Police officer suicide: Leong Mun Wai asks Minister Shanmugam why there's no committee of inquiry

Non-Constituency Member of Parliament Leong Mun Wai on Tuesday (Feb 6) asked Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam about a case where a police officer killed himself after alleging workplace bullying, racial discrimination and unfair treatment after reportedly whistleblowing in the Singapore Police Force.
Mr Leong asked if a "better way to clear the air" would be to appoint a committee of inquiry (COI) rather than conduct an internal investigation by the police force.
In response, Mr Shanmugam said there needs to be consideration for trust in the police. "You put officers through this every time there is an allegation, public enquiries - what are you really saying? That they will be put out there, hung out to dry regardless of the facts? And you ask yourself: You think more people are going to join the police force? Is that good for Singapore?"
He added: "Bottom line is, do we trust the police force? Do we trust the Internal Affairs Office? Why do you think 90% of Singaporeans have trust in the police force?"

    In this case, Mr Leong seems to be just asking what a lot of Singaporeans would be asking in their minds when it is stated that 'for the very serious case of the police officer who committed suicide and left a message complaining about other police officers, the police force had conducted an investigation'. I would say most people would immediately and naturally think 'why not ask another party to conduct the investigation?', so it is very appropriate that an MP should voice it out for the people.

The methodology would have it reasoning behind it(only waste time and resources to probe thing when there good track record and no clear evidence there corruption involved in the investigation) , beside shamugan give it reasoning , did you acknowledge it? People believe what they want to believe, lmw know, that why he keep probing everything, that simple, let opposition investigate? Yeah definitely no chance that opposition will take it as opportunities to drag and keep probing for sake of probing right, definitely will help police trust , imagine the crime rate of Singapore is low , yet every case opposition investigate, definitely it won't look worse that it is and demoralise the police force, like during COVID despite singapore being denser and more prone to covid due to being high foreigner transit country, yet mortality rate is lower compare to lots of country, the opposition definitely didn't keep probing right where it jeopardize the morale of those healthcare worker risking their life? Definitely opposition is not opportunist, even when gov is doing well right?

    Singapore is getting "corrupted" in that sense. Workplace bullying seems "allowable" even in gov sector. Office politics was rampant. I remembered when i was a teacher, my subject head and HOD ganged up to bully. They would purposely bad mouthed me in front of other teachers, HODs and students. Even coerced students to go against me. Even P.E. teachers think they were kings, they could bully regular teachers and even sometimes even bully the about to retire waiting for pension Principal. During that time, about 5 teachers from the same department quit at the start of school term. ANother teacher from another department even engaged a lawyer to sue his own subject head. The subject head bad mouthed him. My friend from another school was also bullied by his HODs. He did not even make it to probation year. In terms of competency, he was one notch higher. He was from Sg top school.

    This happens in a very stressed society. Bullying is one way for the bullier to destress.It happens at workplaces. There must be an avenue for complainant to take up the matter to redress. Therefore, an independent panel of inquiry must be formed to show transparency and neutrality. The victim wants to seek justice at the end of the day.

    The Minister of Law should surely be able to know the difference between an allegation and a fact?

A person has killed themself and stated the reasons as to why. Surely he should be at least honoured with the decency of a proper investigation. No one is accusing the SPF. Shanmugam is inadvertently admitting that it’s best to not let an outside neutral party go asking questions because we’re not going to like the answers. Shameful.

    I think you misunderstood Minister's explanation. His explanation is that by putting officers through many COIs, it not only puts undue stress on the officers (when the facts of the case have not even been assessed yet), but it erodes the public confidence in the force. LMW himself agreed with the findings which means he finds the findings of the case sufficiently transparent. And not having a COI does not mean that the investigation was not transparent. If lets say the internal investigation concludes that there might be some form of discrimination happening, I'm sure a COI will be formed to investigate (just like how CPIB investigated Iswaran before he was arrested and put to trial). Need to look at the big picture and consider all factors holistically, not just suka suka form COI to investigate which is using taxpayers money and resource.

    Shanmugam's response is full of non sequiturs. It is precisely because the allegations raised questions about the leadership of the police force that the public is going to prefer an investigation conducted by an unbiased third party over one conducted by the police leadership. Shanmugam would do well to remember that the police exists to serve the public, not the other way round. If you have to choose between public trust or "police morale" it is obvious that public trust must come first.

    @@flowertowerrr I did watch the entire thing. You may be missing my point if you think I'm suggesting that a COI's investigation will uncover more facts than one conducted internally. My point is that Shanmugam is theatrically bringing up a completely irrelevant issue - i.e. the morale of the police leadership falling due to being subject to external investigation - to distract from Leong's question. I base my opinion on the following idea: from the perspective of the public as well as rank and file members of an organization, an investigation by an external, independent third party will always be perceived as more fair / transparent / truthful than one conducted by the organization's own leadership, _especially if the issue being investigated concerns systemic problems in the organization and potential coverups by leadership itself._ I don't think any rational person would disagree with this idea; for reference, recall the issues of training deaths in the SAF or hazing rituals in the SCDF in recent years and what the public discourse of those topics were like. Thus, if we are to address in good faith Shanmugam's assertion that "morale of police leadership" is a reason why a third party investigation should not be preferred (although I truly think he is just using a red herring by bringing up morale and trying to intimidate Leong with his aggressive tone), then my counterpoint as per my previous comments is that, no, actually 1) public trust in the police and 2) morale of the rank and file officers would be improved by having the investigation be done by a COI instead; and these two factors are easily more important to society's wellbeing than just the morale of the police leadership alone. Hope this clarifies.

    Having a task force from Police force and CPIB to investigate can help and enforce trust from the public that Singapore Police force is taking serious on this allegations. Therefore more people will look at Singapore Police force in away that Singapore Police Forces take everyone of their officer life seriously. Everyone who are seriously thinking of joining the police force can feel safe.

As police officers they will understand if they are not wrong but instead internal investigation to me is just fears of being exposed and also the trust of his own ministry is not there … (my opinions only) It is only in my own opinion as I am an experienced businessman who lead quite a team not only in Singapore but also overseas …
