Sukhdev Singh Gill – Sikhs, Jagas & Policemen Part 2 | Chronicles of Old Singapore

He offers his honest views on questions arising from the evolution of the force – why were neighbourhood police posts so important (and do we really need police complexes), why do people call the police on all kinds of matters, and is the police force facing a manpower shortage today?Part 1 | https://youtu.be/yrwMp7NRj0Y Part 2 | https://youtu.be/Vowo8sDLBmk Part 3 | https://youtu.be/p-uLp9hkWBg Part 4 | https://youtu.be/QOjXxK6UxtI00:00 The Police Academy04:19 Learning the Law06:09 A New Police Force09:45 Posts to Complexes 13:59 Neighbourhood Police Posts19:30 Lee Kuan Yew’s Role21:15 Calling the Police25:47 Undermanned30:37 With the PeopleSukhdev’s books:Boh cheng hoo: a Sikh boy in Hokkien ganglandhttps://catalogue.nlb.gov.sg/search/card?id=d9a97a7b-3534-5db2-9281-f87020349847&entityType=FormatGroupBang cheng hoo: a Sikh man in SG police forcehttps://catalogue.nlb.gov.sg/search/card?id=620f135a-c12b-5ded-9b00-d747bb46962a&entityType=FormatGroupGong cheng hoo: a Sikh elder in Sulawesi & SG politicshttps://catalogue.nlb.gov.sg/search/card?id=8a184efd-f699-595e-8896-64910dc74851&entityType=FormatGroupWelcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore.
