It’s tough living in Singapore now since we’re all doing this:
Finding a new series to watch in Netflix is hell; I bet you’ve spent more time finding a show you want to watch than watching a show.
But being a police officer now is even tougher.
While they signed up to do this…
…they now have to resort to putting on a hat back for someone who went bonkers during the Circuit Breaker period.
It doesn’t help that animals living in Singapore haven’t been cooperative so far. Here, take a look at these instances:
Cats: Can you don’t put us in the same page as the auntie? We do run away when a police officer is nearby
Right.
In the latest episode of Police Officers Signed On To Catch People Gathering, an auntie is caught on video being extremely uncooperative and passive aggressive towards a female police officer.
And if you know enough police officers, you’d know that they’re always polite because STOMP is keeping them in check (and that bodycam they have on their uniform).
Like I mentioned, they’d even put on a hat for you if needed.
But this female officer buay tahan, and for this, we completely understand.
Auntie So Uncooperative That Police Officer Got Pek Chek
If you’ve not watched the video above, then here’s the conversation between PA (Passive Aggressive) Auntie and PK (Pek Chek) Cop:
PK Cop: You’re staying in Singapore, right?
PA Auntie: No, I don’t like Singapore and I need to leave Singapore. All the way, are you supposed to detain me? Don’t let me to leave Singapore? Supposed to ask me to breach the law?
PK Cop: Listen. LISTEN! This is not about detaining or not detaining you. This is about the situation now. You understand, there’s COVID situation right now. Everyone is doing the same thing. Okay?
PA Auntie: All the way ah, I would like to leave Singapore
PK Cop: You are not—
PA Auntie: Can you help me to leave Singapore?
PK Cop: I’m not going to talk so much nonsense with you
PA Auntie: All the way as you supposed to detain me to—in Singapore?
PK Cop: Listen.
PA Auntie: Ask that one
Pk Cop: Listen to me. My duty here is to enforce—empower the law for COVID-19. Okay? The situation now does not allow you to even eat—

PA Auntie: All the way I’d like you to do ah, to go with—
The video ended abruptly, and I wonder why they’ve not inserted the “Directed By Robert B. Weide” credit here.
Unknown What Happened
Of course, with videos floating around the Internet with no context, it’s hard to make heads or tails of every video.
I mean, have you seen one whereby a man went bonkers and ran around the neighbourhood naked?

However, the police would only be called in when people are not cooperative; yesterday, there were 10 cases whereby the police would have to step in, including this auntie’s so hungry, she has to makan in a hawker centre even when safe distancing ambassador has approached her and requested for her particulars.
So whatever PA Auntie has done, it must have been serious.
Though we all have a pressing question: Who is “that one”?
NCID’s Warning: Be a Good Boy or Girl if Not More People Will Die
You’d probably know by now that the authorities’ tone has changed; no longer are they advising us about the consequences of not following the Circuit Breaker measures, but they’re using harsh words like “die” or “jailed”.
Yesterday, NCID’s clinical director Shawn Vasoo warns that if people in Singapore refused to follow the elevated safe distancing measures put into place, more will die from the virus.
People, he says, are not taking the pandemic seriously enough.
As of yesterday (13 April 2020), 9 people have died from complications due to COVID-19.
So if you’ve the PA Auntie’s mindset, then change your mindset immediate. Not all cops would be goody enough to pick up your hat and put it back on your head.

Since you’d most probably be at home instead of out there arguing with a police officer, you might just want to download the Goody Feed app for more light-hearted and informative articles about COVID-19 lah, which you might not see on Facebook. Or about armpit hair after the outbreak is over.
