The number of arrests for drink-driving cases has decreased in the first six months of 2024, but the number of deaths and arrests increased in the first nine months, indicating ongoing challenges. The Singapore Police Force is employing new strategies, including social media campaigns, to prevent drink-driving incidents.
The number of arrests for drink-driving cases dropped to 812 in the first six months of 2024, compared with 853 in the same period from 2023. However, in the first nine months of 2024, 1,260 people have been arrested for the offence. The Singapore Police Force (SPF) provided statistics showing that 128 drink-driving cases led to deaths in the first nine months of 2023, with 1,254 people arrested in that same period.
Minister of State for Home Affairs Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim highlighted new anti-drink driving campaigns, including the use of social media platforms like TikTok, to raise awareness. The annual campaign, led by the Traffic Police and partners, aims to remind all motorists about road safety, particularly given that Singapore averaged more than one death a month from drink-driving accidents in the first nine months of 2024
