Let’s be clear: I have nothing but respect for the integrity of the Singapore Police Force. In my dealings with the police, they’ve been perfectly courteous and professional. Compared to China or the USA, we are #trulyblessed.

Singapore cannot do without them.

So it’s a shame that the National Museum’s Police Bicentennial (SPF200) Exhibition is such a bore. The brochure promises it will take us on a ‘200-year policing journey’. The reality is less substantial than a fart in gale-force winds. What little history it examines is mostly whitewashed. What remains is a great injustice to the history of justice.
