Officer’s death will be thoroughly investigated to retain confidence in police force: Shanmugam
SINGAPORE - The circumstances surrounding Sergeant Uvaraja Gopal’s death will be thoroughly investigated to retain confidence in the police force, said Home Affairs and Law Minister K. Shanmugam.
Speaking to reporters at Sgt Uvaraja’s wake on Sunday, which he attended in his capacity as an MP for Nee Soon GRC, Mr Shanmugam noted that 40 per cent of police officers are from minority races.
The police know they will lose the confidence of the people if they do not investigate such cases thoroughly and bring any offences to light, he said.
He was responding to a question on how minorities will be better protected in the police force, following Sgt Uvaraja’s death on Friday and his Facebook post alleging he had been bullied at the workplace by his superiors and racially abused by his team members.
Sgt Uvaraja, 36, was found lying motionless at the foot of Block 393 Yishun Avenue 6 on Friday evening, and was unconscious when he was taken to hospital, where he died. The police do not suspect foul play.
Among other allegations, Sgt Uvaraja said he had been denied transfers within the police force, and had sought help but did not receive any.
The police are currently investigating these allegations, and on Friday said they were aware of the challenges Sgt Uvaraja faced, and had extended help to him.
Mr Shanmugam said the purpose of his visit on Sunday was to bring closure to Sgt Uvaraja’s grieving family members.
After the funeral is over, the authorities will provide them with support and explain the issues they will need to deal with following his death, he added.
Mr Shanmugam said Sgt Uvaraja’s family was unaware of his situation. “The brothers, the mother, father, they hadn’t realised a lot of things. So I spent some time talking to them and explained, so I think they have a better understanding,” he added.
The minister declined to elaborate further on what he shared with the family, and would say only that this should be kept private for now. He noted that he was accompanying Mr Derrick Goh, who oversees Nee Soon Link ward and is Sgt Uvaraja’s MP, and that it is normal for MPs to attend wakes in their constituencies.
While Sgt Uvaraja’s family declined to speak to reporters, two of his childhood friends – who wanted to be known only as Raj, 34, and Citran, 36 – said he had always wanted to be a police officer.
“He’s a very quiet guy and not the type to go and find trouble,” said Mr Citran, who was his primary school friend.

"Horrible memories" shared by ex-SPF officer Fauzella Sahabdin
Iris Koh: No wreaths from SPF for officer Gopal?
Neighbours of Deceased SPF Officer Disclose Further Details on Incident
The deceased SPF officer’s neighbours have since weighed in on the incident, disclosing more details about the officer’s life and death.
According to interviews conducted by 8world, he was wearing a police uniform when witnesses found him at the foot of the block.
One neighbour, who stays on the same floor as the deceased, shared that on the fateful afternoon of the officer’s death, the officer had told him: “Tell others that you have a good neighbour.”
Of course, this left the SPF officer’s neighbour in quite some confusion. It wasn’t until the neighbour subsequently learnt of the officer’s death that he understood what the officer had said to him.
SPF Officer’s Wife Allegedly Left Home for Four Months
8world also managed to interview the neighbourhood’s “loremaster,” so to speak.
The neighbour revealed that the SPF officer was often heard quarrelling with his wife, who, according to the neighbour, did not seem like an “easygoing” person.
At one point, the officer’s wife even left home for four months after a huge quarrel.
Neighbours of SPF Officer Shared Their Impressions of Him
Neighbours of the SPF officer also shared with 8world their impressions of the officer.
Several adjectives were thrown around by the officer’s neighbours to describe him—considerate, introverted, and even gloomy.
Well, the gloominess is understandable in the context of the Facebook post.
One neighbour talked about how the SPF officer would greet acquaintances whenever he bumped into them in the vicinity. Others shared that they had little to no impression of him as they hardly exchanged words.
All that aside, we’re sure that most neighbours’ impressions of the SPF officer changed after reading about his plight on Facebook.
The SPF has since been instructed by Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.
Hopefully as thorough, or even more thorough, than the Ridout Road investigations…
“We have a clear policy of non discrimination. All officers are entitled to be treated fairly. SPF as an organisation is committed to that principle. We will investigate the facts,” Shanmugam added.
