Car meetup also needs permit now? Last time so many car meetup at carpark, they also never step in to interfere?! Life is really getting stressful now. 😅

Last time no social media, everybody just attend, by standers just watch and go back, very peaceful meetup. Now is different, a lot will create nuisance trying to show off, everything also posting online, some groups will then start commenting people creating nuisance, no action taken blah blah even though they not at scene to experience it. If the authority don't take action it will look badly on them.

All I can say is that Singapore is really NOT a place for car lovers. Beside the ultra high vehicle taxes and ownership cost, car meetups also need a Police Permit?! 

So should our police demand the same for those cyclists who get together every weekend in big group, posing hazards and risk to other road users??

Police warns organisers of convoy gatherings to abandon plans; 5 men under investigation

• The police said they are aware of planned gatherings of vehicles to travel in a convoy at various locations over the long weekend
• They warned that doing so is an offence punishable with fine or jail, or both
• They said that five men are under investigation for organising two convoy gatherings last week
• They are also looking into a meet up of car enthusiasts last week at an open air carpark at Decathlon Kallang 

The police said on Monday (May 2) they are aware of planned gatherings for vehicles to travel in a convoy at various locations over the long weekend, warning that doing so is an offence that could land the organisers in jail.

In a statement, the police said it is investigating two incidents last week in which vehicles were driven in a convoy. The authorities are also looking into a third incident involving a gathering of car enthusiasts at an open air carpark in Kallang.

Five men, aged between 22 and 26, have been identified as organisers of the convoy events, though the police did not reveal their names. They are now under investigation for “conducting an event on the road or part thereof without a permit”, the police said.

“The police would like to remind the public that conducting an event on any road or part thereof without a police permit is illegal in Singapore and we will not hesitate to take firm action against those who choose to flout our laws,” it said.

Under the Road Traffic Act, any person convicted of conducting any event on any road could be fined S$1,000 or jailed up to three months, or both. Repeat offenders are liable for double the punishment — a S$2,000 fine or up to six months’ jail, or both.

Hah hell no, I rather go back to  just having a small gathering with frens for brekkie instead.

Fk meets if it's gonna be so much trouble. Not like I earn $$$ from it. In fact I even spend my own $$$ printing and giving out stickers just to make it more memorable for everyone.

I was thinking that the police took too long to respond. I support the police action. It is better to nib it in the bud than to let them grow beyond control. 

The convoys of prime movers, trucks, vans and motor cycles occupying two or more lanes, blaring horns with illegally fitted lights etc on a busy road like Changi Road is hazardous and dangerous. All it takes is a small incident to trigger off big chaotic situations. It could be riotous.

Imho, on the other hand, meetups at car parks, if there is no drive arounds, just a gathering of car enthusiasts to admire and share knowledge on cars should not be so restricted. May be, an email to inform the police of such events should suffice.

The earlier ones at Dempsey or even earlier at Purvis st or the gathering of MSVCR at siglap carpark is very low key. 
but alas all the egos come about when too many gawkers come, such that Dempsey is now too chaotic.

Because when it's peaceful and relatively law abiding, authorities have no need to interfere. 

 

Now with this sort of publicity and news that such meets are "frowned upon" from a legal point of view, what you think gonna happen in future? All fked

Yup. Never had any police at MSVCR meetings, I think. All older mature adults, who don’t do stunts, not that the cars can manage any pops and bangs anyway.

Looking at the photo of the car present, likely these people will starting to revving  their engine on the road. See whos exhaust is louder, creating all the noise... and also some will likely to be road hazard to other driver when driving around.

We know how this driver drive even when they drive alone on the road.

Yup. Noise. Anyone rev up their car/bike in Sg urban roads for a stupid smallcock reason, i'll do my best to make sure they pay for it. Sorry. Even if its my bff. LCK still ok.
