Little India riot COI: T-batons, revolvers are for defensive use, say police officers

The T-batons, revolvers and shields carried by police officers on patrol are meant for defensive use, and this is why they were not used to attack the crowd of active rioters in Little India on Dec 8 last year. In addition, the officers had not felt that their lives were in direct danger.

Three officers who were among the first responders at the scene of the riot told the Committee Of Inquiry on Wednesday that while they are trained in "peace time" crowd control management, they are not trained to handle a large-scale mob.

"Maybe if one of them approach me with a plank of wood, or a rock in his hand, I would feel obliged to draw the T-baton," said Special Constable Sergeant Abdul Aziz Abdul Khalid on Wednesday. The full-time national serviceman was the partner of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Jonathan Tang, the first senior officer at the scene. Added ASP Edwin Yong, 28, who was the second senior officer to the scene: "We do not use (T-batons) to attack people. We have to move forward to swing and move back later - the range is quite short."

As a result, the T-baton was not used even when the authorities were being challenged by the rioters to do so. Full-time national serviceman, Special Constable Corporal Arshard Abdul Murad said a foreign worker had challenged him to "take out my T-baton to hit the people in the crowd, but I declined to do so".
