Police & Thief (also spelled as Police and Thief) was a Singaporean sitcom that aired on MediaCorp Channel 5 from 2004 to 2010. It was also the third and final locally produced English sitcom after Under One Roof and Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd. This sitcom was also similar in concept with the Mediacorp Channel 8 Chinese Sitcom known as Family Combo, where both neighbours who are fathers couldn't get along well and are always quarrelling with each other, being Moses Lim and Johnny Ng respectively, and coincidentally, Glenn Wong was also involved in this chinese sitcom either. Moreover, the comedy duo, being Suhaimi Yusof and Mark Lee, would later collaborate again and starred alongside together in Jack Neo movies Long Long Time Ago, Long Long Time Ago 2, The Diam Diam Era and The Diam Diam Era Two.
Plot
[edit]Sgt Dollah Abu Bakar is a single-father and police officer whose neighbour Lee Tok Kong is a former gangster and currently a barber and hairstylist. Both neighbours and their families live beside each other at a Toa Payoh HDB flat located at Blk 233, Toa Payoh Lorong 8. The two constantly bicker but they also help each other's families out on a couple of occasions. Besides, the both of them have been living together side by side for many years and could also be good friends towards each other if they don't quarrel, just like their children whom are also good friends as well. When Sgt Dollah remarries Haslindah in Season 4, she also became good friends with Tok Kong's wife named Lily Lee as well. This suggests that both family neighbours could really get along well when there isn't any misunderstandings. The sitcom had its 6th and final season aired in March 2010.
