Security and Intelligence Division

Security and Intelligence Division

The Security and Intelligence Division is an intelligence agency of the government of Singapore responsible for external intelligence operations.

History

The Security and Intelligence Division shares a similar background to its domestic counterpart, the Internal Security Department. The primary intelligence organ since the colonial era was the Malaysian Special Branch. With the independence of Singapore, the Ministry of Interior and Defence was directed to reorganize and consolidate all intelligence capabilities in January 1966. SID was subsequently established in February 1966 with Mr Tay Seow Huah being appointed as its first Director.

Directors

Mr Eddie Teo was also concurrent Director of ISD from 1982 to 1986.

In 1974, Director Nathan led a negotiation team to help resolve the Laju hostage crisis. He later became the President of Singapore. [ [http://www.mindef.gov.sg/imindef/about_us/history/birth_of_saf/v06n01_history.html 1974 - The Laju Incident] - Ong Kian Seng, Ministry of Defence, 7 January 2002]
