PM Lee Hsien Loong receiving the Temasek Sword – the highest honour bestowed by the Singapore Police Force – from Commissioner of Police Hoong Wee Teck.

There were more than 100 guests at the event, including Minister for Home Affairs K. Shanmugam, who told reporters that the event had been planned before the April 15 announcement. “The men and women in blue always knew that PM Lee had their backs in their fight against crime and to keep law and order in Singapore.”DC How noted the Prime Minister had spoken then about two areas that the police must never neglect.

DC How said that 10 years on, the public’s trust in the police has remained high, and that the force has also invested heavily in technology and developed new capabilities.“The visits which PM Lee made to the SPF on Christmas Eve in 2013 after the Little India riot, and on the eve of Chinese New Year in 2019 during a challenging period with our neighbour, uplifted our morale when we needed it most.
