firstly, let me share with u guys an incident last year. i was at a fast-food restaurant last year when a fight broke out. it's was between a guy in 40s and a supposingly gang leader. when the fight took place, there was this bunch of NPCC NCOs, NCOs, not cadets, besides my table. throughout the fight, they were just watching the 'show', doing nth. though i dun expected them to stop the fight or what, the least they can do is call the police or the security guards? no they didnt, they just watch show. so, after the incident, it led me to wonder what's the use of the NPCC if their members cant even respond to a fight in public.
about the gangsterism in NPCC, u all have to admit that wearing the uniform, NPCC has to uphold the police image. vandalism is considered breaking the law right? i've seen NPCC cadets writing indecent messages on bus seats, not to mention other petty crimes, nevertheless still breaking the law.
i have to admit that my idea of scraping NPCC is controversy, but i made my point. from all the arguments made, u're the only one who made valid points which i accept and to some extent prove my words wrong. to the others, pls stop arguing just for the sake of putting me down coz u're NPCC, argue like gd4u.
Seriously, if there was really a fight with a gang leader. There is no point in calling the police. The mata would probably come after the fight has ended, then got thru' a series of admin work, and lastly let the case to rot. So, even me, as someone of higher authority than NCOs, won't really consider to call the police. But wat i guess u are saying abt the attitude of NCOs. "Got free show, watch lar" ...
Ultimately, NCOs are still students, i guess, it would be difficult for them to handle the situation. How in the heck would a 40 yr old gangster listen to a 15/16-yr old kid ??
Secondly, if u see anyone breaking the law, i will urge u to call the police. If NPCC cadets were seen breaking the law, i think they are breaking the image of the Corps. It is very much similar to if u see a guy from a certainly school behaving in a bad light, he has just tarnish the school image in front u. Such ppl are everywhere, and ultimately, as a CCA, anyone is free to join. The only way is to ask the Unit OC to expel such ppl out. But such a move is very adminstrative, and most OC can't be bothered to do it. So the bad guys stay on ...
The last note is, NPCC is still a CCA and faces the same problem as every other CCA...
