Today I sit in my chair,posting this post and musing about life.i am a fan of Albert Einstein but I hate him for proving that the Theory of Relativity is true.Imagine,when i’m playing games,after a short time(to me)but long time on the clock,I feel that I have been cheated.Yet when in school,time goes so slowly that i’m sure that someone up there is deliberately manipulating time according to my likes and dislikes.Why must time be like that?In wikipedia,time is defined as ‘a component of a measuring system used to sequence events, to compare the durations of events and the intervals between them, and to quantify the motions of objects. ‘.I would have written more about time but my time limit

The Incorrect/Correct uses of 999
July 10, 2008 by mattimiasY’see,i had a talk from some policemen about the correct uses of 999.What happens when you call 999?As seen on the website of the Singapore Police Force,A Police Officer will answer the call with the words “Police Emergency, Good Morning etc”. Their main function is to receive 999 calls and dispatch police staff to incidents. The call centres is operated by police officers who are specially trained to handle emergency calls from the public.
It is the police officer responsibility to ensure patrols are notified of the incident as quickly as possible, and to also notify other services, including fire and ambulance if needed.
Information you should provide to a Police Officer:
-
Try and be as calm as possible – this will help the police get the help to you.
- The address of the incident including the house number, street name and nearest landmark. Don’t assume the police know where you are calling from.
- A general description of the situation as this determines the Police response to that incident.
- Tell the police if any weapons are involved.
Each type of incident requires a certain line of questioning from the Police Officer to get the right information for police who may attend – for safety and efficiency.
999 Call Takers are rostered into shifts and the service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
You should only call 999 only when you are in an emergency.Cases like:you’ve locked yourself out of the house.You should call a locksmith to open your door.Emergencies can include:
- a crime is in progress;
- someone suspected of committing a crime is close by, or you know where the person is;
- a further crime might be committed;
- Someone has been seriously injured or is in danger.
- When you observe suspicious characters, incidents or suspicious parcels left at public areas.
Some examples of this are:-
- You see someone breaking into your neighbour’s house
- You see someone behaving suspiciously near a shop
- You witness to a hit and run traffic accident
- You noticed someone behaving suspiciously near to a car and the alarm is activated
- You witness a fight and / or someone is injured
- A person or people is/are seriously injured or in danger
- There is a serious risk to life or property
- You saw an unattended bag in the MRT
- When any of the above is happening now or has just happened
A Police Officer will answer the call with the words “Police Emergency, Good Morning etc”.
Their main function is to receive 999 calls and dispatch police staff to incidents. The call centres is operated by police officers who are specially trained to handle emergency calls from the public.

999 Call Takers are rostered into shifts and the service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The incorrect uses of 999:
- “What bus goes to Jurong”
- “Can you put me through to lost and found section”
- “Can you tell me if there is still a jam at Woodlands Checkpoint”
- “I have had a power black out and I have no candles”
- “I need a ride home to Tampines, can you pick me up”
- “Can you recommend me a good lawyer”
- “I’ve locked myself out of my house, Can you give me a locksmith contact number”
If you are in a situation that seems worrying but not too serious(violence,wielding of weapons,etc),check this list from the SPF website.
You see,every 7 calls out of 10 are nuisance calls.They include prank calls and obscene calls.It is an offence for the abusing and/or misusing of 999.
Under the Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act Chapter 184 ,it is an offence to make nuisance calls and offender can be fined up to $20,000 and jailed up to 5 years.
|
Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act Chapter 184 Making of harassing or obscene telephone calls to emergency telephone numbers (2) Any person who makes a telephone call to an emergency telephone number and, upon the call being answered, makes or solicits any comment, request, suggestion, proposal or other comment, request, suggestion, proposal or other communication or sound which is obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy or indecent, shall be guilty of an offence and, subject to subsection (3), shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 years or to both. (3) Any person who uses a public telephone to commit an offence — (a) under subsection (1) shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years or to both; and (b) under subsection (2) shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $20,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years or to both. |
So you see,it is very dangerous to misuse 999!
I am thinking that the offences are too soft.Wasting the time of the police who sacrifice their lives to help us,preventing emergency calls from getting through.What will you think of those who misuse 999 if your relative/s get hurt or even killed because of this?Think again before you make that call(allye who make prank calls).It could save lives because you didn’t do it.
Kudos to the WONDERFUL website of the SPF!Thanks for their info!!
