    On Death Of SSG Nadzrie Matin: Let Us All Just Be Humans

    Some of you may be shocked at the over powering grief.. some suprised with the profile pic changes.. some may feel its no big a deal… some may even be happy and say as a TP officer he deserved it… but let me share what I do know

    He must have woken up early this morning like every other Muslim for Sahur… he must have shared a meal with his wife and his loved ones at home.. little did anyone know that was the last meal together as a family

    He would have gone to work and changed into his whites.. the rest of the male team mates together with him sharing the usual banter and tcss.. little did anyone know that be the last time he was getting into his whites

    He would then have attended inpection and briefing by his TL.. the TL talking about the lastest instructions and other matters of the day.. little did anyone know thats the last briefing he attended

    He wld have gone to the garage, checked his motorcycle and loaded his equipment.. same time talking anf laughing with hia fellow team mates..

    He wld have put on his helmet.. radioed in to his colleagues and checked in his call sign before leaving TP…..

    He wld have rode to the main gate.. smiled and waved at the sentry and tuned out from the station.. little did anyone know he was never coming back

    Today, someone lost a son, husband, brother, best friend, colleague… everyone who knows him is left to come to terms on what has happened and find solace n strenght to carry on

    You may say his death is no diffrent to any other fatal road accident.. the loss, the grief, the ppl affected… i totally agree with that view….

    but….

    He was the thin blue line that seperates the good from the bad… just like every other police officer of any rank and any vocation… so although I never knew him, it pains n hurts me to see the videos n pics being circulated…. the helpless npco holding on to him, hands covered in blood without gloves….. the TP IOs having to secure the scene.. the bosses who had to break the news to the family

    Its been a trying day for the SPF… life will still go on… police cars will patrol, tp bikes will chase, road blocks will still continie… just cut the TP boys n gals some slack with the comments and viral videos.. let us grieve for one of us without distractions

    Lets just be human

    RIP SSGT Nadzrie

    29 Year Old Traffic Police Staff Sergeant Lost His Life After Alleged Accident With Van Along Serangoon Road

    A traffic police officer died in a traffic accident on Thursday (June 1) morning, police said.

    Staff Sergeant Nadzrie Matin, 29, was involved in an accident along Serangoon Road at about 10.40 am while he was performing traffic patrol duties.

    He was taken to the Tan Tock Seng Hospital where he subsequently succumbed to his injuries and passed away, police said.

    Mr Nadzrie had joined the Singapore Police Force in 2009 and was posted to the Traffic Police after he had completed his training

    Commissioner of Police Hoong Wee Teck expressed his deepest condolences to the family, “I am deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Staff Sergeant Nadzrie. He was a dedicated and well-liked officer. We will do everything possible to assist his family during this difficult period.”

    The Police appealed to members of the public not to circulate videos or images of the deceased out of respect for his family.

    Earlier on Thursday, videos and photos showed a traffic police motorcycle lying on a grass patch, and a uniformed man lying nearby.

    Paramedics appeared to be performing chest compression rescue on him.

    The 52-year-old driver of the vehicle involved in the accident, said to be a van, has been arrested for a negligent act causing death.

    Investigations are currently ongoing, police said.
