What does PMD stands for again? Is it ‘Personal Mobility Device’ or ‘Public Madness Driving’? Either ways, can’t seem to tell the difference nowadays.

In a video uploaded on Facebook page Roads.sg earlier today (24 May), a male e-scooter rider is seen illegally riding on the road without a helmet, only to end up colliding into the back of a vehicle.

The video of the incident, captured via front and rear dashboard cameras from the vehicle involved, was contributed by Chris, the driver of the aforementioned vehicle.

According to the caption of the post, Chris said that he brought the car to a halt as he was approaching a pedestrian crossing. Moments after, the e-scooter rider abruptly crashed into the back of his car.

Subsequently, Chris claimed that he got out of the car to confront the reckless rider, and was met with a rude response by the rider who not only raised his voice, but even pointed the finger to him for “braking suddenly” which led to the collision.

Chris added that his car was slightly damaged, and he took down the rider’s phone number to “settle later”.

However, the rider allegedly told him that he did not have money to compensate for the repairs, and proceeded to block Chris’ calls.

Chris noted that he made a police report following the unfruitful confrontation.

The incident took place along Woodlands Ring Road.

Watch the full video of the incident here:

According to the Active Mobility Act, personal mobility devices (PMD) such as e-scooters or motorised wheelchairs are strictly prohibited on “public path or on all pedestrian-only paths generally”.

Besides that, first-time offenders can be slapped a S$300 fine for riding on local roads, and S$500 on major roads.

涨消费税为支付医疗教育 王瑞杰:绝非轻率决定

财政部长王瑞杰于星期四(2月28日)的国会总结预算案辩论上指出,宣布消费税将调涨,是为了支持医疗保健,以及其他部门入学前教育和国安方面的需求。 面对西海岸集选区议员胡美霞,促政府尽可能推迟上调消费税时,王瑞杰指出,新加坡已有足够资金应付各种未来支出,如用于支付立国一代配套(Merdeka Generation Package)以及用于未来基设支出的借贷,可以提供足够的财政空间,来延迟消费税的上调。 然而,他强调医疗保健上的支出,和政府所准备的立国一代配套拥有完全不同的规模和性质。 “我很欣赏胡美霞议员的建议。我向她和本会议员保证,我们并没有轻率地决定上调消费税。作为政府,我们有责任预测和规划未来的需求。过程中,我们需要区分一次性因素和潜在的结构性增长。” 收入需有结构性增长 王瑞杰概述了卫生部预计在2019年就将耗费61亿新元,以便通过让所有新加坡人享有的永久性计划来补贴病患的账单。他强调,有关的花费还不包括加强医疗设施的花费和开发更有效治疗的研究开支。 “随着人口老化,永久医疗保健计划和医疗系统等其他部分的支出,也将继续结构性的增加。” 他指出,筹备有关的资金致使我们的运营收入,需要结构性的增长。 “换句话说,我们的医疗支出基数正在上升。在这个不断增长的基本计划上,我们还为我们的建国一代和立国一代提供了特别配套。” 他表示,每个面对人口老化问题的社会,都面对了类似的结构性支出压力。他引述了最近经合组织(OECD)关于公共卫生花费上升的文章,文章表明到2060年,经合组织国家政府的中位数需要国内生产总值(GDP)的6.5巴仙额外收入。…
