A woman took to social media slamming the Singapore Police Force (SPF) after an officer was seen posing next to a dead body that was covered by blue tarp.
In her Facebook post on Tuesday (Jun 28), the woman who went by the name Tracy Lim wrote: “Dear Singapore Police Force, is this how police officers are supposed to treat a deceased? By posing
The woman continued: “That was my auntie lying on the ground, motionless, and decided to take her life. Instead of showing basic respect, this police officer decided it was funny and treated the situation as if it was a happy matter, like he just won a trophy, a game or a prize.
Is a dead body a prize to police officers? Is there no integrity on how a police officer should behave, especially when he is on duty, attending to a case involving casualty?
This is utterly unacceptable and disrespectful to my family and myself and anyone who has been through death in the family.”
Ms Lim confirmed to Coconuts.co that a masked male police officer posed with his hands up in ‘V’ signs next to her deceased auntie while conducting an investigation into her death in Serangoon yesterday evening.
“I took this photo to inform my family members of my aunt’s passing. I didn’t realize that the police officer [posed] in the photo until my [brother] informed me about it,” she said.
They said: “The Police are aware of posts circulating online showing a police officer posing next to a blue tent.
