SINGAPORE: After nearly three decades serving in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Police Commissioner Ng Joo Hee is making a move to head National Water Agency PUB as Chief Executive with effect from Jan 6, 2015. The Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR) announced this in a media release on Wednesday (Oct 15).

His predecessor, Mr Chew Men Leong took over as Chief Executive of the Land Transport Authority earlier this month.

 

The 48-year-old Mr Ng will hold the concurrent appointment of Deputy Secretary (Special Duties) in the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, the release said. He was appointed the Commissioner of Police in 2010 and was Director of the Singapore Prisons Service from 2007 to 2009.

MHA said during Mr Ng's term as police chief, the crime rate in Singapore reached a 30-year low in 2013.

 

 

In a statement, Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean who is also Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs also praised Mr Ng for his "dedication and commitment to keeping Singapore safe and secure in his 29 years with the Singapore Police Force".

 

"During his tour of duty as Commissioner of Police, he has made significant improvements to reduce crime and bring unlicensed money lending under control. He has also introduced various initiatives to increase the effectiveness of the force and to provide our Officers with more capabilities to carry out their duties, such as in Community Policing and the deployment of police cameras in our HDB estates to fight crime," he said.

"Joo Hee has also played an active role to further strengthen the Singapore Police Force's partnership and collaboration with regional and international law enforcement agencies through joint operations and sharing of information to combat transnational crime," DPM Teo added.

NEW COMMISSIONER OF POLICE APPOINTED

  • Mr Hoong Wee Teck will succeed Mr Ng on Jan 6, 2015. He is currently the Deputy Commissioner (Investigations and Intelligence) and Director of the Criminal Investigation Department.

The 51-year-old Mr Hoong has served 27 years in the police force holding various key appointments, including Commander of Bedok Police Division and Director of Police Intelligence.

 

MEN AND WOMEN IN BLUE 'A REAL TREASURE': COMMISSIONER NG

Mr Ng released a statement taking stock of his time in the force so far.

 

  • He also revealed that when he became a police officer 29 years ago, it was simply to get a scholarship to attend Oxford University. "It was never my youthful ambition to become a cop. But I turned out to be a fairly decent policeman and am tremendously privileged and honoured to have been the police commissioner these past five years," he said.

 

 

"My only motivation for coming to work every morning is the grave responsibility that I have for the 12,000 or so hardworking policemen and women in the SPF, and our collective mission for safeguarding public safety in Singapore. Our men and women in blue are a real treasure. Their daily toil often goes unappreciated, but is the stuff that produces the almost miraculous safety-from-crime that we enjoy every day. I only hope that my leadership has been worthy of their hard work and sacrifice."

Can report low crime rate when actually many incidents like fights, unprovoked attacks, go unrecorded, as those involved simply asked to settle it as a "civil" case.

if he is a scholar, then no problem

 

cos scholars are able to lead any type of company/ industry, by virtue of their extraordinary high IQ and hard work ethics in mugging for exams

 

these 2 attributes are the most impt when considering for senior mgt roles

1. To ensure that no riots at Power stations (Senoko, Tuas & Seraya) and all Waterworks & Reserviors by FW.... [sly]

 

2. To ensure you pay your utilities bills in time of which failing to pay will consitute an offence under 'Otang tak baya' Act, and

 

3. ensure utilities tariff stays above average even price of fuel had gone down.
