how long does LTA takes to issue the letter for new car inspection before registering car number? I have a friend who was in the midst of getting her new car next week, but SE told her their admin was hold back because her car is not inspected yet.

Hi Gurus, need help. Anyone with experience in why TP issue or not issue summon on the spot? I rented a lorry to help a friend move house. I thought the front cabin can seat 3 pax due to the seats design. Ok thats my fault for not finding out. Anyway, 3 of us sat there and kenna stopped by TP. TP copy my IC particulars and say summon will be sent to me later. Tried to ask TP give chance but failed haha. Ok I'm not complaining, just that I am curious why didn't he issue on the spot? I always thought traffic offence caught on the spot will be issued immediately. Can anyone enlighten?

Really need some help from all the brother and sister here... Currently my company is facing some financial problem, it all started from last month when my pay is being delay for almost 3weeks, after 3 weeks, my boss suggested he can only give me 50% first, than last week, he pass me the remaining 50% but less $100 so i guess well, maybe he really tight up, but things change kinda fast, almost all my college had leave the company, leaving me and the account, and theres news saying boss have the intention of just shut down the company and run away... So my problem is, if boss really just wind down and run again with my salary + last month CPF & this month, apart of reporting it to MOM, wat else can be done? Heard too many cases that, even the company it PTE LTD, closing of the company is as simple as sole proprietor. Really need some kind advise on this...

Letter from Michelle Ho 05:10 AM Aug 20, 2009 TODAYonline A traffic summon I recently received has left me questioning the power with which police officers are able to issue such charges. On July 11 at 4 pm, I was pulled over by two traffic police (TP) officers on the AYE who told me I had caused the vehicle behind me to slow down while I switched lanes. The officers did not issue anything in writing but said I would be penalized with three demerit points-my first ones in almost four years of driving-- and a fine of $120. I was told to wait for the summon in mail. I received the notice a week later and was shocked to read that the officer had -- in my opinion-- grossly overstated my offences. Contrary to what was earlier said, the officers also doubled the demerit points penalty and increased the fine to $150. The charge itself was already questionable. On that occasion, I was driving within the speed limit of the expressway, had signalled prior to changing lanes and had ascertained that vehicles were at a safe distance behind before I switched lanes. In no event did I cause any driver to "apply sudden brakes in order to avoid a collision", as the summon had so dramatically described. Admittedly, the validity of the charge boils down to a case of "my word against his". But the officers certainly did their credibility no favours by issuing in written form a much more severe penalty than they had indicated verbally. How can the officers tell me one thing but write up a completely different one? I sent in an appeal and was told a month later that the matter had been reviewed and the charge still stands. No explanation was given. I find this apparent lack of accountability disturbing. In the first place, a proper summons form, instead of hand-written notes, should have been used to record the offences. The summons should state the offence committed and accompanying penalties, and be signed by both the officer and driver at the time of the incident. Notice of offences should also include names of issuing officers, since there is little reason for them to operate behind an anonymous veil. Lastly, the authorities should at least explain their reasons for rejecting an appeal instead of just leaving the accused feeling a sense of injustice. Such measures could impede the TP's efficiency that has for the large part served our nation so well. But surely, it is the lesser evil compared to the apparent free rein with which an officer could otherwise wield in issuing summons. Are police officers infallible, incapable of human error or always beyond reproach? Why is there no transparency or system of checks of balances that can hold the officers in question responsible and accountable for their actions or subject their potential wrongdoings to scrutiny? Such a system opens doors for inconsistencies by which the law is enforced upon, and as such, can cause government agencies to lose credibility.

hi hi, anyone know the operational procedure of issuing traffic offence? Here's the story, I've been served a fine of $120 and 3 demerit points for "(LV) Park Within a Demerit Points No Parking Zone Under Rule 24A Road Traffic Rules". This was at 4am at Lorong Liput. I was standing next to my car when the there was this police car who turned in to open the gates at Holland Village (you know those driveway that they close for pedestrain at night). And I kept looking at the policeman who alighted from the car to see if I need to shift my car. He didin't even look at me, and the next thing I know, I get this a week later. My point is, can't he have given me a warning, or issue me a fine on the spot? Why so sneaky?
