  • CNB And SPF To Explore Recording Interviews During Investigations

    CNB And SPF To Explore Recording Interviews During Investigations

    The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) and the Singapore Police Force will start consultations on the Video Recording of Interviews (VRI) during investigations, the Ministry of Home Affairs announced on Wednesday (Jul 22).

    The consultations will be conducted with a view to start the VRI pilot from first quarter of 2016, it added in its press release.

    The pilot will involve a limited set of offences and allow for an assessment for how the VRI impacts investigations, its effectiveness in different situations, and the resources required to implement VRI, before a decision is made on its broader implementation, said the ministry.

    This comes after MHA, together with the Attorney-General’s Chambers and the Ministry of Law, conducted a study on the feasibility of introducing VRI. The study looked at how VRI has been adopted in the US, UK, Australia and Hong Kong, and how the various models of VRI impacted the administration of criminal justice, said MHA.

    The ministry found that the implementation of VRI in Singapore “will further strengthen confidence in the integrity of our criminal justice system and assist the Courts to try cases more effectively”.

    With the VRI, a recording of the interview will be provided to the Courts so as allow it to “take the interviewee’s demeanour into account in determining the admissibility or weight to be accorded to the interviewee’s statement”, said MHA.

    “It will also provide an objective, contemporaneous account of the interview process and allow the Courts to decide on allegations that may be made about the interview,” the ministry added.

    MHA said the pilot will be conducted under the existing legal framework, and that they will commence consultations with various stakeholders on its implementation. Further details will be announced after consultations have been completed, it said.

  • Yishun Drama – Intruder Hide In Sranger’s Flat To Evade Police

    Yishun Drama – Intruder Hide In Sranger’s Flat To Evade Police

    For 20 agonising minutes, a mother and her three young children were stricken by fear when they were held captive in their Yishun flat yesterday.

    A desperate intruder had broken into their home and was frantically trying to escape the police.

    He was eventually arrested.

    Speaking to The New Paper after the incident, Madam Suhadah Jumadi, 33, said she was getting ready to break fast with her children in the living of their home in Block 431B, Yishun Avenue 1, when she saw a barefooted man walk out of her bedroom.

    He had climbed into her sixth-storey flat through the master bedroom window from the level above, breaking her window grilles.

    She hadn’t heard him as the TV was on and her children were playing.

    “The man told me not to call the police and asked me to find a way to help him get away,” Madam Suhadah said.

    Then she heard a commotion at her door as well as sounds under the block.

    “I could see uniformed officers outside (the window on the first storey), as well those knocking on my door (through the peephole).

    “That’s when I knew he was a wanted man,” she said.

    Masagos Zulkifli: Findings Into Khoo Teck Puat Incident Will Be Used To Update SOPs

    Findings from the investigation on the shooting that occurred at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital will help the authorities determine the kind of “correction” that will need to be taken to mitigate against a future occurrence, Second Minister for Home Affairs Masagos Zulkifli said on Monday (Jun 22).

    “Right now it’s still before the courts and we still have to do our investigation. The findings from this investigation will help us diagnose what the problems are, and what kind of corrections we may need to make in future,” Mr Masagos said at a HomeTeamNS event.

    On Saturday, a 23-year-old Singaporean man, who was under arrest for vehicle theft, was escorted to the hospital to seek medical attention after complaining of chest pains.

    While inside a private hospital room, the suspect attempted to escape and struggled with the officer. During the struggle shots were fired, with the officer wounded on his left hand and right foot.

    The man was brought under control and remains in police custody, and could face the death penalty under the Arms Offences Act for the unlawful discharge of firearms.

    A Khoo Teck Puat Hospital spokesman said the police officer needed immediate microsurgery on his hand and a hand surgeon was immediately available at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
