Meet Ryan Koh – Singapore’s “Yan Dao” Police Stand‑In with a Sky‑High Side Hustle
Most of us have probably bumped into him while ducking behind a supermarket or strolling past a hawker centre. The cardboard sign that flashes “Shop theft is a crime” is usually the only thing that sticks in our minds.
“I do more than just pose for the camera,” the guy behind the sign says, offering a strange mix of hustle‑law talk and city vibe. He’s Ryan Koh – the handsome man of the stand‑ee, the “Yan Dao” (a Hokkien nickname meaning “handsome”) policeman who now commands the Woodlands East Neighbourhood Police Centre.
The Singapore Police Force even shared a clip of him on TikTok (August 18) where he’s unboxing his day: leading a squad, chatting up the community, and ensuring his mates stay safe!

Now, if you’re an internet sleuth, you might have noticed something shiny on his badge that caught your eye: the Basic Parachutist Airborne Badge. That feathers a little extra swagger that says, “I’ve jumped out of planes before.” Can you imagine your local cop parachuting into an emergency?
Airborne badges are the VIP badges of the military. They’re handed out to those who have put in the work to learn specialized skills—like aviation‑ready breathing techniques, parachute deployment drills, and the fine art of not falling into a convenient puddle.
So next time you find yourself staring at that cardboard “Shop theft is a crime” sign, remember: behind it lies a man who can jump from the sky if the police need to upgrade their “high‑altitude” response. And that’s a crowd‑pleaser that turned a simple stand‑ee into a full‑blown story of bravery, charm, and city‑wide instagrammable moments—all while keeping the streets safe.
