SINGAPORE: Road safety and penalties under the Road Traffic Act will be discussed at the next parliament sitting following public concern in light of several recent multi-vehicle accidents, including the incident in Tampines that killed two.

Chairman of the Government Parliamentary Committee that oversees transport, Saktiandi Supaat has raised several parliamentary questions to the Ministry of Transport (MOT) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).

Among them is whether the authorities will consider stricter enforcement measures or legislative changes to "ensure greater accountability" and discourage dangerous driving.

Parliament will next sit on May 7.

Mr Saktiandi said in a Facebook post on Wednesday (Apr 24) that he has received feedback from residents expressing concerns about road safety, both generally and specifically in the Toa Payoh area.

There is also growing concern about the adequacy of existing penalties for reckless driving, said the Member of Parliament of Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC.

"There have been a number of multi-vehicle accidents lately but the recent cases in Tampines and on the PIE (Pan Island Expressway) on Apr 22 have deeply affected those involved and the wider Singaporean community."

Two people, a 17-year-old student at Temasek Junior College and a 57-year-old woman, were killed following the accident in Tampines on Monday morning. The incident involved four cars, a van and a minibus. Six other people were taken to hospital, including a 42-year-old car driver who was eventually arrested.

Later that same day, six people were taken to hospital after an accident along the PIE involving six cars and a taxi. Among the injured was a seven-year-old.

"My heartfelt condolences go out to the families who have lost loved ones and are injured in these tragic incidents. It is truly saddening to hear of innocent lives being lost and the unnecessary pain and injury caused due to reckless actions by individuals," wrote Mr Saktiandi.

"I strongly believe that meaningful changes must be made to minimise such accidents, whether through revisiting and enhancing current mitigating measures or implementing stricter enforcement to deter dangerous behavior and protect law-abiding motorists and pedestrians alike."

Q1) In my opinion, I would feel indignant due to the unfairness that the casualty died instead of the driver. Her family worked so hard to support her in her education and she made it into Temasek JC but just in a flash, she passed on and all the efforts were in vain.

Q2) I do believe that there is enough efforts have been made to instil road safety awareness but some of the drivers do not take road safety as a priority hence resulting in many accidents.

I would feel very sad and might cry because the friend of mine that was the victim was very kind, friendly and nice.

Efforts to promote road safety awareness in Singapore have been quite robust. The government has implemented various measures, including public education campaigns, strict enforcement of traffic laws, installation of speed cameras and road signage, as well as continuous improvements in road infrastructure to enhance safety.

1)If i were a friend of one of the victims involved in the accident, I would be devastated to receive news about my friend that she has passed. I feel like it's really sad because the teenage girl was really close with her dad whose facing health problems. And she's still so young, it's like wasted because she just graduated sec school and joined jc.

2)I think Singapore has promoted road safety alot of times in school and during drivers license test, it's just the driver's problem that he was being reckless and he has no remorse for the victims.

i would feel sad, but would a way find a way to honor her in some sort of way or form, or maybe sympathise with her mourning family.

and yes i believe something about promoting road safety, since its important for the pedestrians as some of them are kids going to school independently without their parents.
