The police of Singapore posted a sharp warning against hoax calls to its emergency inbound call center. The notice comes in four languages (English, Chinese, Tamil and Malay) and is expected to protect the local police from the false call incidents that have spread all over the country. According to the statistics, last year about 1.05 million of 1.62 million incoming police calls were nothing but hoaxes. Many warning posters will be put in primary schools and preschools to prevent prank calls among children. Singapore police stated that infringers abusing the hotline would be sentenced to a year imprisonment, a fine or both.
