t was earlier reported in January (‘LTA officer told not to issue illegal parking summonses‘) that a LTA traffic warden was told by his higher up not to issue illegal parking summonses to cars parked illegally outside the Siglap South Community Centre along Palm Road at East Coast.
The incident was captured on video which then went viral: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nhO9eUOquE
The video shows a member of the public angrily asking an LTA officer why he refused to “summon” or fine a number of cars that were parked illegally outside the Siglap South Community Centre along Palm Road at East Coast.
Apparently, there was, at the time, an event held inside the community centre attended by a PAP MP.
The LTA warden told the member of the public that his superior had instructed him not to issue any summons for illegally parked cars which supposedly belonged to PAP grassroots leaders.
Whether or not the illegally parked cars belonged to PAP grassroots leaders, from the video, the fact that they were illegally parked was obvious. There are double yellow lines along the side of Palm Road and the cars were parked smack on them.
Despite the LTA officer sheepishly admitting to the angry citizen that the cars were illegally parked, he did not issue any summonses because he said he was instructed not to.
