Although Singapore has been in circuit breaker mode since Apr. 7, a number of front line workers still have to carry on with their jobs.

One of them is Reema Razif, a Singapore female police officer.

She's no ordinary police officer though.

Still working despite being 30 weeks pregnant

Reema is currently 30 weeks pregnant in her third trimester with her third child, yet she's still "hustling with no complaints".

"Would I like to be at home? Be with my kids? Of course! I too feel worried and anxious. But, selflessness is fulfilling," she wrote in a Facebook post on Apr. 17.

Reema added that she works long and irregular hours to prevent and minimise crime in the country.

Additionally, she has to protect the innocent, render assistance and advice, while being exposed to unpredictable dangers.

And despite having to deal with some public scrutiny, she still remains calm and composed at all times.

Reema ended her post by saying:

"I give my respect especially to all fellow essential frontline workers, my husband & my love to every.single.individual. Let’s be kind, let’s cooperate & This shall be over, soon."
