Role of Gurkha Contingent of Singapore Police Force

Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for Home Affairs (a) whether there have been changes to the role of the Gurkha Contingent (GC) of the Singapore Police Force since its establishment and, if so, what are these changes; and (b) whether there is more that the GC can do for our national security.

Mr K Shanmugam: The role of the Gurkha Contingent has remained unchanged. It is tasked with guarding selected installations, providing security coverage at major security events, and augmenting Police response to public order and public security incidents.
