Singapore Traffic Police Gets New Commander, June 07

Senior Assistant Commissioner Serene Chiu has taken over as commander of Singapore’s Traffic Police. She replaces Senior Assistant Commissioner Daniel Tan, who became chief executive of the Gambling Regulatory Authority on June 2. The leadership transition marks a shift in the force’s top ranks as the police manage rising public safety concerns.

New Commander Takes the Helm

Serene Chiu now leads Singapore’s Traffic Police after Tan’s departure to the Gambling Regulatory Authority. The Singapore Police Force announced the change on June 6. Chiu assumes command during a period when the force is handling multiple public safety issues across the city.

Tan Moves to Gambling Authority

Daniel Tan left his traffic police post on June 2 to become chief executive of the Gambling Regulatory Authority. His move reflects Singapore’s focus on regulating the gaming sector. The transition happened as the police continued their regular operations.

Police Tackle Concert Ticket Scams

The traffic police command change comes as Singapore’s police force handles at least 14 scam cases tied to BTS concert tickets. Scammers approached victims through social media platform X, with at least SGD 11,000 lost since June 1. The police urged the public to buy tickets only from authorised platforms like Ticketmaster and to download the ScamShield app for protection.

Road Safety Remains a Priority

Under Chiu’s leadership, the Traffic Police will continue managing road safety across Singapore. Recent incidents include a taxi-car collision near Marina Square on May 26 that injured a 29-year-old woman and her nine-month-old daughter. Both were taken to hospital conscious, with the car driver assisting investigations.

Final Thoughts

Serene Chiu’s appointment as traffic police commander reflects Singapore’s ongoing leadership transitions. Her tenure begins as the force tackles fraud cases and road safety challenges across the island.
