Serious Si Kelingkia Dare To Summon Madam President's Convoy!! Give Chance This Time!

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE — The Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the Singapore Police Force (SPF) have reminded Presidential security officers to comply with traffic rules, after a photo of the Presidential convoy being parked along double yellow lines was widely circulated on social media.

However, even though traffic rules were flouted, the vehicle convoy for Singapore President Halimah Yacob was not issued traffic summons.

In the photo of the incident on Wednesday (Dec 20), a LTA officer can be seen talking to the driver of a white Mercedes with the number plate “SEP1”, which was parked along double yellow lines along Princep Street.

“SEP” is the acronym for Singapore Elected President and “SEP1” is the exclusive car number plate for Singapore’s Head of State.

In a joint statement by the LTA and SPF on Friday (Dec 22), the agencies confirmed that an LTA enforcement officer was conducting his routine patrol along Prinsep Street on Wednesday (Dec 20) when he noticed two vehicles waiting along a stretch of road marked with double yellow lines.

The officer approached the vehicle to ask the driver to drive off, who in turn told the officer that he was there to pick up President Halimah Yacob, “who was leaving the place”.

“In the midst of the engagement, the President arrived and the driver drove off. There was no summons issued,” the LTA and SPF said in the statement.

The agencies also explained that the Police Security Command (SecCom) provides security protection for the President of Singapore and other senior political leaders.

“As part of the security protection operations, the vehicle convoy is to be positioned close to the event location in compliance with traffic rules, to facilitate swift evacuation during contingencies,” the statement said.

“In this case, the SecCom ground commander had made a decision for the convoy to wait there for the President as there were no street-side parking lots available in the immediate vicinity which would have allowed the convoy to come quickly to the scene in the event of an emergency,” said the authorities.

The Police have since reviewed the incident with LTA.

They added: “SecCom officers have been reminded to park the convoy in compliance with traffic rules, without compromising their mission to ensure the safety and security of those they are escorting.”

I'm surprised that the reply was so diplomatic. Just say that the president vehicle should be able to park anywhere for quick evacuation. Full stop. LKY will be jumping in his grave reading replies like this

SecCom cheapskate buggers, got big basement carpark but refuse to pay parking charges simple as that. They think bcos SEP1 is govt car suka suka park double yellow line. Its call deep rooted work culture issues; nothing will change.

Yes this is wayang.
Dun say is pappy cars.... even diplomatic CD plated cars the traffic police also no balls to summon.
If the LTA guy is not part of the wayang then he just signed his own termination letter.
Must be ignorant Jiuhu Kelingkia who think SEP 1 is just another license plate.

Back to LKY. When he went to his Tanjong Pagar ward last time entire road cleared for his convoy in advance. I know coz the traffic police came over and told me to fuck off even though I was in parked at a parking lot.

This prove that the elites are above the law. Singapore got 2 sets of laws. One for rich and powerful, the other for the rest of us. The so called "no one is above the law" is a fantasy.

 

[KuanTi01]

It is so obvious that elites are treated preferentially. So the government should drop the pretence that no one is above the law!

Actually the president is above the law.
He or she can’t be prosecuted in court

Should get the chink driver to potong and keep a beard; sekali authorities claim he has to pray 5 times a day.

Your notice they like to play pocket billards; hands always in the pockets.

Can't the LTA just write a summon to the President? Ask them to pay up. But you can appeal for it to be waive off? President also subject to the same rule right?

How stupid the statement from LTA, which make the law enforcement and application so dumb and sound so corrupted? The scholars may be quite capable but sometimes they lack the knowhow on the ground.

You can make it so transparent that even people feel that LTA is a organization who has no fear or favour. They lose a great opportunity to showcase their incorruptible image.

Precisely, given LKY style of handling this issue. If he were to make a statement on this, he would have said that the President car is different, not above the law but we must look at it differently. In addition, he would give reasons to substantiate his point. Most importantly, he is firm when handling sticky situations

different; in the way that the ckt hawker gives him an extra egg and firm; in that the lta head would get the sack first thing the next morning
