Shanmugam has spoken. You PMA bastards better watch out.

Mostly Malay. Some used it to do Grab delivery or let their gf take a free ride. Others are just pure lazy to walk.

Alamak Ma-lazy

People don't know how to use cars either which is why scores of people die weekly on the streets of Singapore. Perhaps we should start with the education of motorists which are the primary source of danger. PMDs/PMAs don't even figure in the road death statistics. No pedestrian has ever been killed by a PMD. The last PMD related death was between a PMD and a cyclist.

At least motorists are licensed to operate their vehicles and are insured. In any given situation, humans are always the variable. Hence, education and law enforcement can only do that much. More education and regulations are needed to manage this PMA/PMD/E-bike menace.

First start creating 1/2 lane for bicycle, pmd& motorbike..don't divide the people & blame each road users. just regulate speed especially during peak hours. We don't get so much issues when bicycle using pedestrian paths. Now the speed of these bicycle on the path & road is the problem. These PMD & bicycles are not meant for competition. Just being used to move around neighborhood.

Totally agree. PMAs/PMDs/E-bikes are not the problem per se. It's the user operator. More education and regulations are needed to manage them. For their own safety and for the safety of others.

If your loved ones are killed by a licensed and insured driver let's see whether this will provide any comfort in your grief.

That would be tragic. But less so for those "loved ones" I despise. Like I said, despite the laws and educations, humans are always the variable. But at least have them in place to regulate.

Since we know that humans are the main variable it would be best if they used bicycles and PMDs for most of their commutes. Even without insurance and licensing the injuries would be far less severe and deaths would plunge simply because the laws of physics says so.


The true horror of what happens when licensed and insured drivers are turned loose on the streets.

PMDs, ebikes and PMAs are the least of anyone's problems in ANY country.

I get what you're saying. But whether we like it or not, cars, PMDs etc are all here to stay. Some have a higher propensity to inflict serious injuries/deaths as compared to others. So, throughout this spectrum, there needs to be regulations which coincide with that vehicle's ability to maim and kill if not operated properly and carefully.

Like I said, charging the battery caused more accidents than travelling.
