Assault and battery, police do nothing.

Very angry..

Was at a convenience stall and saw a customer quarreling with the cashier (lady), the customer looked like hes high or something and ready to attack her, but after shouted lotsa vulgarities he turned to leave.

I went to pay for my purchase, to cut things short..... then he got violent, rushed back in and attacked me while trying to attack the cashier, left me bleeding/bruised. Police called.

With the whole attack captured on CCTV and the casher as witness, the police say they wont do anything, up to me to take legal action on my own. WTF... no wonder low crime ... not follwed up what?! Somemore say the person is a karang guni, no point take action against him. What the point of having law "enforcers" when they dont enforce the law? Might as well just call them law "observers".

i'll be going to polyclinic later for medical report.
Then I will call up the police case officer to ask what will be done, most importantly, when I can get a hold of the CCTV footage of the assault.

I just can't understand it, even with CCTV coverage and the lady (intended victim) testifying that he was about to be attack her when he changed to assault me, he still walks free. She even thanked me because I indirectly saved her, if they were alone, she may be dead for all I know. The biggest ****... during the police questioning, he was drinking beer openly, macham he know nothing will happen. Very experienced like that.

Must I be a civil servant or a bus driver in order to be given justice? No wonder people these days go around beating people up. Think about it, if you pick on some old fella, kid, poor worker etc.. chances are, they dont know, cannot afford, scared to take civil action against you. Since police do nothing... hey.. free to do it again lor..

Was a crime committed?? Hell yeah... but no arrest.
Is that how police maintain a statistically "crime free" Singapore?? For everyone's sake, I hope not, my faith in our justice system is now severely dented. It can happen to your wife, hubby, kids, parents etc etc too.




Interestingly, todays ST forum also has a letter on such a situation. Well, mine will come soon if I dont get a good result from our men in blue.
