TR Emeritus (TRE) has received disturbing information that Singapore is reportedly hiring Auxiliary Police Officers (APO) off the streets of Malaysia.
The reader who provided the tip-off to TRE confirmed this by sending a photo he took off a street in Malaysia. (right) TRE understands that the only security firms that have licence to employ Auxiliary Police Officer are likely from either Certis Cisco or Aetos.
It’s a well known fact that Singapore Police Force outsources many of its security work exclusively to Cisco and Aetos. Additionally, officers employed by these firms are licensed to carry firearms.
“It is also public knowledge that these armed guards are mainly hired from Malaysia, but, can you trust the quality of such armed guards who are being hired literally off Malaysia’s notorious streets, through job postings put up on Malaysia’s street lamp posts?” the reader commented.
“It’s shocking to see such Singapore job position being advertised on a lamp post in a Malaysia street. The Auxiliary Police Officer position is a rather sensitive job as they do guard sensitive areas in and around Singapore including border security.” he added.
When TRE called the mobile number listed on the poster, it was switched off.
