SINGAPORE — The former Commissioner of Police, Mr Goh Yong Hong, died yesterday (April 10) at age 76.
Mr Goh held the post of Commissioner of Police from 1979 to 1992. His career with the Singapore Police Force (SPF) began in 1961 and spanned 31 years.
During his tenure, Mr Goh held various appointments in police land divisions and the Criminal Investigation Department before becoming the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations) in 1976. He assumed the position of Commissioner of Police in 1979 and held the role for 13 years until his retirement in 1992.
In Mr Goh’s capacity as Commissioner of Police, he oversaw the set up of the Neighbourhood Police Posts in 1983. In 1981, the Neighbourhood Watch Scheme and National Crime Prevention Council were created under his watch.
Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean today offered his condolences to Mr Goh’s family upon hearing his demise, and spoke of his achievements: “Mr Goh Yong Hong served as Commissioner of Police for 13 years. During his time as (Commissioner of Police), he introduced the concept of community policing. I also knew him when he was a Vice President of the Singapore National Olympic Council. He had a deep passion for sports. My deepest condolences to his family during this difficult time,” said Mr Teo.
Commissioner of Police, Mr Hoong Wee Teck, also expressed his sadness on behalf of the entire SPF: “We are saddened by the passing of Mr Goh Yong Hong. He was an exemplary leader who had built a strong foundation of professionalism and community trust for the Force. My officers and I are the fortunate beneficiaries of his legacy, and will continue his work to make Singapore the safest city in the world. We thank Mr Goh for his many contributions to the SPF.”
