Such telephone calls are notoriously easy to hide, I mean hard to find, if perhaps the person at the council who received that call(s) didn't actually transfer it through to the correct extension in the EMSU office!

Difficult and tedious, yeah. But impossible?

The paranoid android in me wonders whether the neighbours got talked into doubting they ever made the calls...

"Eh, you sure you made the calls? Or is it one call? WHEN was it? What day? What time? Eh, you cannot lie one, okay, this one very serious one. So, was it only ONE call? Or 2? 3? You don't remember? Who you speak to ah? You don't remember his name? You sure or not - HUH???!"

That's what I'm thinking too. Were they interviewed or interrogated?

I hope they are not saying it is the neighbours' fault for not calling the Town Council, thus causing the little girl to fall through the gap.

It is beginning to sound familiar. When Mas Selamat escaped from the detention centre, it was Singaporean's fault, with MHO only guilty of a lapse in security. When two people died from eating indian rojak, it had nothing to do with the Geylang Serai Town Council or the NEA, it was the people's fault for not ensuring cleanliness. If only this had happened in an opposition ward, the opposition MPs and Town Councils involved would have been roasted to ashes.

Good idea! It has got to be the people's fault. These complacent people took safety for granted.

It's not that call tracing is difficult. It'll be extremely easy if you threatened an MP or you're related to the Chees.

That's true also.
