Happen to read this on straits times. Good news for those who are affected batch . http://www.volkswagen.com.sg/en/company/dsg.html

Mistakes do happen but unforgivable if one never acts on it despite being notified. Can emphatise with the SPT's fustration... From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/STForum/Online...ory_706271.html Motorist fined wrongly, then let off out of 'goodwill' I AM a resident of Marine Drive and pay for my HDB season parking via Giro monthly. On Monday morning, I discovered a parking fine on my windshield, offering a compounded settlement fee of $50 for not having a valid season parking permit. The offence was recorded at 4.26am by the reporting officer. The initial letters of the vehicle licence plate in the fine was noted as SFC, while mine starts with SFV. That mistake, together with the fact that I have been settling my season parking through Giro for the past four years, naturally baffled me. I wrote in to the Housing Board and Wilson Parking (the latter issued the fine) on the same day and received an e-mail reply from HDB on Thursday. The Geylang branch officer noted that I had committed an offence by parking without a valid season parking permit. The HDB reply also stated that it would waive the fine this time but will not do so again. The reply was baffling especially as I did not commit the offence and HDB and Wilson Parking obviously got the vehicle number wrong. Yet it was made to seem as if they were waiving the fine out of goodwill. Sandra Ng (Ms)
