just to add on to what I have said earlier....Originally posted by huaiwei:My colleague happened to be having supper in that area...or so he claimed.

After the first 4 officers kana, a whole fleet of FRCs descended on the area and surrounded the main battle ground, holding the folks at bay (and most probably rescuring their officers) until the SOC came along later.
I suppose they have managed to ascertain that the officers' firearms are not in danger from falling into the wrong hands by then, and hence they did not neet the STAR team and company, but rather, called for the riot control folks to come down? -
depends on the nature of the message despatched too, can't reveal too much lah.Originally posted by huaiwei:Anyway just to add on to what I have said earlier....
