Socio-political news website The Online Citizen (TOC) and the Singapore Police Force (SPF) had a run-in this week.
The story: An allegation from a person who wrote to TOC that police officers accused her 80-year-old wheelchair-bound father of stealing a motorcycle.
The incident happened on January 17 this year.
Here's the sequence of what happened in chronological order, based on the exchange between TOC and the police:
January 17, 2017:
1) TOC's Chief editor Terry Xu receives an emailed complaint from a reader they called "Alice".
According to the report they ran on March 16, the details in summary are:
- A newspaper delivery man asked the complainant's father (who is 80, and wheelchair-bound from a stroke) if he could leave his motorcycle in the latter's front lawn. He agreed.
- According to the reader, three policemen then showed up, allegedly accusing him of stealing the motorbike.
- The reader added that her father claimed the police officers asked him to go to the police station to make a statement, but he refused.
- The officers then left the man's house with the motorcycle.
2) According to a screenshot of an email he sent to the SPF's Feedback Unit, Xu forwarded it to them, seeking comment, at 6:42pm that day:

3) TOC runs the story as-is, here. In it, he added:
"The Online Citizen wrote to Singapore Police Force (SPF) on the same day to enquire about the incident, but two months after, SPF has yet given a reply on the matter.
Alice replied to TOC in a follow up query, Lol. 'If the police do reply, they are brave. It is terribly embarrassing for them, in my opinion. I am still laughing at the idiocy of the incident. Better than dumb and dumber. Lol.'"
