Yeo Wan Ling on Transport Sector (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill
The primary duty of public transport workers is to operate the system safely, reliably and efficiently. So, as Singapore moves to enhance public transport security, responsibilities such as passenger screening should be undertaken by trained personnel. If transport workers are expected to support such efforts, they must be set up for success with clear, practical operating procedures and by ensuring the new duties do not compromise their core responsibilities. MP Yeo Wan Ling made these points in parliament on Tuesday (Oct 14). She also asked if penalties for endangering individuals on buses or at interchanges will be applied to those who abuse or harass transport workers.
