WTF, accident at Hougang St 51, why send to Tan Tock Seng and not Sengkang General?
 
E-bikes, PMDs, PMAs and anything that has a motor should only be operated by riders who are licensed and have insurance coverage. All these devices must also have a licence plate. Treat them just like motorcyclists.
