A GrabFood delivery rider who was seen in an altercation with a woman has spoken up with his side of the story.
Stomper D, who wrote in to Stomp on behalf of the rider, said the incident occurred in the vicinity of Block 535 Bedok North Street 3 last Wednesday (May 19), at around 6.30pm to 7pm.
After a video of the incident was posted online, Grab responded that it has temporarily suspended the delivery rider and will be conducting further investigation.

D said he is "personally related" to the GrabFood rider, but did not elaborate further.
The Stomper shared: "I am writing here to defend the GrabFood rider. This is his story but he doesn't know where to speak out to.
"With regards to the one-sided Facebook video where a GrabFood rider ALLEGEDLY hit and hurt a pedestrian, our side has been very quiet about this till now.
"Yes, he was wrong to ride on the pavement, no doubt about it and not denying it. Other than that, the rest are just allegations but has resulted in a police report being made, him being suspended from Grab and all the negative comments.
"Here was what happened:
"The rider had rung the bell from far away to signal to pedestrians. This particular lady had her earpiece in her ear and couldn't hear anything.
"And yes, the man did slow down approaching the 'victim'. When she still couldn't hear or wouldn't budge (dunno which one lah eh), the man shouted, 'Oi' loudly...
"Now.... This is the fun part!
"Upon hearing the shout, the 'victim' turned around and was not happy at why the rider shouted, 'Oi'. She even went on to block his way to prevent him from moving as she was very unhappy with the approach.
"This man, with his daughter in tow, kept his cool and just asked her to move. But still, SHE WOULDN'T BUDGE!
"Throughout the drama created by the 'victim', not a single strand of hair was touched by the man in any way at all.
"The only time he touched the 'victim' was to get her bloody handphone out of his face. Even then, it was only her phone that was touched. The man did not lay a finger on the 'victim'.
"Let's be honest and real here.
"If indeed the man was in the wrong and the 'victim' was indeed a 'victim', why would passers-by make way for the man to make a move?
"If indeed the 'victim' was injured, why was no one seen talking or attending to the 'victim'?
"If the 'victim' had indeed been slapped, why was no one helping her out but helped him to 'get away' instead?
"You ever bothered to ask yourselves any of these questions? Were any of you there to witness the incident?
"ONCE AGAIN I STRESS THIS, THE 'VICTIM' WAS NOT TOUCHED IN ANY WAY AND WAS PLAYING THE VICTIM CARD JUST BECAUSE SHE WAS CALLED TO MAKE WAY FOR THE MAN.
"Most of you have not been riding with IGNORANT PEDESTRIANS, be it on pavements or park connectors, regardless of the mode of transportation.
"You have not seen the ugly side of self-entitled Karens who feel that they own the lane and choose to either not give way or to block the path.
"Why not all of you keyboard warriors ride a bicycle for one whole day, following all the bloody rules, in a neighborhood area... And then tell everyone how your experience was like, without being judgemental?
"I personally was a rider too and I know very well how many bloody Karens are out there.
"This man lost his job, his reputation and almost his mind. He lost everything because of a Karen video. You can see how he was keeping his cool as he had his daughter with him.
"Ask that Karen... Are you happy now???"

The bottom line is that there are far too many people on that tiny little Island.

As long as the population density remains the same this fight for limited space is not going to end. If more people flood in the stress levels and aggro are going to become even worse.

Hence fuck Lanjiao Loong and his 10mil population.
Everyone will spit on his grave, piss on his skull and whip his fucking corpse!

Don't get distracted. The key issue is overpopulation. And pedestrians/joggers being relegated to second class citizens on shared paths and pavements. Refer to the yellow lines on the newly painted PCN paths: narrow strip for those on their feet, broader strip for those on wheels.

Of course, having cyclists deliver food makes it worse.

 

[kaninabuchaojibye]

fuck pap
small tiny island import so many people
while they live in their mansions
fuck pap

 

[LITTLEREDDOT]

The problem is that all the PAP Ministers of Transport have never tackled the cycling problem all these decades. They just hold the portfolio appointment for a few years, collect a few million dollars, then look to move to a more important portfolio.

The problem isn't cyclists it's the cars.

 

[mojito]

No reason why cyclists and pedestrians can not share paths. How ever foot paths are so narrow on this island even in high density areas like housing estates. It is an urban planning problem. The state has failed us yet again.

The key point is the unregukated madness that is pmd which was just okayed with nothing else done. No widening of lane or special lane for them on the road. As for normal cyclist, they all shoukd be road kill. Contributes nothing to society

 

[myfoot123]

The problem isn't cyclists it's the cars.

Both have the hands of human on its wheel. What is the difference?

The difference is that the cars weighs 1500kg while a bicycle weighs 10kg. Which one would you prefer to be hit by?

Actually I think if SG banned cars and only allowed PMDs and also had COE on PMDs they would make much more money.

You can sell more COEs if it is all PMDs on roads. I am sure each COE for the PMD can go up quite high also given the open bidding system.

It is kind of like stock split.

Hope LTA considers doing that. Will increase the revenue by a lot. Imagine all those PMDs going under the ERP gantries too! Woo hoo!

A ride share scheme would probably be the easiest to administer and profit from.

In Auckland there have been very few issues with ride share scooters because boundaries, speeds and operating hours can all be centrally controlled.

New look Lime e-scooters and bikes hit Auckland pavements​

Lime is back in Auckland, but not as you know it: red scooters and e-bikes will be zooming around the city from today. The US-based Lime beat out homegrown e-scooter company Flamingo for a six-month licence from Auckland Council, operating 830 e-scooters from previous operator Jump by Uber (now owned by Lime) plus two Singapore operators.
Overall, the total allocation of e-scooters has been chopped from 3200 to 2490, after Auckland Council announced its latest lineup of e-scooter licensees, which will take to the pavement from September 4.
The new-look Lime vehicles, made up of 830 Jump scooters and 500 Jump e-bikes, will each come with a helmet which riders are encouraged to wear.
A raft of safety measures have been added to the re-launched, red e-scooters - including larger wheels, dual braking, a wide footboard and lower centre of gravity for better stability and rider balance.
The Jump bike, an electric pedal-assisted vehicle, has "a reputation for safety", Lime's
government affairs manager Lauren Mentjox said.
Jump bikes have swappable batteries, and up to a 60km range on a single charge.
Lime got temporarily kicked off Auckland streets in early 2019 after a braking issue that caused dozens of injuries, and the company lost its licence later that year despite instituting new procedures including more regular hands-on checks of its hardware and real-time performance monitoring.
President Joe Kraus said the company had taken time over the past nine months to reflect on how it could "be a better and more reliable partner to Auckland".
"Our top priority is providing consistent and safe services for our riders while paying special attention to public spaces, pedestrians and vulnerable populations," he said in a statement.

Mentjox said riders were always encouraged to wear a helmet, although it wasn't mandatory when riding a scooter.
"We have a range of additional safety initiatives that we will be rolling out in the coming days and weeks," she said.
"We will also be inviting riders to take part in our First Ride programme, which consists of a 30-minute hands-on scooter-safety course for new riders to learn to ride one of our vehicles in a safe environment. The programme also covers parking etiquette."
Users will be able to book the Jump e-scooters on Auckland streets from September 4 using both the Uber and Lime platforms, with launch promos available on the latter platform.
Riders who use the Lime app will also be able to take advantage of Lime Pass daily and monthly offers.
"Lime is the only micromobility company to partner with Google Maps, making multimodal-trip planning even easier in Auckland," Mentjox said.

Lime operates more than 150,000 e-scooters and e-bikes daily in more than 120 cities and 24 countries.
In New Zealand, Lime also operates in Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Dunedin and Selwyn District.
The company recently secured a further one year permit in Christchurch as well as renewals
in Paris and Chicago, two of the biggest e-scooter markets in the world.
In May 2020, 82 per cent of riders surveyed said that Lime helped them use motor vehicles less often, with 49 per cent of respondents saying they'd used Lime to get to or from public transport.

war between sinkies and ceca nehs is also sexpected on shared pathways.

With ride share you lose out on the parking fees.

Sinkies love to own. That's why HDB is big. Let sinkies own their PMDs, maintain and replace, pay for parking also.
