Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 5: Gerald Giam on safe cycling on footpaths
Walking along the footpaths should be a stress-free experience yet many pedestrians, especially the elderly and parents with children, often feel they must be on permanent alert. MP Gerald Giam, who shared this concern in parliament on Wednesday (Mar 4), said the Land Transport Authority needs to reinforce the message that pedestrians always have the right of way and educate both pedestrians and cyclists on safe use of footpaths.
