We are proud to share that DSP Chua Yi Gang and DSP Lin Rouxiu have been appointed as SPS's first ever Honorary Aides-de-Camp (HADC) to serve the Office of the President of Singapore.
As HADCs, they support the President's office in planning, coordinating and organising events and functions attended by the President, representing the very best of what our Captains of Lives stand for.
Speaking at the event, President Tharman Shanmugaratnam highlighted the inclusion of SPS as a meaningful milestone for the corps. He shared that the work of the Prison Service goes beyond security and discipline, to rehabilitation, reintegration and giving individuals dignity and a second chance — work that is often unseen, but vital to our national ethos.
"I hope to foster a culture of openness where ideas and practices can be exchanged," said DSP Chua Yi Gang.
"Corrections is often behind the scenes, but it requires empathy, resilience and responsibility," shared DSP Lin Rouxiu. "I hope to reflect these values in my work as an HADC."
Two officers. One shared commitment: To serve with purpose.
