Always knew you had our backs: Police thank outgoing PM Lee

He was speaking at an event at the Senior Police Officers' Mess to honour PM Lee, who will mark the end of his 20-year tenure on May 15 when he hands over the reins to Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

Making his first public appearance since the handover announcement on April 15, PM Lee received the Temasek Sword - the highest honour bestowed by the Singapore Police Force (SPF) from Commissioner of Police Hoong Wee Teck.

There were more than 100 guests at the event, including Minister for Home Affairs K. Shanmugam, who told reporters that the event had been planned before the April 15 announcement.

In a citation, DC How said PM Lee has given his unstinting support to the SPF throughout his premiership.
