# List of Singapore police officers killed in the line of duty

1°19′27.56″N 103°50′43.24″E﻿ / ﻿1.3243222°N 103.8453444°E﻿ / 1.3243222; 103.8453444
This is a list of police officers from the Singapore Police Force who were killed in the line of duty, based on official records from the year 1900 to date. Line of duty deaths refers to any police officer who has died while carrying out duty which he is obligated and/or authorised to carry out. This would include officers who respond to incidents while off-duty as obligated by the Police Force Act, as well as those commuting to and from their place of duty or training.
The Singapore establishment generally avoids personalising or glorifying acts of personal sacrifice in contemporary Singaporean society, and this applies to the police force as well. There had been no public memorial or monument dedicated to police officer deaths until the opening of the Police Heritage Centre in the Police Headquarters at New Phoenix Park on 15 August 2002, where a Commemorative Gallery features a wall inscribed with the names of all fallen officers. Although open to the public, access to the centre is restricted via an appointment-only policy. There are otherwise no readily accessible published lists of all fallen officers' names whether in print or electronically.
Fallen officers are, however, honoured and commemorated through ceremonies or functions, such as a one-minute silence observed during the annual Police Day Parade. Police funerals featuring a flag draped casket, a three-volley salute, and a procession, amongst other elements, may be organised depending on the circumstance of death. Most funerals in recent years are much simpler affairs, partly as many of these deaths are attributed to accidents, but many of these ceremonies still receive local media coverage. Other ways of commemoration may include posthumous promotions and the awarding of state medals; there has been seven posthumous promotions and two posthumous Police Medal of Valour awardees since the 1990s.

### Victims' Profile

The average age of slain police officers is 29.3 years of age, excluding 62 officers whose age were not reported. The highest number of casualties were in the 21–25 age band, making up 31.7% amongst officers whose age were reported, followed closely by those in the 26–30 age band, who make up 28.3%. While relative inexperience may be a factor, the generally young profile of police officers in Singapore and their greater probability of facing operational danger as frontline officers may also contribute to their premature deaths.

The ethnic profile of police officers has been traditionally disproportionate compared to the national ethnic profile, with a significantly higher proportion of ethnic Malays especially in the earlier decades. However, the number of casualties involving ethnic Chinese police officers are statistically higher overall due in part to the high mortality rates involving the ethnic Chinese community during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore in the 1940s, and they make up 60.7% of total deaths.

Lim, who was involved in a few previous armed robberies and two non-fatal shootings of police officers, later noticed the three policemen and confronted them at gunpoint, demanding the corporal to hand over his revolver. When Koh refused to, during a struggle, Lim shot Koh in the chest. Despite being injured, Koh fired back but missed Lim. Lim then fired back point blank, aiming the shot at Koh's forehead, leading to Koh dying from the headshot. Lim later fled after a shoot-out with Koh's two other colleagues. The coroner's report later concluded and classified Koh's death as murder. Koh was married with two children at the time of his death. Lim was then placed on the wanted list for Corporal Koh's murder and a reward of $17,000 was placed on his head. Subsequently, after spending four more years on the run, on 24 November 1972, 32-year-old Lim, together with his most trusted right-hand man Chua Ah Kow, was spotted by police in a pasar malam from Queenstown, and after engaging in a shoot-out with the police, Lim was shot to death by the police.
