Joan Pereira on Land Transport and Related Matters Bill
The measures proposed under the Land Transport and Related Matters Bill should be implemented with adequate support, clear timelines and proportionate enforcement, said MP Joan Pereira. Speaking in parliament on Tuesday (Feb 3), she sought clarification on several aspects that may affect residents and businesses. One of them is on medical certification for personal mobility aids. She suggested a special category of users who may fall into a grey area - delivery riders who may not meet the strict medical certification criteria but have genuine mobility problems that make cycling or walking long distances very difficult. She asked if there would be transition support for affected riders.
