Superintendent of Police Michelle Foo Li-Mei, 48, and Superintendent Low Jiing Haur, 51, apply their investigative skills to foster honesty and enforce rules with their three children at home in Singapore. Their children include two sons, aged 19 and 16, and a 10-year-old daughter [1, 2, 3, 4].
The couple met during investigative assignments in 2002 and married in 2004. They have balanced demanding police careers with family life for about two decades [1, 2, 3, 4]. Foo explained their approach: "We just want to find out what is wrong" when addressing their children's behavior [1].
Low recalled a recent conversation with their elder son in upper secondary school, reminding him to be home by 10 p.m. He also showed his son Singapore law that prohibits sex with minors aged 14 to 16, which carries penalties of up to 10 years’ jail, fines, and caning. He said, "I opened the (Singapore) statute and told him to read (the section on underage sex). I showed him the law and said, ‘You cannot do this.’" [1, 2, 3, 4]
On June 3, the Singapore Police Force commemorated Police Day with a parade at the Home Team Academy. The event paid tribute to officers who made sacrifices to keep Singapore safe [1, 2, 3, 4]. The Bedok and Jurong police divisions won awards for Best Land and NS Operationally Ready Unit during the ceremony [1, 2, 3, 4].
Second Minister for Home Affairs and Law Minister Edwin Tong remarked on the evolving and complex nature of crime, commending SPF officers for their dedication in staying ahead of emerging threats [1, 2, 3, 4].
