Help, there's a WWII relic in my backyard!

I must admit, despite the below average acting and mediocre script, I do catch the odd episodes of the current Channel 8 police drama. Just call me a sucker for detective stories. Of course, it's nowhere near CSI.

In case you didn't realise, the People's Action Party controls most aspects of Singaporean life. During the late sixties and early seventies, Lee Kuan Yew told people how many children they should have by implementing the infamous "Stop at Two" policy. Third and fourth children were to be given less priority in education etc etc.
That policy has shaped Singaporean family planning. We now have one of the lowest birth rates globally.

He also told us who we should marry. Concerned that the growing numbers of "lesser educated" will "breed" "less educated" people, he urged men to choose wives who were graduates through the controversial Graduate Mother Scheme.

So it is no surprise that the government even uses entertainment to shape our lives a.k.a propaganda. Channel 8 programmes are laced with Party messages from promoting working women to the maritime industry.
The latest dose is an attempt to promote careers in the Singapore Police Force.
Everyone's favourite ex-Minister Wong Kan Seng had touched on the manpower shortage in the Force. Just like how Mah Bow Tan was "caught offguard", Wong Kan Seng totally let his guard down with the Mas Selamat issue and probably didn't take enough steps to ensure the Force grew sufficiently to match the growing population caused by the large influx of foreigners.
Forget UFO sightings. Dead bodies have been turning up in water tanks and reservoirs.

The recent fracas over the Police handling of the WWII bomb relic found in Sungei Kadut has cast new doubts over our Protectors.
Actually, they pretty much left the handling of the relic to private companies because it was found on private property. Isn't the Police supposed to "uphold the law, maintain order and keep the peace" wherever needed on this island? What if the bomb actually exploded?

Last year, there were a couple of high profile cases of gang activity in Downtown East and Bukit Panjang.
Do you actually know that regular police officers have no power to force gangs congregating at void decks to disperse? They can only "advise" them to move away. This is confirmed by one of the Staff Sergeants at Choa Chu Kang NPC.

While I salute the men and women who work the ground, the senior officers making decisions ought to relook their strategies and priorities.
Is it sound strategy to dispatch bus loads of officers to halt a peaceful 2-man rally but not offer assistance when an unexploded bomb is found?
