Wan Rizal on Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill
The workers most affected by a new road safety bill often lack HR support available to most employees, said MP Wan Rizal in parliament on Tuesday (Aug 4). Noting that “compliance begins with communication”, he called for a targeted campaign delivered through NTUC, platform operators and taxi associations on key aspects such as tighter alcohol limits and prohibition against holding a phone while driving. He also suggested a hotline that drivers can call to ask about the effects of prescribed medication. This relates to a new offence for any specified substance found in a driver’s blood.
