Today publishesEx-Singaporean Gopalan Nair arrestedThis is the part that puzzles me:"The spokesman said plainclothes officers on routine anti-crime operations in the area heard a loud knock on their vehicle after stopping at the traffic light.They saw an Indian man walking away. When the officers identified themselves and interviewed the person, he became abusive and refused to furnish his particulars, saying he is an American citizen and the Police has no right to check on him.Despite repeated warnings to stop his verbal abuse, including a racist slur against one of the Malay officers, he continued to be uncooperative and persisted in his abuse. "Puzzling questions that ran through my mind:Now why would an Indian man out of the blue knock on the police vehicle? Did the police officers see the Indian man knock on the vehicle? Could it be another person?How come so 'zun' (coincidentally accurate in Hokkein) that it 'happened' to be Goplan Nair?Did the Indian man had sudden revalations from divine above that the car was a police car and knocked on the car to confirm?If anyone had knocked on my car, I wouldn't be the least concern as long as the car was not damaged. Neither do I need to identify myself as a police officer and interview him.And why did the Indian man (if it was indeed Goplan Nair) insult the Malay officer with a racist slur? I mean he's already out of bail, why does he want to have a civil charge against him?Of course when you don't have the full picture, one tend to over-exaggertate. Enjoy my 'conspiracy' theories:They were 'subtlely' following Goplan Nair and were discovered. This got them infuriated and decided that Goplan needed to pay for exposing their 'stake-out'. (If only they were so vigilent towards Mas Selamat.)The Indian man needed help, knocked on the car to call for assistance but got the arrest instead.The knocks on the police car were big dents. How was the driver ever going to return back to the police station? Oh, he knows the number of forms he had to fill for the car damages during operational duty.The police car following Goplan nearly knocked him down. He was furious. Knocked on the car and demanded an explanation. Got arrested instead.One of the officers showed Goplan the #1 sign with his finger while driving by. Goplan retaliated.One of the officers shouted, "Damn Yankies". Goplan retored with a racial slur.I don't know... there seems to be bits of disconnect all over.As usual I will be fed with bits of disjointed information. Soon enough a whole big story consisting of bits and pieces will be revealed. It will be so ludicrous that I can even believe 'pigs fly'.
