She has never flinched from a difficult job, having joined the police force in 1954, becoming one of only four women in her batch of special constables then.

One of her roles as a police constable was to monitor unruly school students at a school.

“They were very naughty and fought among themselves all the time.

“For example, when they were given a meal, they would throw the bowls on the floor,” she said, adding that the students were suspected to be gang members.

“There were times when these students would run to hide in the jungle and I would go out and haul them back to school,” she added.
