Can never clean up the place. The Japanese tried taking the Chinese in WW2 but there were simply too many. Here the police only wants to make their presence felt.

SPF facing severe shortage of manpower.
I hear the KINS unit presently manned by police reservists gonna be given to the SAF MPs to take over. :rolleyes:

They are also toying with the idea of the active NS Guards Battalion taking over some of the duties of the Gurkhas. ;)
