Shocking Enforcement Operation Hits Singapore's CBD!

In a bold move to enhance public safety, Singapore authorities swung into action with a joint enforcement drive on June 6, resulting in one arrest and the seizure of eight bicycles and personal mobility devices (PMDs) in the Central Business District (CBD).

Targeting Reckless Riders and Dangerous Devices!

The operation was organized by the Singapore Police Force (SPF), Land Transport Authority (LTA), and Health Sciences Authority (HSA), specifically aimed at errant cyclists and PMD riders flouting safety regulations. Authorities reported a staggering 16 violations, including the use of non-compliant PMDs and dangerously reckless riding.

Arrest and Seizures Galore!

One individual faced arrest for causing harm through reckless behavior, while various devices were confiscated: five bicycles demanded to be grounded due to failing safety checks (such as unresponsive handbrakes) and a non-compliant PMD appeared on the streets despite regulations forbidding it.

Illegal Vaporisers - A Serious Offense!

In a surprising twist, the authorities seized eight illegal e-vaporisers, emphasizing their commitment to upholding the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act and highlighting the risks they pose.

A Strong Warning from Authorities!

In a decisive statement, the SPF, LTA, and HSA made it clear that they take these offences seriously, underscoring their dedication to public safety. They plan to keep the pressure on by conducting routine and unannounced operations.

Safety Comes First!

Cyclists and PMD users are reminded to adhere strictly to regulations and maintain safe riding practices. The public is also warned that possessing, using, or purchasing e-vaporisers remains illegal.
