Phew, I’ve just finished bathing and it’s 4am in the morning~
Please pray that I don’t catch a cold, let me tell you what happened.

On 9 Oct, two plain clothes police came to my home at around 11pm.
At around 11:10pm, I called to postpone the appointment time from 11am to 8pm.
The reason I gave was I have to work till 6pm and would need an hour for dinner as well as another hour for travelling.
I’m not jobless as how the PAP IBs always lied about but I’m not sure if I’m gonna lose my job soon after today.

I consulted my lawyer with regards to the letter and was advised to have the appointment in the afternoon.
On 10 Oct, I reached the police station at 2pm but waited till 2:30pm for the interrogation to start till around 10pm.
No dinner was being served during the 8 hours interrogation from 2pm to 10pm.

The police asked me to go for dinner at 5pm in which I asked how long more the interrogation would take.
They replied that if I were to go for dinner, the interrogation will end past midnight until the next day morning.
So I chose to continue the interview instead and the police said that the interview will end in half an hour’s time every single time I asked from 5pm onwards.

I went for three toilet breaks at 4:20pm, 5:40pm and 7:00pm.
It was very cold in there and my bladder was shrinking, go stand outside the police station and look at the layers of clothes they are wearing.
It’s a waste of taxpayers’ money and they are not saving power, energy or being environmental friendly at all.
Do blasting air-con and making people plead guilty bring justice?
No, you’re just torturing people in order to get the answer you want so as to submit to your “boss” to fulfil your KPI.

At 7pm, the police asked me to go for dinner.
I asked how long more it will take, she said in half an hour’s time again.
At 8pm, I asked when the interrogation will end and the police said she wants to have dinner.
She printed out the statements and told me to sign.

After signing at around 9pm, she took them away together with my notebook.
It’s a paper notebook, not a computer notebook.
I called my lawyer the moment she seized my book but she said I’m not allowed access to legal counsel.
I was not being detained and the notebook contains information that I will be giving to my lawyer for my legal defence.

There were like 300 questions on papers that I’ve gotta sign, just imagine all the other questions that were being asked, it’s insane.
Now I understand why there are so many people mad with the use of disgusting political tools.
Did you join the police force to bring justice or to be a puppet?
Are you bringing shame to your uniform or do you feel proud of what you’ve done?
I was 33kg when I went in and now I’m 32.5kg #ReturnMyNotebook #ReturnMyMass

Back to the interrogation, first with filling of particulars then to give a background of what happened, it’s like you’ve got the ISD and all the videos so what else do you want?
You want me to lose 500g then hopefully starve and make me faint in there?
Seriously, you gotta #ReturnMyNotebook the notebook contains personal record that was prepared so that I would have accurate details of the matters in question for my lawyer.
Unreasonably, the notebook that was seized by Inspector Wong Yu Wei since 10 Oct 9pm has yet to be returned, this deprives me of privileged legal communication with my lawyer.

In the end, she lost her cool when she wanted to go for dinner and told me to come another day but I said I want to finish the interrogation.
So she snatched and seized my notebook =.=

The police didn’t tell me what they were investigating and those people in parliament have so much to say about it.
As for the opposition who spoke up against us, it’s bad enough that you are not doing anything to help younger generation like us and you’re here to criticise?

When things were successful and going well, no credit was given to me.
Fine, go ahead and take them.
Now that things are bad, I get all the blames.
No worry, I am responsible and I won’t behave as cowards like you do.

Just because you can’t sue me for defamation over the words I say so you’re gonna use other method of political persecution?
You expect me to respect you?

Threatening me, suing me and whatever you do to me will not change the fact that you’re bad.
It only proves for fact you’re bad.
