SCDF to have new
commissioner
Commissioner of the Singapore Civil Defence Force, James Tan,
will retire on May the 20th, after 42 years of service with SAF and
SCDF.
Deputy Commissioner Peter Benedict Lim Sin Pang, will take over
from him.
A Home Affairs Ministry statement said under Commissioner Tan’s
leadership, SCDF has transformed itself into one of the world's
leading emergency response organisations.
Commissioner Tan was also the driving force in introducing an
“innovation culture” to the SCDF.
Notable examples include the Hazardous Materials Transport
Vehicle Tracking and Immobiliser Systems, which prevents vehicles
transporting hazardous materials from being used as Weapons of Mass
Destruction.
