Title:All in a day's work for men in blue.

This is an idea-driven story. To summarize the story, it is about 2 policemen, SI Tan and Staff Sgt Ridhwan patrol around the blocks to catch some suspicious characters, or answer to resident's calls for help, or when they spot something suspicious and called the police. So on that day, they seem to have many jobs to do, going around checking bags, arresting people, but not for fun, but for the safety for some innocent Singaporeans. Who knows, they might be carrying bombs with them, and one is caught to be an illegal immigrant. At their free time, they go to the blocks where old folks gather and hand them crime prevention phamplets.

I think that they are very hardworking and very committed in their patrol as in that day, they are able to catch a few suspects in one day, and I think that that is quite a feat, as I usually assume that in Singapore, it is very hard to catch criminals. We are able to live in a safe country, all gratitudes towards all the Police Forces, as they catch criminals, suspects or illegal immigrants, day in day out, and never complain about how hard their job is. Staff Sgt Ridhwan ran after a criminal, just to catch him so that he does not hurt others, and he must be very tired by the end of it, but all his effort was fruitful, he caught the criminal. He is very resilient indeed. SI Tan and Sgt Ridhwan caught other suspects during their patrol, that means they are, too, very observant, catching suspects. They also care for the elderly a lot, as if they are not caring, they would not spend their time going to the places where the old folk's visit, and give them phamplets on crime prevention, so as to make sure that they are always under protection.
