A netizen has shared her urgent plea to ban all modified vehicles in Singapore immediately.

In a number of Facebook posts, Ho Ching responded to recent news of errant cyclists on the roads by suggesting that bicycles and PMDs should be registered and insured, whilst riders should obtain a license. She also added that different classes of bicycles and PMDs should be established as we …

Currently in 461D at West Rock, Bukit Batok West Ave 8, there is a family that has been constantly harassing the neighbours. The harassment started 6 months ago, ranging from having more than 8 kids in the corridor and making noise during the night to having a PMD repair workshop from 6pm to 6am.

A good solution is one that takes into consideration the interests of as many users as possible, which of course include the safety of pedestrians on footpaths. But what we have seen with the reactions of the food delivery riders, where they gathered in big groups to meet MPs to hear them out, it is clear that no one was appeased in this fiasco of a decision by the PAP. This goes to show that the PAP has no idea how to solve the problem they themselves created. They have really lost their way.

While this will be painted in the MSM as PAP MPs going out of their way to accommodate the PMD riders by meeting them and having a dialogue with them, the reality is that this was nothing more than a PR exercise, where the angry and unhappy PMD riders are gathered under one roof, and told in no uncertain terms that the government will never budge from their stand. This was never a dialogue, but a monologue from a PAP MP.

While Senior Minister of State Lam Pin Min told Parliament that the move was necessary to make pedestrians feel safe again, about 100,000 PMD users who depended on them to make a living, were left jobless and clueless as to what they can do. The question that most PMD users had for the people who made the decision from their ivory towers was that did the new law kick in without proper consultations and deliberations, and was there any thoughts given to those whose very rice bowl depended on them riding the PMD.

Based on preliminary investigations, the fire was started by a PMD that was placed in the kitchen. It was not known if the PMD was in the process of having been charged when the fire broke out.

The Bukit Batok fire that took place on Thursday night at an HDB unit has claimed a life. 41 year old Mr Goh Keng Soon, who was initially rescued by SCDF officers when the fire broke out in his flat, succumbed to his injuries on Saturday morning. He had third degree burns on 40% of his body and died at SGH.

One man, a 27 year old who lives in the flat, even had to crawl out of the gates of the unit, as he did not have time to bring anything out. The man relies on a wheelchair or a can to move around because of a spinal problem.

A considerate e-scooter rider has caught a rider using his personal mobility device (PMD) on the roads illegally on video, and could be heard giving the PMD rider a scolding.
