more on the white elephants of Singapore - police rush to justify their actions
See this article in Today. The police statement says "the Police must be fair and transparent at all times and not investigate cases selectively". Since someone complained, they must investigate. But their statement is a bit misleading, as the Police must always be making choices of what resources to put into what investigations. As Charles Chong, MP for the district in question said, surely there are more important cases out there?
UPDATE Sept 9: Others are questioning this logic too. See this letter to Today. And Lianhe Zaobao reports that it was SMRT Corporation that filed the complaint. Boo hiss!!Technorati Tags: public art, Singapore
