literally spent the entire weekend at Raffles City, screening cargo-laden vehicles for explosives. well, if i were an IOC member..i'd really feel secure in singapore. i mean. this is as tight as security can get. just look at the number of police officers being deployed for this event. its practically 75% of the police force. if quantity does not justify the level of security, consider the equipment we use. special UV mirrors, the C4 electronic sniffer (to detect chemical signatures of explosives) as well as dogs from SOC K-9 unit (trained to sniff out drugs and explosives), and not to mention, standard police officer protocol (baton, revolver, handcuffs).
hmm.and on sunday when were were about to hand over duty to the morning shift officers, this inspector came up to our screening bay, and told us to re-screen one lorry we had just screened. apparently he wanted to film the screening process, ss part of a video to be presented to CP. he insisted that "one of the guys with beret go up the vehicle. more garang". LOL. the only guys with berets in the screening bay were the 4 coast guard officers. and somehow all of them managed to slip away, leaving me in the limelight. nugget. so i had to don my beret and pretend to screen the vehicle. it so happened that the lorry was laden with fresh chicken. and there was goo all over the floor surface. and i nearly slipped sia lol. so..i feel honoured to be in a video that's gonna be shown to our commissioner..lol!
well, after barely a night of rest, i'm back on duty again. later.
rest assured, people of Singapore and International Olympic Committee, your security is safe in our hands =)
