New Delhi: The Singapore diplomat to India has flagged an alert about a car with a fake number plate. Singapore’s High Commissioner Simon Wong on Friday informed the Ministry of External Affairs and Delhi Police about the car with fake number plate. He has posted regarding this on his official social media platform X. He has also shared the photo of the car in his post.
Wong wrote in his post that the silver car with 63 CD plates is fake. This is not our embassy car. The embassy further wrote that we have alerted the Foreign Ministry and the police. With so many dangers around, be extra cautious when you see this car parked unattended. In this post he has also tagged Delhi Police, Ministry of External Affairs and Delhi Airport.

The vehicles used for diplomatic work in India have blue number plates with white letters. In these number plates, after the letters CD, a two-digit code and registration number is written. Vehicles with CD number plates are reserved for foreign diplomatic missions and organisations, including embassies and consulates. CD stands for Corps Diplomatique.
Delhi Police has asserted action against the accused. In its reply, Delhi Police said they have informed their teams concerned about it and action would be taken after verifying the vehicle’s details.
HC Wong is quite active on social media. Earlier in October, Wong had pointed out a mistake in the sign board near the Singapore High Commission in Chanakyapuri. During this time also he had shared two photos on X. The name of the country was wrongly written on the sign board as Singapore instead of Singapur. Wong said in his post that it is always good to do spell check first. However, within a few hours of Wong’s post, the New Delhi Municipal Council took cognizance of the issue. Fixed spelling mistake.
