I can't catch up to notify u..... sorry, forget the car number... need to check my DVR... but if that does match the description, please take note of your car.

The National Environment Agency (NEA) will be reviewing the penalty regime against vehicles which emit excessive smoke, according to Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Vivian Balakrishnan. The NEA will also harness new technology such as remote sensing technology to enhance enforcement against such vehicles, he added in a written reply yesterday to Nee Soon GRC Member of Parliament Lee Bee Wah, who had asked about the ministry's efforts to control vehicles from across the Causeway which emit excessive smoke. Smoky vehicles entering Singapore will be stopped for a smoke emission test, explained Dr Balakrishnan. A composition fine ranging from S$70 to S$500 will be issued to the driver of a vehicle that fails the test. Diesel vehicles that emit smoke exceeding 70 Hartridge Smoke Units, a measurement of smoke opacity, will be turned back. The NEA also conducts regular enforcement on Singapore roads, and drivers of buses that fail the smoke emission test for the first time will be issued with a composition fine of S$150. In the last two years, a total of 7,950 foreign-registered vehicles, including 2,339 motorcycles, were booked for excessive smoke emission.
