LTA absent as PMDs endanger others by speeding on an expressway

PMDs may be somewhat affordable, but if you're not careful they can cost you your life. Like these guys may find out soon enough. 

What happened?

A camcar was travelling on East Coast Parkway (ECP) at 2am in the morning yesterday when it cam across a gang of PMD riders speeding on the expressway. 

There was at first only one rider in view on the cam car’s left before a second zoomed past into the footage.

A third soon zoomed from the camcar’s right.

Speeding in a PMD on an expressway is two crimes in one as a PMD is not authorised for use on roads. The punishments for which are being fined up to $2,000 and/or jail time of up to 3 months.

Online chatter. 

Plenty of people were criticising the PMD drivers, but they also criticised the government for not catching these riders as they endanger others as well.

While dark, others told traffic police to get blue tents ready for the riders.

As someone with a dark sense of humour I laughed.

Kinda true, enforcement officers have office hours too. Work life balance.
 

So I guess it’s time for laser beam satellite AI enforcements. Lol

To be honest, there is really no way the law or enforcement can catch such reckless PMDs at anytime. Really no way. 

These riders only have their own responsibility to account for their own safety.

If it just involves these irresponsible riders themselves,we need not care the least. Let them be self-eliminated. Unfortunately, it involves all other road users!

AMAP/LTA/BYK PLease take note,!

Maybe we should relook n rethink of PMD as the way to reduce the burden on public transportation. I am even thinking having LTA trial run or have some petrolling done by men in blue using pmd

    Manchester United's "promising" transfer window should be taken with a pinch of salt

    Having followed this club for more than 20 years, I'm well aware that a promising transfer window does not directly equate to an improved season. Forwards Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, as well as Diego Leon, the young Paraguayan wing-back, have been Manchester United's signings for the 2025 summer transfer window so far. On paper, this team should have no problem challenging for silverware. On the pitch, the current crop of players finished 15th last season. While both Cunha and Mbeumo ha
