Who do you think paid for the banglas to tar the roads or the overpaid engineers who designed the flyovers?
Yes, but which law says that only those who pay road and vehicle tax have those rights? Which country taxes cyclists and pedestrians? What burden are they to the infrastructure?

There is technically no law to bar cyclists from using motorised vehicles roads but there should be one!!!!
Other countries have dedicated cycling lanes but not in Spore coz these cyclists have contributed zilch. So there!
Time to realise that the traffic condition is no longer similar to that of the past. FUCK PAP! :oIo::kma:
The natural law ...he who pays the piper calls the shots.
Sinkapore sets its own laws as it has always done. It can do another first by taxing cyclists and pedestrians.
Cyclists use the road ...the PAP have never accepted free loaders. So, why shouldn't they have to pay to use the roads like motorists?
Alamak ...so simple and you still ask the question. In sinkapore, we Pay and Pay. You pay, you can play. No pay means no play.
If the government is consistent in handling out sentences, then road rage will be a thing of the past.
Let's have one sentence for ALL crimes since we believe deterrent is key to our justice system. If the punishment for all offences is death, we should see a substantial drop in law-breakers.

Angmo cyclist should know that in Asia, life is cheap. So, if you ride your bike on the road, you take an unnecessary risk. Motorists are rushing every day and your bicycle is just an added inconvenience to motorist. If a car knocks the cyclist down, it is just a light sentence. The justice system supports drivers.
People who does not pay road tax shall not use the road. Period.
Roads are built and maintained using general taxes for all road users. No such thing as exclusivity. This might interest you:

-Land Transport Authority (LTA) Singapore
Cyclist Rights On Road, a site dedicated to public awareness about commuting by bicycle and to share about the cycling experience in Singapore, received the following reply from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore regarding why cyclists do not pay road tax:
LTA's full official reply:
We refer to your email on 17 April 2013 to REACH.
We appreciate and share your concerns for the well being of all road users, be they pedestrians, cyclists or motorists. Public roads are intended to be used by all road users, including cyclists and pedestrians. They are built and maintained using public funds collected from general taxes, including those who do not use motorised vehicles. All road users should use the roads responsibly with consideration for other road users. To have safer roads, we are reaching out via public education together with the Traffic Police as well as the Safe Cycling Task Force.
To share with you, like most other countries, LTA does not license bicycles. This is because majority of the people may use bicycles for leisure or recreational purposes. Thus, it is administratively cumbersome to licence and maintains the registration records of bicycles for the purpose of road tax collection.
Having exempted bicycles from registration requirements in Singapore since 1982, its re-introduction would not only be viewed as regressive but will unnecessarily subject bicycle owners to onerous requirements. At the same time, it does not sufficiently protect other road users due to the difficulty of enforcing such requirements. Licensing is therefore neither practical nor cost-effective. Developed countries like UK, Japan, USA, EU countries, Australia and New Zealand also do not require the registration of bicycles.
Apart from traffic measures we need the co-operation of all road users to create a safe travelling environment. Through its public education programmes, the Traffic Police (TP) has been constantly reminding motorists to drive carefully and look out for other motorists and pedestrians on roads. These public education efforts will be stepped up to remind all road users to play their part to make our roads safe for all. We have copied TP and the Singapore Road Safety Council (SRSC) in this email for their attention.
