Chinese bike-sharing operator Ofo has breached multiple regulatory requirements set by the government and has to meet them all by 13 February to avoid suspension, stated the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Tuesday (15 January).

It stated that Ofo has breached multiple regulatory requirements despite being given an ample preparation period for compliance.

LTA claims that despite multiple warnings and regulatory action taken against them, Ofo had not been able to reduce its deployed bicycle fleet to the stipulated maximum fleet size of 10,000, as well as managing to implement the QR-code parking system by 14 January.

LTA said, “We view these as serious breaches of critical requirements. Therefore Ofo must meet all regulatory requirements by 13 February 2019, failing which LTA intends to suspend Ofo’s licence.”
The authority had announced last November that it would take action against ofo for breaching the fleet-size quota, in which the company could have been fined up to $100,000 for its infringement of the Parking Place Act.
The firm, however, has been facing cash flow problems and millions of users have asked for their deposits back.
Dai Wei, Ofo chief executive, stated in December that the firm was battling “immense” cash flow problems and disbanding the firm has been considered as an option.
At least two of Ofo’s former logistic vendors have said the firm owes them around S$700,000 for their services in the country alone and the contracts of hundreds of Ofo Singapore employees were also terminated in November last year.

Employees said Ofo still owed them thousands of dollars in claims and they have lodged complaints with the Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management.

【冠状病毒19】测试盒校准出问题 33人被误列为确诊

根据卫生部文告,卫生部对实验室测试进行定期检查,最近却发现因为其中一套测试盒出现校准问题,有33人被误列为对冠状病毒19 呈阳性反应。 国家公共卫生实验室再次为他们进行检测,确认上述33人都对冠病呈阴性。 卫生部也表示,当局已立即采取行动纠正问题,有关实验室也暂停检测工作,以解决问题。 不过,当局也表示审查也未发现有出现误判为阴性的测试结果。 另一方面,有鉴于有两名病患的检测结果模棱两可,当局暂时把他们 列为”阳性“并隔离。不过较后进行重新检测,已确认他们都对冠病呈阴性反应。 上述两名病例,分别是博览中心隔离设施服务的20岁男护士,以及52岁女义工。
