We&#8217;re dealing with people who deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, SI Ramdzan added that it was the reaction from his own wife who touched him the most.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She actually laughed and said she was proud of me. She could see that I tried to put those fishermen at ease while still making my point clear,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>In their post, SPF lauded his approach, which &#8220;wasn&#8217;t just about enforcement&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was about building trust, one interaction at a time. Sometimes the most powerful moments happen when duty meets humanity. Kudos to SI Ramdzan and his team!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/100064761068356\/posts\/1270664471768910\/?rdid=6TPHIjhHjeaL58Mr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/100064761068356\/posts\/1270664471768910\/?rdid=6TPHIjhHjeaL58Mr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[[nid:721616]]<\/p>\n<p>candicecai@asiaone.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/singapore\/abang-police-singapore-coast-guard-malaysian-fishermen-touched-response-tiktok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a heartwarming exchange which went viral, and not something Station Inspector (SI) Ramdzan had expected.\u00a0 A Malaysian fishing boat had accidentally drifted into&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1864,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14265\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
