Ang Wei Neng on Land Transport and Related Matters (No. 2) Bill
If the Land Transport and Related Matters (No. 2) Bill is passed, residents will fear penalties and may resort to hiding their non-compliant mobility devices at home, charge their batteries behind closed doors or dump them down the rubbish chute. That is a “catastrophe waiting to happen”, said MP Ang Wei Neng. He urged the Ministry of Transport (MOT) to introduce a safe and penalty-free voluntary surrender scheme for residents to hand over illegal devices and hazardous batteries. Speaking in parliament on Wednesday (Oct 7), he also highlighted the enforcement challenges for the ban on non-compliant batteries and wanted to know how MOT would dismantle the cross-border pipeline of shady overseas sellers and platforms.
