Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 2: Cassandra Lee on keeping Singaporeans safe on roads and online
In parliament on Friday (Feb 27), MP Cassandra Lee spoke about road safety, saying there is concern that certain aggravated cases causing death may not be met with penalties that fully reflect the harm caused. She asked if Singapore should raise maximum sentences to allow the Courts more flexibility to address different levels of culpability, from simple negligence to highly dangerous driving. She also called for more effective enforcement levers against scammers, while balancing deterrence with rehabilitation, especially for youth offenders.
