Atonchia Supersonic August 20, 2018 Share August 20, 2018 Hahahahaha.... ask yourself when was the last time you saw a TP on the road? I clocked about 100km per day and the last time I saw a TP was on TV, national day parade escorting our President. Escorting VIP should sub out to CISCO or AETOS. No need TP. They should concentrate on enforcement. I saw one today when I was reaching my office. Then the PHV driver either was clueless or just gutsy, just turn right from a straight-going lane. 100m away from the TP looking at the other direction. Lucky the driver didn't pull the trick within my camera view, or else will send to TP. The right turn is into a single lane. The next u turn is another 100m away. Too many such jokers.

Ysc3 Twincharged August 23, 2018 Share August 23, 2018 Two drivers caught for using Malaysia-registered vehicles to provide chauffeured services SINGAPORE – An enforcement operation last Friday (Aug 17) against drivers who use Malaysia-registered vehicles to provide chauffeured services netted two drivers, who may be fined up to S$3,000 and jailed up to six months if convicted. The drivers may also have their vehicles forfeited. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) held its latest enforcement operation a day after TODAY reported the recurrent issue of drivers using Malaysia-registered vehicles to provide chauffeured services. It declined to reveal where last Friday's enforcement operation was carried out, but said it conducts regular enforcement operations at "hotspots such as Changi Airport, Marina Bay Sands and Ban San Street", which is near Rochor Centre. Under the law, all cars without a Public Service Vehicle Licence — including Malaysia-registered private cars — cannot be used to provide taxi or chauffeured private-hire car services in Singapore. While the illegal practice of drivers using Malaysia-registered vehicles to provide chauffeured services is not new, Singapore drivers offering chauffeured services said they have noticed more Malaysia-registered cars doing it in recent months. TODAY reported that at least five Malaysia-based companies — Big World Transport, Ben Travel, 168 Go Heng, Ace Transport and HBC Transport Agency — offered the service here. The cost of a one-way trip for four riders on a seven-seat Malaysia-registered vehicle ranged between S$50 and S$80, according to the operators. One company, 168 Go Heng, charged riders S$90 for the use of a Singapore-registered vehicle — S$40 more than if the riders were to book a Malaysia-registered one. Prior to the enforcement operation on Aug 17, the LTA said it took action against three cases in the first half of this year. It took action against seven such cases in 2016 and 10 cases last year. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor68 Turbocharged August 24, 2018 Share August 24, 2018 Actually I am more concerned with Malaysian lorry and motorcycles. Their pollution level are very high. Why we are going for all these restrictions while we are turning a blind eyes on them? If really cannot do anything, maybe set up a big parking space in Tuas to let them park and transfer to local transport system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I am more concerned with Malaysian lorry and motorcycles. Their pollution level are very high. Why we are going for all these restrictions while we are turning a blind eyes on them? If really cannot do anything, maybe set up a big parking space in Tuas to let them park and transfer to local transport system. imagine the exhaust I have to bear with when the MY age old goods vehicles come to my warehouse to unload their goods ... those skilled drivers can reverse into the bay very fast and then off their engines ... but those new licenses ... struggling to do 30 point turns and the amount of exhaust makes the air almost toxic !! and last year one of the regular MY drivers who send stuffs to my place got caught for smuggling cigarettes ... the company kenah embargo a few months.

Ysc3 Twincharged August 24, 2018 Share August 24, 2018 They also allow Malaysian car to tint 100% glass can’t even see the driver the SAF rules apply here again ... do anything but don't get caught ... my friend drove a SG plate Paseo and the window films were one way only ... but the tints only lasted until he went for his vehicle inspection ... the very next day after his inspection, his windows were clear liow !! btw, I think there is a limo service here that has a fleet of benzs with dark tints that you cannot see inside also.
