A few points to ponder:
�
1) The girl is 11 years old
2) The IO said the boy confessed, then boy told mother "You say I am guilty, I�m guilty then�. Boy also told mother he did not molest the girl
3) Mother requested "interview" video from IO, IO rejected her
4) Mother�said her son was not his usual self following his release. His hands were freezing cold and he hardly spoke. Boy�s sister added that he appeared somewhat �stunned�. She also queried the police�s assessment of her brother�s state of mind. �How can the police prove that�Benjamin did not show any sign of being duly distressed?�
5) Boy's father said his son was a thoughtful young man who understood that his family was not financially well-off, and had been working part-time at McDonald�s to help lighten their burden
6) Boy was also popular with his peers. Friends from the National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) attended his wake and gave his family a special tribute to their departed friend.

Wow! so comprehensive they can report, I did not even know this so called incident happened "in a lift outside school" .... i thought the incident happened at school. ��

Made a mental note to include the following in my brat's upbringing:
�
- do not admit to anything that he is not guilty of, no I am Spartacus moment
- do not enter lift with a female alone
- do not enter lift with a male alone
- if taken in by men in blue, request for phone call. Else do not speak further.
�
Obviously the above points are easier said than done, it is a crazy world to raise kids.
Learnt from Uber... Surge pricing.
�
i see that KBW has piloted the first initiative for car lite SG
�
$116/hr in HDB parking sure reduce cars in HDB to ZERO
�
�
�
So young also tio handcuffed
To me the 5 plain clothes officer is crucial.
�
To bring a 14 years old boy back does the police really need 5 people to go?
�
Scared he do a parkour?
�
It's a traumatic experience for the boy in school.
�
One driver, one IO (maybe IO Indian or Malay), one interpreter for the IO, one officer escort and one on job training (new bird) ... �
�
So 5 officers lor ..
SPF always said that very hard press on manpower and had to farm out certain jobs to private sector.�Even some NPP post also operates only during day time.�
�
But�you see 5 officers going for one 14 yrs boy in school ... 
�
The other 3 officers should be posted back to NPP post.

�
As a policeman, he was supposed to uphold the law.
�
But full-time police national serviceman Muhammad Shazwan Sapuwan abused his authority and threatened a young couple to do his bidding.
Then a Special Constable Corporal, the 21-year-old wore his police warrant card to frighten the teenage couple after he caught and photographed them having sex on a staircase landing at a Housing Board block.
�
Threatening to take them to a police station, he told the couple he would let them go only if they let him record a video of the then 16-year-old girl performing oral sex on her boyfriend, also 16.
Even though the frightened couple complied, Shazwan proceeded to rape the girl while the boy looked on helplessly.
Yesterday, Shazwan, now 23, was sentenced to jail for 18 years and 15 strokes of the cane after pleading guilty to one count each of rape, sexual assault by penetration, outrage of modesty and extortion.
A second sexual assault by penetration charge involving the girl, one count of cheating and three other extortion charges were taken into consideration.
The court heard that Shazwan had other victims.
On separate occasions in 2014, he snuck up on two couples behaving intimately at HDB staircases and recorded them on video.
After introducing himself as a police officer, he cheated one of his victims out of $200 in August that year and extorted cash totalling $1,720 from another the following month.
The court heard that on Oct 24, 2014, Shazwan tailed the 16-year-old couple to a staircase landing and photographed them having sex.
Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Sellakumaran Sellamuthoo said the girl had met her boyfriend after school at around 1.45pm that day and they went to a block of flats in the north-western part of Singapore.
They went to a staircase landing on the seventh storey where they got intimate and the girl performed oral sex on the boy.
- A police NSF observes a young couple having sex. He takes two photographs with his mobile phone.
- He approaches the couple, wearing his police warrant card. He orders the couple to have sex and records video of them.
- The man then rapes the girl while her boyfriend watches. Two days later, he extorts $40 from boyfriend. For that, he was sentenced to jail for 18 years and 15 strokes of the cane.

FOLLOWED
Shazwan, who had followed the pair, spied on them from the eighth storey. He snapped two photographs of the couple.
When they were done, Shazwan came forward. He wore a lanyard displaying his police warrant card.
DPP Sellakumaran said he was also wearing a Jurong Police Division Headquarters polo T-shirt and a pair of blue police pants.
Shazwan took down the teenagers' particulars and told them they had committed an offence of "public nudity".
When the girl told him she did not want her parents to find out about the incident, he replied he would help the pair, but at the risk of losing his job. He then engaged them for about an hour for a solution.
As a bargain, Shazwan suggested filming them having sex. The boy was against the idea, but Shazwan insisted it was their only option. Out of fear, the couple eventually gave in.
While filming the teenagers, Shazwan decided to join in and forced the girl to perform oral sex on him.
He then raped her.
Shazwan left the scene once he was done, but told the couple to stay put.
At around 5pm, he called the boy to tell him they could go home.
But he was not done.
THREAT
Two days later, Shazwan contacted the boy and asked for $40. He threatened him with the sexually explicit videos.
The teenager complied and transferred the money over in two transactions.
Three days after her rape, the girl met her friends at school and started crying as she could not control herself any more.
DPP Sellakumaran said: "She disclosed the incident to her friends. Her friends managed to find the accused's identity through his Facebook profile and they encouraged her to make a police report.
"Later that day, the victim disclosed the matter to her family who then accompanied her to make a police report."
Shazwan was arrested hours later.
DPP Sellakumaran urged Judicial Commissioner (JC) Foo Chee Hock to sentence him to 18 years' jail with between 12 and 15 strokes of the cane.
He said: "Instead of upholding the law to protect life and property, the accused had lawlessly and brazenly abused his authority as a police officer to act to the detriment of those whose interests he was supposed to safeguard."
Before handing down the sentence, JC Foo said the sentence must be a deterrent one to "reflect society's abhorrence" of such offences.
Responding to queries from The New Paper, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said: "Officers of SPF, including national service officers, are expected to uphold the law and set a good example by maintaining high standards of discipline and integrity.
"Those who commit offences will be charged in court and dealt with in accordance with the law."
For rape, Shazwan could have been jailed up to 20 years and fined or caned.
For extortion, he could have been jailed up to seven years and caned.

Police NSF caught 16-year-old girl having sex with BF -- then asked her to perform oral sex on him before raping herPosted on 2 February 2016 | 3,825 views | 6 comments�Shazwan took videos of couples behaving intimately and extorted money from them. -- PHOTO: The Straits Times

The Straits Times
1 February 2016A full-time police national serviceman abused his authority by sneaking up on couples behaving intimately at HDB staircases, recording their acts on video and then using his status to extort money from them.
The third time he did this, Muhammad Shazwan Sapuwan, 21, went a step further - he raped a 16-year-old girl he had "caught" in intimate acts with her 16-year-old boyfriend.
On Monday, Shazwan, now 23, was jailed 18 years and ordered to be caned 15 strokes after he pleaded guilty to rape, oral sex, outrage of modesty and extortion. Five other charges for extortion, cheating and sexual assault were taken into consideration.
The court heard that on Oct 24, 2014, Shazwan followed the couple and used his phone to take pictures of them getting intimate.
He then approached them, identifying himself as a police officer.
At the time, he was wearing a Jurong Police Division polo T-shirt, his blue police trousers and a lanyard that displayed his police warrant card. Shazwan asked for their particulars and threatened to report them for public nudity.
He told the couple that he would "submit" their names as he did not want to lose his job.
After an hour of talks, he suggested that they repeat their intimate acts and he be allowed to record them.
He told them that if he were to lose his job, he would use the video recording to threaten them for money.
The girl, who did not want her parents to find out about the acts, convinced her boyfriend to comply.
While the couple were performing sexual acts, Shazwan touched the girl's breast and forced her to perform oral sex on him.
He then told the boyfriend to have sex with the girl but the teenager refused. Shazwan then raped the girl.
After leaving the scene, Shazwan communicated with the boyfriend on WhatsApp and demanded $40 by the next morning.
The boyfriend eventually transferred the money to him. Three days later, the girl started crying in front of her friends in school and told them what had happened.
Her friends managed to find out Shazwan's identity on Facebook and encouraged her to make a police report.

Yishun teen death: Police to review interview procedure - See more at: http://news.asiaone....h.G1G3GyZC.dpuf
�
SINGAPORE - The police announced today (Feb 1) that it will be reviewing its interview process on whether to allow "an appropriate adult" to be present when an accused minor is questioned.
�
This comes after a 14-year-old teenager jumped to his death on Jan 26 after he was taken in for questioning over a case of outrage of modesty the day before.
�
He was pronounced dead at the foot of an Yishun HDB block where he lived.
�
According to the statement, the police revealed that officers went to conduct enquiries at a school based on CCTV evidence.
�
To keep the investigation discreet, five police officers went to the school in plain clothes and undermarked cars.
�
After discussing with the school officials and viewing CCTV records, the teenager, who was identified in the video, was brought to the principal's office by a school official.
�
The boy was spoken to in the presence of a police officer.
�
Before he was brought to Ang Mo Kio Division, the 14-year-old contacted his mother to inform her of the investigation. A police officer also spoke to his mother.
�
At Ang Mo Kio Division, the teen was interviewed by a investigation officer at his workstation in an open plan office with other workstations.
�
The police said the boy was fully cooperative during the interview.
�
After, he was released on bail, he went back with his mother.
�
Police said investigations have not been completed.
�
A Coroner's Inquiry will be held upon the conclusion of investigations, where all the relevant facts will be presented to the State Coroner.
�
At the inquiry, the family will also be able to raise all questions that they may have, said the police.
�
The police have expressed their deepest condolences to the family and called the teenager's passing "tragic".
�
They have met the family to address their questions on the case and provided clarifications on the actions of the officers during their interaction with their son.

Sad.... very sad ....

Sad.... very sad ....

Yalor I think any parents will felt the same.
He could have contributed so much to society and his family when he becomes older. Sometimes young people are just playful. Not trying to defend his alleged molest, but death is too high a penalty to pay.
I don't really blame the IO also, because they are just doing their job. It's the SOP that needs to be tweaked, and the police honchos acknowledged that too.
I also hope parents pay more attention to any signs of distress in their kids. Don't wait before any tragedy happens.
I'm really saddened by this unfortunate incident to be honest. Hope the kid is in a better place now, and the parents can be strong and pick up the pieces.

For me, the important thing is how to use EQ�in situation like this: -
�
1. No need 5 officers to enter the school
�
2. If 5 officers are indeed in school, can't they conduct the interview in school in presence of the Honorary VSC aka discipline master?
�
3. A bail was ever done outside of the station during my time, I believed it was called discretion.
�
Whatever it is, police or school or parents, it is interconnected:�
�
1. School had Honorary VSC and what the hell are they doing? I guess it has become another white elephant since 1997... really NATO...
�
2. Police have Head Invest and CIO more senior than the IO, and this is the best they can come out with when dealing with young suspect?
�
3. Parents how well have they communicate with the kid? Did the parents know how fragile he was?
�
Finally, move on and change quickly... since the last incident of handcuffing a minor and 50 years once rioting, this new development has shown that nothing had improved.
�
Police - the toughest job in Singapore but it is no excuse to let the system deteriorate... I've been there and it was not this bad... those were the days... Picnic06-Biante15�would agree...
personally.... �RIP to the boy. Young life wasted just like that.�
�
But until more details are revealed... don't think its fair for me to comment.�
�
1) what is the details of the exact crime the boy is alleged to have commited?
2) did the denial with the mum really take place?
�
�
I understand in all fairness... we will never be able to find out the ''truth''.�
�
�
But i feel the 5 officers who went to apprehend the young boy are already feeling very terrible about the situation.. �.. cut some slack... �
�
�
and pray that the SOPs in SPF wld make sure that these things will never happen again.
One driver, one IO (maybe IO Indian or Malay), one interpreter for the IO, one officer escort and one on job training (new bird) ... �
�
So 5 officers lor ..

Ok, u win bro.

MP: 'PROTECT ALL WHO ARE VULNERABLE'WEST COAST GRC MP PATRICK TAY SAYS MORE SAFEGUARDS NEEDED NOT ONLY FOR MINORS ACCUSED OF A CRIME, BUT ALSO THE ELDERLY AND INTELLECTUALLY DISABLEDFeb 3, 2016 6:00amBY NG JUN SEN�As minors are vulnerable, a Member of Parliament is calling for more safeguards for such individuals accused of a crime.�Former policeman and MP for West Coast GRC Patrick Tay was reacting to last week's news about a 14-year-old, who was found dead after he was hauled up by the police for an alleged molest.�Since then, the police have said that they will review their procedures on allowing an appropriate adult to be present when a youth is interviewed.�But this should also extend to all vulnerable persons, said Mr Tay, who is also a member of the Government Parliamentary Committee (GPC) for Home Affairs and Law.�This includes the elderly and those with intellectual disabilities.�"I use the term vulnerable persons, because not only are minors more timid in disposition, but the elderly and the intellectually disabled can feel fearful in a police investigation too," he said.�Mr Tay speaks from experience, as he had himself conducted police interviews with accused persons during his stint as a police inspector from 1996 to 1998.�It is not in the police's interest to cause fear or be intimidating to the accused, he explained.�Said Mr Tay: "Police interviews are about finding evidence that is beyond a reasonable doubt. There is no point in taking a statement (from a frightened person) only to have it be thrown out in court later.�"In the course of the review, the police should share some of their procedures as long as it does not impede investigations."�He said the police have to "balance between the rights of the accused and the administration of justice, since having another person present can affect the recorded statement".�CHANGES�Others are also calling for changes to police procedures.�On campaigning site Change.org, Facebook group Restore started a petition yesterday, addressed to the authorities, to ensure the protection of minors' rights during investigations.�It attracted more than 200 signatories in the first 10 hours.�The Association of Women for Action and Research (Aware) also welcomed the police review, stating that "any investigation must take place with due regard for the rights of suspects".�As a group that works with people who have experienced sexual assault, Aware said it is concerned about the rights and welfare of children who may be involved in sexual assault investigations, whether as complainants, suspects or witnesses.�Mr Tay and Aware also called on the police to draw from international best practice. Aware even cited how in Victoria, Australia, police can only interview a person under 18 if a parent, guardian or other support person is present.��Father of teen: Police review �a good move��The father of the 14-year-old boy, whom we are not naming, told The New Paper yesterday that the police review is "a good move".�He said while he is upset at how things turned out, he does not want to blame the police or his son's school as he does not know the full facts yet.�But he told TNP that he is thankful to the police officers and Nee Soon GRC MP Louis Ng, who took time to answer his questions and address the family's concerns at his Yishun home.�He said: "The police are trying to make things right and protect young children better in future. This is not only a good thing, but it is necessary.�"The only thing is as a father, it comes too late. I have already lost my son."�

Boutique manager Mercy Goh loves her Pradas as much as her Porsches�

Ms Mercy Goh has a big appetite for power and speed.

�
After her return to Singapore, her dad, a retired managing director of an electronics manufacturing firm, bought her a racy BMW M3. Her current ride is a Porsche Macan S.

The 28-year-old boutique manager likes her cars fast and furious - starting with a Mercedes- Benz SLK roadster that her father bought her when she got her driver's licence in 2006 and then a Toyota Supra sports coupe during her university days in Melbourne.
�
After her return to Singapore, her dad, a retired managing director of an electronics manufacturing firm, bought her a racy BMW M3. Her current ride is a Porsche Macan S.
�
The BMW M3 was Ms Goh's daily drive when she was a public relations executive at Munich Automobiles, dealer for BMW M cars. Back then, she was a regular at track events and often went on night drives with fellow M3 enthusiasts, many of whom were customers who became her friends.
�
Apart from cars, her other love is luxury accessories. Her favourite brands include Hermes, Chanel, Valentino and Yves Saint Laurent. She confesses that she has more luxury handbags and shoes than she can count. "I feel naked and incomplete without my accessories," she says.
�
In March last year, the bachelorette joined luxury online retailer Reebonz.com. A month into her new job, her office was relocated from Tai Seng to Raffles Place.
�
Limited parking space and downtown traffic forced her to give up driving her M3 to work. She takes a taxi or the train instead.
�
As no one in the family wanted to drive the 420bhp racer, she sold it and bought the Porsche crossover.
�
"Even though my parents and my brother have their own cars, the Macan S is a car which the whole family, including my mum, can drive," she says.
Asked why she picked the Macan S and not the entry-level Macan, she replies with a laugh: "I am always late, so a more powerful car can get me to my destination faster."

But she adds quickly and more seriously: "We must be responsible and not abuse what our parents have given us because they can just as easily take it away."
�
When she was younger, she would modify her cars (and sometimes even her father's cars) more extensively, but she has since toned down.
�
"I have learnt to appreciate the car as it is," she says, adding that some past modifications also resulted in electrical problems.
�
For the Macan S, she restricted herself to cosmetic changes, such as respraying the brake callipers and the "Porsche" nameplate pink - her favourite colour.
�
The Macan S has a suitable blend of sportiness and practicality. Ms Goh says it has plenty of room for groceries as well as her dog.
�
And to get more out of the car, she plans to sign up for advanced driving courses which Porsche conducts, including for winter driving.
�
While it would not come as a total surprise if she were to trade in this premium ride for another soon, she says with a grin: "Unfortunately, I can change the handbag that I carry every day, but I cannot change the car that I drive every day."

Good news to all low-wage workers! Quite amazing a MP has said that!!!
�
Outsourcing has depressed wages of many low-wage workers: MP Zainal Sapari
�
�
Labour MPs in Singapore mostly refrain from criticising employers openly, a reflection of the tight three-way partnership between unions, employers and the Government.
�
�
But in a stark departure from the usual congenial tone among the tripartite partners, outspoken labour MP Zainal Sapari has hit out at businesses that have outsourced their work, saying that low-wage workers are hurt in the process.
�
"Outsourcing has led to market failure, contributing to the depression and stagnation of wages of many low-wage workers such as cleaners, security officers to name a few," said Mr Zainal, a National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) assistant secretary-general, in a blog posted on the labour movement's website on Saturday.
�
Cheap outsouring forces contractors to lower their bids to win contracts, and the lower bids mean lower salaries for workers, said Mr Zainal.
He cited his unnamed aunt as an example - the retired carpark warden saw her monthly salary steadily rising from $235 in 1977 to $1,459 in 2005, which is the equivalent of $1,877 today. But carpark enforcement is now outsourced and they earn only $1,000 to $1,200 a month. "Can they earn $1,877? Good luck with that!" he wrote in the blog.
�
Mr Zainal also criticised management guru Peter Drucker who in the 1990s coined the phrase "Do what you do best and outsource the rest". Mr Drucker, who died in 2005, was an advocate of outsourcing as a business strategy, among various management ideas and concepts in a wide body of work that spanned more than 30 books.
�
"Peter Drucker, do you know what you've done?" Mr Zainal wrote. "I wish Peter Drucker had said this instead - 'Do what you do best, outsource the rest but don't outsource your responsibility!' "
�
The blog post on Saturday came two weeks after Mr Zainal called in Parliament for the law to be updated to make it compulsory for employers to follow National Wages Council (NWC) guidelines on pay increases for low-wage workers.
�
If it cannot be made mandatory for all, at least make it so for the cleaning, security and landscape sectors, which hire a large number of low-wage workers, he had said.
�
Since 2012, the NWC has recommended four rounds of pay hikes of at least $50 and $60 for workers earning up to $1,000. But only about six in 10 private sector employers gave low-wage workers earning up to $1,000 a minimum pay hike of $60 in 2014, following the NWC recommendations that year, Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say told Parliament last month. The NWC, which meets annually, is expected to issue its wage recommendations around the middle of this year.

As a Principal, his action is still "supervise" by MOE... who's the Minister then? Did he speak up? No... everyone kept quiet...

��Mr Zainal said the majority of businesses are not "demons exploiting their outsourced workers", but they are willing to stop cheap outsourcing only if their competitors also stop doing so. In a message to these employers, worded with a whiff of sarcasm, he said: "Thanks for the support, guys! But really, how much would it affect your competitiveness given that the costs of buying such services would be very small in relation to total operating costs and rental income received?"�
Mr Zainal also criticised management guru Peter Drucker who in the 1990s coined the phrase "Do what you do best and outsource the rest".

Thank you for sharing sir,
�
for a while I thought��? ? ? ? is interpreted as good blue leg hair.
Now you want them to suddenly increase pay across the board for employees by the hundreds.
Dunnoe what this guy is smoking.
Tell the govt to start first and look at awarding contracts based on quality of work and other measurable standards instead of basing it first and foremost on contract value first.
If not, dun waste everybody's time lah.
