A police superintendent has been charged after he allegedly consumed alcohol and drove a car in a dangerous manner along Tampines Avenue 5 in February 2024.




Chan Hee Keong, 51, also allegedly stopped the car for longer than normal at a junction in Bedok North and on the PIE towards Tuas.

Chan, who is the head of operations and intelligence at the Police Security Command, according to the Singapore Government Directory, was charged on Feb 6 with multiple offences, including drink driving.

According to court documents, he was driving a car when he allegedly caused it to become stationary at a junction near Block 218 Bedok North Street 1 around 11.40pm on Feb 23, 2024.


He is accused of likely causing inconvenience to other road users by doing so.

Almost an hour later, Chan allegedly drove in and out of a lane, and almost collided with another car along Tampines Avenue 5, towards Xilin Avenue.

He is also accused of driving at speeds of up to 93kmh there, even though the limit was 70kmh.

Chan is said to have caused the car to become stationary again along the PIE towards Tuas on the morning of Feb 24, 2024.

This likely caused inconvenience to other road users.

He was also allegedly found to have at least 67 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath – almost double the prescribed limit of 35mcg of alcohol in the same amount of breath.

Chan’s case will be mentioned again in court in March.




The police said that officers swiftly started their investigation against Chan when they found out about the case.

A police spokesperson added: “Officers of the Singapore Police Force are expected to uphold the law and maintain the highest standards of conduct.

“We deal accordingly with officers who break the law, including charging them in court...

“We are unable to comment further (on this case), as court proceedings are ongoing.”

For drink driving, a first-time offender can be jailed for up to a year and fined up to $10,000.

A repeat offender can be jailed for up to two years and fined up to $20,000

all these pap people must be punished to the fullest extent of the law

 

[True Believer]

Remember Alvin Kek, the former COO of SMRT Trains, who was convicted of drink driving in 2018? He was sentenced to 2 weeks in jail, a $4,000 fine and a three-year driving ban. He was also an ex-SAF Colonel who was parachuted into SMRT to be part of the leadership of the blind, leading the blind.

Why no sack?

 

[True Believer]

U think suspension or sack?

In Alvin Kek's case, he was not fired, but merely demoted and re-designated as senior vice-president of rail operations from COO. He also forfeited his 2019 annual bonus. This was after 2 convictions for drunk driving, so SMRT was more than generous to this former Colonel. He should have been working in KFC after his convictions, and not SMRT. Then he would have been known as "Colonel Sanders".

 

[True Believer]

Why no sack?

Alvin Kok eventually left SMRT. I guess before he received the sack.

He still c-1 at smrt

 

[True Believer]

He still c-1 at smrt

I stand corrected. I was misled by a report that Alvin Kek was the "former COO of SMRT Trains". He was only demoted, but not fired because he has friends in high places.

 

[riceberry]

U think suspension or sack?

best is punish him by hanging

 

[rocket]

best is punish him by hanging

Don't need to hang lah. Just lock him with gin and k1976 for 3months

 

[Pinkieslut]

did he drink with beautiful ATB or Vietbu?

 

[Narong Wongwan]

Gong cheebyes pls dun think such cases show that pap is fair and just and that’s no coverup.
Fact of the matter these chaps pissed off someone high up and are getting fixed.

 

[rocket]

did he drink with beautiful ATB or Vietbu?

Maybe both

 

[laksaboy]

Looks like Ong Ye Kung's gay buddy.

There will be a slap on the wrist with a fine to make Coolie Gene Sinkies believe there is law and order in SG.... and then move on. He would be rewarded with a post in GLC later.

Probably fell asleep at the traffic lights.

Probably fell asleep at the traffic lights.

Too seh to continue driving

 

[Loofydralb]

Looks like damage control is in the works for this officer. As normal protocol would call for an officer under a court case to be under suspension and job reassignment. Doesn't bode well that justice in Singapore isn't blind.

I predict no jail time and only a light fine, with lame excuses like personal family problems, sick family members, health issues, stressful heavy work responsibilities, or maybe simply his dog's grandmother is pregnant.

 

[Willamshakespear]

Ultimately, Singapore is a Rule of Law Nation....

Whatever law he had broken, he WILL be charged ACCORDINGLY, NO EXCUSES, as Mr Loofydralb had spoken. Drunk driving is a SERIOUS matter & should never be taken lightly, as it will cost lost lives to innocents using transportation roads. Fortunately none of such happened & he was apprehended before harm could had ben done, with much thanks to our traffic controllers...

However, a charge in Court, WILL NEVER undermine the performances, KPI, etc of a person. Mr Chan had spent YEARS, IN DEDICATION, & proven successful in his job & to our Nation, proven thru his promotion from a mere cadet to today as director, no mean feat for lesser dedicated anyone. No matter the excuses, he is still one of us, & may he learn from this episode, to progress & evolve far better than before.

No Human is perfect, but only flawed & only thru mistakes does one progress. The most dangerous person on Earth, let alone Singapore, is the one that presumes himself PERFECT, whom presume himself of making NO mistakes, but eventually, as ALL Humanity are flawed, when mistakes minor or deadly happens, whatever one stress is going thru, that Human will be at lost to handle it, & WILL only make FURTHER mistakes compounded that will harm all....
