The Ministry of Home Affairs has officially announced a new prefixed number for police calls, acknowledging that Singaporeans currently possess the survival instincts of a suicidal hamster.

Minister Goh Pei Ming confirmed that because Sinkies are incapable of hanging up on a deep-faked official in a TikTok filter, the government must now hold their hands like toddlers in a crowded mall.

The new "Not A Scam, Bro" prefix will ensure that even the most blur citizens can distinguish between a legitimate officer and a guy in a basement in Cambodia pretending to be the Commissioner.

Insiders suggest the prefix will likely be '007-GULLIBLE', providing a comforting beacon of authority for people who think the SPF handles urgent investigations via iTunes gift cards.

If this fails, the MHA plans to install a shock collar on every Singaporean that triggers whenever they hear the words "unpaid tax" or "police transfer."
