Sometimes, you see something on Facebook that makes you wonder what the person who posted it was thinking when they decided to do so.

In cases like that of one Thomas Chua, though, bothering to contemplate the above is an exercise in futility.

Chua, who identifies himself to be a flight attendant at Singapore Airlines, took to his Facebook profile to post two videos of the late police officer Nadzrie Bin Matin at the scene where he met with an accident with a van near Serangoon Road.

This, specifically after the police put out an appeal to the public to avoid circulating the graphic images of the young man at the scene.

Not only did he defy this request, he also felt it appropriate to post the following remarks:

It says:

"Wow Police act so great intimidate also must die ......in the end all Police also will die like everyone in funeral parlour so don't intimidate just because you a f**king intimidating police. Police the most rewarding"

In a follow up comment to his post, he also had this to say:

"Think become police can show off good lah die also in the end like any other civilian. Last time this same TP gave me a ticket because he deem my driving skills no good enough look what happen to him. So don't think just because you become Police you can break the law show off action somemore. In the end death all must die also regardless u r a police officer or just a layman."

These comments made Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam so mad he took to his Facebook page to condemn what Chua said:

"Thomas Chua's sick post on Police Officer Nadzrie Matin

_____________________________________________

I was deeply upset and angry about a gloating post that one Thomas Chua has made on Police Officer Nadzrie's death. Nadzrie died while on duty.

Thomas was gloating about Nadzrie's death, because Nazdrie had given him a ticket!

People like Thomas are sick in the head. No decency or any sense of right and wrong.

What is a TP officer to do when someone breaks the law? It is because of officers like Nadzrie that the rest of us have safety and security.

Thomas's comments are an insult to all police officers, and deeply offensive to Nadzrie's family .

You wonder what human decency people like Thomas have — to be so self-centred, smug and making nasty remarks about an officer who died doing his duty. While there is a completely distraught wife, grieving parents and family, and teammates who are crying."

Sigh.

Meanwhile, Singapore Airlines has been kept busy on Saturday afternoon assuring hordes of angry Facebook users taking to their Facebook page in protest that Chua is not an employee of theirs.
