This is not about siding the PMD users or supporting those 66k persons who signed petition against the PMD(a lot of votes)
The blame is on the people who works under the Govt whom allowed these mobile machines to be on the footpaths and walkways. Did these Govt people consider the infrastructure, the dangers of the speed, the safety of the citizens sharing the same walkways ? All these issues should have been discussed thoroughly before they were let in.
Many things happened when these machines started to hit the footpaths. First , food delivery companies abused it, the riders working on jobs earn on the number- gain delivery--speed is money; safety is not their business. These riders have become lazy , sweating on the bicycles is out of the question. Its too late to switch since they knew PMD is the right lazy tool. There will be no end to it dealing with these people with or without grants, after all 66K vs 7k riders, the political stand is a slam dunk.
Generally, many PMD users are ill-mannered , most of them have no proper jobs, the only way for these so-called Poor to earn quick money in Singapore is about more quick deliveries. So sending food and driving Grab become an overnight sensation. Locals are chasing these dreams beside queuing at the 4D counters. The PMD is wholly abused. The stressful pedestrians are just victims of the circumstance.
The petition culminates a Ban on the PMD is no heroic measure to save life, people against the PMD must not be carried away thinking PAP has done the right thing. All these things should not have happened if due diligence was given in the first place.
Lately ,the old wise man had said local Singaporeans are third- world class people but third world jobs in Singapore are taken up by cheap foreign labor who get rich on exchange rates, so what you want them to do, be postmen or post women on $1500 per month and a measly workfare supplement ? Upgrade their skill to compete with CECA IT warriors?
PMD Ban is no hero of PAP, let alone sympathy for the riders. The people who signed petition against the PMD should also think thrice before complimenting the PAP action on the ban.
PAP should openly apologize to Singaporeans on the PMD saga. PMD ban on footpaths must be a permanent damage control until such time when the massive infrastructure is put in place.
Think about it, if this PMD on the footpaths supposed to be a simple task is a wrong decision after real life problems surfaces , what else could happen , unbridled immigration, the CECA, the 6.9 million? Mind you, these unpopular policies can cause eternal destruction to Singapore if later found to be wrong decisions.
This is my personal opinion. If Doctor Tan is reading, please help Singapore to be great again!! Look at the PMD ban saga, the educated and uneducated local Singaporeans are already displaced.
