There is no stopping the inevitable. If you can't beat them it's time to join in the fun!

 
The Dualtron Thunder! 5400 watts of mind boggling power. If you can stay upright you can easily outrun those lame fun police. They'll be eating your dust!

With this model you can forget about the MRT and its unending delays. You'll arrive at your destination in half the time.

 
these escooters if use rightly can do commuters a world of good,,,however the road infrastructure, road regulations etc need to be addressed and worked out,,,insurance, licences etc,,,,same as for cars and bicycles,,,,anything on the road etc needs to be licenced except maybe pedestrains
 
When this arrives mid year it will be the ultimate ride ever!

If Singapore can allow Malaysian registered motorbikes and cars on the road they should pretty much allow any sort of contraption.

Licensing means nothing with a Malaysian registered vehicle and neither does insurance. If you get hit by one you'll experience first hand what I mean.

True to form the Singapore government goes after the small fries (citizens) that are easy targets while leaving a gaping hole in the regulations.

The law will not change because the PAP government dare not take a stand against its Northern neighbor. That is why Malaysian ships can operate in Singapore waters with impunity. All the Mad Hatter had to do was to extend the boundary by declaration.

However when it comes to e scooter laws it is easy to impose stifling regulations and harsh penalties because the majority of those affected are sinkies who are fair game.

And yet the 70% voted for it

Two Malaysian vessels stubbornly remain in Singapore waters, even after meeting between foreign ministers

Despite both its foreign ministers having met face to face on Tuesday and promised to play nice with each other, the maritime dispute between Singapore and Malaysia is far from over. After all, there are two Malaysian vessels still remaining in Singapore’s territorial waters, not complying at all to the city-state’s sovereignty.
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) confirmed yesterday that two Malaysian government vessels have yet to leave Singapore’s territorial waters off Tuas as of 6pm yesterday. One of the vessels — MV Pedoman — even hosted a visit by Johor Chief Minister Osman Sapian on Wednesday, despite being anchored in Singapore’s waters.


The Malaysian Marine Department disagreed, asserting that the buoy-laying vessel is well within the Johor Bahru Port limits.

Be that as it may, but having two Malaysian government vessels parked in Singapore’s waters is a much better situation than it was on Wednesday, when there were as many as five of them, according to the MPA.
Troubled waters
The maritime dispute erupted last year when Singapore warned its northern neighbors to back off after Malaysia sent government vessels into its waters.

The strained relations began back on Oct 25, when Malaysia published altered limits to its Johor Bahru Port, which extended significantly eastward and intruded into Singapore’s territorial waters. Despite Singapore’s objection to the changes (three diplomatic notes were sent), it appears that Malaysia paid no heed to the protest and allowed its vessels to cruise into Singapore waters after the alteration.
Malaysia, on the other hand, disagreed that the altered Johor Port Limits infringed on Singapore’s territorial waters off Tuas, emphasizing that its government vessels were simply patrolling its territorial waters.
“This is a blatant provocation and a serious violation of our sovereignty and international law,” said Singapore’s Minister of Transport Khaw Boon Wan, who said that there had been at least 14 intrusions made by the vessels prior to Dec 6.
But that was back then, when tensions were still pretty high. Things are relatively calmer now that the countries’ foreign ministers held a “fruitful and positive” meeting earlier this week. According to Singapore’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan, they’ve agreed to establish a working group to discuss how they can de-escalate the situation on the ground.

The day after the meeting, Singapore’s next potential prime ministerHeng Swee Keat called for calm and unity among Singaporeans, while also urging Malaysia to cease their intrusions.
 
2 ships in Singapore's waters and refuse to leave?

How about a bit of gentle persuasion?

What happened to e motorbike? I want one made from this version of honda scooter

Proof that Singapore roads were built for everyone not just cars.

If we could all coexist in the good old days without a ridiculous list of regulations why can't we do so now?

here we go again....

  1. Population density
  2. Car centric urban design

Population density is the main reason why cars should banished from the roads unless absolutely necessary.

Car centric urban design can easily be reversed. All it takes is a few relatively minor changes.

 
Not just in Ang Moh countries chinks are realising the advantages of being car free too.

ADRIAN SMITH + GORDON GILL ARCHITECTURE
A new satellite city planned in Southwest China could serve as a model for a modern suburb: Instead of a layout that makes it necessary to drive, the streets are designed so any location can be reached by 15 minutes on foot.

The plans, designed by Chicago-based architects Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill, don’t call for completely banning cars, but only half of the road area will allow motorized vehicles. The city will also connect to the larger, nearby city of Chengdu with public transit. Out of an expected population of 80,000 people, most will be able to walk to work in local neighborhoods. The project was originally planned for completion in 2020, but that may be delayed–it’s currently on hold because of zoning issues.

I agree that car centric design should be reversed. But we are NOT doing it the British half-arsed screw all road users "traffic calming" way. It is not a step ahead.

I would be even willing to accept a car ban in dense areas too and despite what others say, I think Singapore is an ideal environment for car-less urban design.

So far I've agreed with everything you've said EXCEPT for that fucked up British road design.

You know it's funny, with all the shit in this forum, the only time I've ever gotten mad is this shite about the special consultants "traffic calming" measures. I've never seen a dumber implementation of unguided government policy in my life.
