Gho Sze Kee on Land Transport and Related Matters Bill
Why does risky behaviour in the use of personal mobility devices (PMDs) persist, where users obtain illegal devices, modify them and travel at unsafe speeds on public paths? Raising this question in parliament on Tuesday (Feb 3), MP Gho Sze Kee said it was time to address the “elephant in the room” - that for many users, PMDs are not just a means of commute, but a tool to earn a living. The “pressure-cooker environment” that platform riders operate under effectively incentivises risky behaviour, she said. Ms Gho said it was time to hold platform companies more accountable for the safety of their workers and the communities they serve.
