“你的一句话,我失去千元” 送餐员叹因电动滑板车禁令断生计

Five SERS blocks in Tiong Bahru provides "exclusive" living for expats.

最近公布的电动滑板车禁令,尤其GrabFood送餐员受影响最甚,有者感叹道,“你的一句话,令我一夕之间少了1200元收入,怎么办?”。

陆路交通管理局于周一(11月5日)发出禁止电动滑板车在人行道上行驶,只能在脚车道和公共连接道上行驶的禁令,周二开始宽限期至今年年杪,明年正式开始实施。违规者一旦被定罪,将面对不超过2000元的罚款,以及不超过三个月的监禁。

这直接影响了我国超过7000名,采用电动滑板车送货的送餐员,且大部分都是GrabFood送餐伙伴成员。

一名GrabFood送餐员希瓦(Siva)就在脸书群组 SG Confessions上帖文,分享有关禁令对其生计带来的严重影响。

希瓦指出,他指2018年开始成为送餐员,而身为一名工艺教育学院(ITE)毕业生的他,正业是一名白领上班族,月入2200元,没有花红且只能领三日病假。但是自从当GrabFood送餐员开始,他每个月可以获得3500元的收入。

他表示,3500元的收入,加上妻子的2000元月入,让他们觉得目前是建立家庭的好时机,他们更购买了一间位于蔡厝港,价值25万元的预购组屋(BTO)。

我帮助国家,它却不愿帮我

但是有关的禁令,却令他措手不及,“这意味着我将只能回到原点,月入突然少了1200元。我还需要为我的宝宝买尿片、奶粉,以及看护保姆,现在简直入不敷出了。”

他指出,他已经依着政府的指示行使,包括购买有UL2272认证的滑板车、小心驾驶(甚至保持两年不曾撞过任何人的记录)、注册个人代步工具、持有稳定工作、成家生子,他都一一做了。“但是政府还是下达了禁令,将能够让我获得良好收入的工作夺走了。”

“我想成为好公民,通过工作和生子来帮助国家,我想帮助我的国家,但是我的国家现在不想帮助我。”

“告诉我我现在应该怎么做?只是一句话导致我的收入严重下降……我要怎么面对我的妻子,我要怎么告诉我的孩子,我不能带他们出去享受一些家庭娱乐了?”

他自嘲自己是个忠心的新加坡人,但是国家并没有照顾他。

大部分阅读了该帖文的网民,都促请希瓦停止抱怨,且寻找替代的交通:

然而,他们缺乏同理心的态度,真的令人震惊。

惟,也有少数网民对希瓦的处境表示同情,并建议政府采用严格的规定,让电板车骑士,尤其是GrabFood送餐伙伴能够使用个人代步工具,以保障民众的安全,也帮助依靠其努力工作的人们:

有者则认为,无论采用什么交通工具,意外都有可能发生,至于有关的工具是否安全使用,则取决于使用者了。
