Policeman turned loanshark: 16 years for Police and CPIB to close case

Another policeman has betrayed the public trust placed in the hands of law enforcers. Former decorated CID policeman, Zhu Fu Liang, with the rank of Staff Sgt conveniently converted himself into a loanshark or Ah Long when he was still in service!

To make matters worse, the authorities drag their feet for 16 years before bringing him to justice while they were fully aware of his crime! It was even revealed in court that his financiers were his former police colleagues. They have been dealt with 15 years ago.

The incompetence of Police, CPIB and AGC was highlighted when the defence lawyer said that the accused has been in Singapore all along. He worked in various jobs and did not leave country as his passport was taken away. He even asked about updates on his pending case, but the authorities never gave him a clear answer for 16 years!

As a policeman that knowingly broke the law by being a loanshark, the accused was convicted and fined $50,000...no jail for this lucky chap. So how many more crooked cops are still lurking in their blue uniforms?
