- About 70 food-delivery riders turned up on Monday (Nov 11) at a meet-the-people session held in Taman Jurong. They spoke with Mr Ang Wei Neng, a Member of Parliament for the Jurong Group Representation Constituency. During the session, which lasted almost two hours, emotions ran high and things got heated as the riders aired their frustrations.

That doesn’t meant it is right for the general public to INFRINGE PMD riders’ PRIVACY by Wantonly taking pictures and DEMONISING them!

Who do you think you are? You think people so free to willy-nilly record you if you've done nothing wrong?
Abide the law and no one will record you.
Yeah, have no idea what the guy in red was shouting about. Sounded pretty tough but the words don’t make sense.
Please STOP ✋ all PMD & PMA users from Singapore for the sake of our people safety 🙏 🙏
Singaporeans, please walk out and get your own food.
Shouting and yelling is not going to solve any problems.Think carefully before talking.
He shd try shouting like that during the late LKY's era, during the 1950s'. Then u see what will happen to u later...!!!🙄😬😐
The pedestrians had long lost the freedom to walk safely on the pedestrian pathments because of many irresponsible PMD riders.
Yes they are very reckless...many times they came from behind me speeding without any warning..If I had moved to the left/right I would have been seriously injured...People have died because of this..Old man and now you drama on You Tube acting like you are the victim...This ban is justified
I have also witnessed many cases of people on bicycles who do not stop but charge on despite being on a pedestrian walkway ...
An example

www.straitstimes.com/singapore/cyclist-17-taken-to-hospital-after-accident-with-stationary-car
So can we ban all bicycles too ??
And dont forget that before the rule/ awarenees to reduce car speed in parking lots , there multiple fatalities .
Why didnt the gov ban cars ??
So it all depends on perspective ...
This video show just how much out of touch the elites are
Once Parliament pass the ban its not going to withdraw...just wait & see.....l am no garmen man...just a Singaporean who wants his CPF returned...Trust ls not what you say but what you promise ...at 55
@Judy GD
Please DEFINE “they”… A few rotten eggs and you want the whole lot to suffer? How about this, many people generally find Female Drivers to be poor at driving. Should we then ban ALL women from driving any class of vehicles?!
Disheartening to see this interaction. Disappointing to see both sides behave poorly despite everyone being citizens of Singapore.
PMD riders displayed hooliganism, and aggressiveness. Without any law or rules to govern them, I can imagine how they will be on the roads. Bullying their way through the cracks of the law.
On the other hand, the government representative knew that this was as good as a union address, where citizens livelihoods are concerned. They should have been more prepared on the topic rather than going just to show face.
Angry outburst and loud shouting is not the way to solve problem , let alone can bring positive solution to an existing issue . calm down and think before open your mouth, talk softly and behave civilly in all public forum.
i wonder why the mp is not able to answer his question until now.
Ban all PMD. Find new jobs for them lah
Yuppp...!!!😊
I am not going against the pmd riders but surely they should have had a backup plan just in case did they just assume they were gonna work in this job for the rest of their lives?
I have a design studio of my own, i started doing food delivery for extra cashflow purposes. But i only purchase my escooter 1 month ago. And registered with LTA. After receiving my registration mark number to ride on footpath for about 3 days they suddenly ban pmds. So who is gonna pay me back my $1000 i spent on the device? Even the 7mil contribution doesnt come free, theres requirements for the exchange, do some research and you may be able to understand why so many were pissed off.
@@howardtjh5082 my comment was about those working full time, my fault i should have stated clearly
@@mustaqiim40 Some people lack long term planning, its not your fault.
People are simply fuming cause they did not plan for an alternative, and perhaps for those who did, they are too cozy in their comfort zone to simply ADAPT.
"If you fail to plan for an alternative, you have simply plan to fail"
"'Alah-mak...!!!"'😳😨😱😬🙄❗❗❗ Ini dah terlebeh bang...!!!"'
"'...😄😁😆😅😂🤣.!!!"'
just ban PMD, most of them are kampong RIDERS, they drive so fast even if there is a person in front of them. they cannot slow down, just need few seconds to do that.. chibai
PUKIMAK kau!!!

Time is money bro, are you the kind of people who thinks you are still young and have all the time in the world to spend?
@@AtticusAng so meaning. Its okay to jeopardize the safety? Just u can earn money? Is that what u mean.. time is money?
@@gotchie1591 Nope, everything needs to be balanced in life to be successful. We cannot travel too slowly or the food will not be nice at the customers receiving end and at the same time we have to avoid colliding with pedestrians. So pedestrians stop being a f**king phone zombies or keep to your lane while using the shared paths.
Ban is necessary, but too late, cos its now a livelihood. Lta n g acted too slowly until situation is out of control.
Strongly agree...!!!😮🙄😬🤨😡☝️👍🫵
Not to blame everyone either the LTA or the PMD riders. In fact majority teenagers youngster is causing big problem everywhere down the road. Minister of transport is smart but not wise enough to handle this matter. That caused him lost in the recent general election. I did came to LTA headquater and interviewed in early stage February 6 2018. Tried to solve the problem by age matter.(Age control for elderly and those who doing food delivery)(Parents to send kid to school too) LTA making a consideration pertaining to the matter. I am trying to help those who really needed to use PMD. Such as delivery rider, elderly people and parents to send their kid to school. I really said the LTA making a big mistake. Minister of impulsive. Taking an action without looking at the world. As we all share the same breath. So in this life please understand everyone. This is my 2 cents suggestion to all minister. We're just an human being. We can't live for a million year. No citizen No minister No president No Police No army No Singapore. The doctor is a killer and the lawyer is a liar. There's 2 very dirty this in this world. No 1 is the politicians. No 2 is the businessman. When you hold an aces card, don't think that you win the game. Just remember there are 2 more card is greater than ace card that might kill an aces card.
All of this matter is our youngster...
Look at the video here. Most are uneducated young hooligans. Recently one lady talked about how she is a mother and it’s not safe for her to ride on the road. So is it safe for the pedestrians then with all the irresponsible riders speeding on the pavement? And that old man talking about their freedom taken away. Would you trust freedom in the hands of such people? Sorry, i dont.
These hooligans are trying and working menial jobs to put food for their families.
It just proves that they are not heartless and working hard .
Most likely hooligans are also cleaning the toilet you work at and prepare your food.
But of course their contribution is just to keep you well fed .. If they raise their voice or dont speak proper english .. Then they are hooligans ??
Out of touch elites
These are fellow singaporean, who are you to address them uneducated?
Let me correct your sentence, you meant your education its higher?
Then if thats the case shouldnt you be doing a part to contribute back for society? Helping at the bottom instead of criticism.
You are the lowly educated person here
Me. and 2.91 millions other singaporeans
Not hooligans just people trying to make a living...our jobs taken by FTs ...Go to Changi Business Park...u see Ramesh & his village all over the lsland...
Mr Brown
You were just being VERY DISCRIMINATIVE and ASSUMPTIOUS toward these people and thus your views are NOT credible. So much for being an “INCLUSIVE” society.
They should “suspend” the law until more dialogue and concrete plans be in place, for rules on the use of PMD specifically for the food delivery trade. They are performing a valuable service while earning their honest livelihood. Safety issues are paramount but there must be a compromise somewhere.
The immediate ban was abrupt and unnecessary. Is it in a rush for GE ? Poor consultation effort with public. Poor policy planning. Very lousy. Erosion of good governance. If they screw up this one, what else did they screw up? CPF ? HDB?
No lah they sincerely said with their heart all because they want to make a living n support their family.
@@nelsonlim9675 many Singaporeans do not feel for them because many are not dependent on pmd. It's an extremely selfish society that will eventually realise they cannot retire because of CPF hold up
That's why I hate all those facial recognizing devices. Big Brother is watching you...
In recent times, riders speed in bicycles to meet efficiency in their delivery standards! This is also seen as a rash act that can injure pedestrians on pathways. It’s not about the mode of transport, but rather the idea of correcting the riders’ attitudes and inclusiveness for a safe and sound journey ahead :)
Rather than banning and restricting pmd and pab can rather make a license for ppl to ride safely ppl who without license should be fine and jail than will be fair for both parties as there are some ppl trying to make livings and for those who go against the law should be fine and jail
As there are a lot of underage rider riding recklessly is not everyone fault this I my opinion
The ban is welcome for safety reason but it should be done in phase rather them instant ban giving all this peoples no time to plan or seek alternative
THK Teo well said, that points to which minister or above initial the total banned?
Hmm this is as close as a "strike" as we would ever get in Singapore..
Reading the comments below. I can tell that Singaporean PMD haters are SO “inclusive” of others.. I bet almost all of them OWNED their OWN private transport to be so freely criticising those using the device.
CONVENIENTLY Using the so called “Safety reasons” to support the ban when they are just PURLY ANNOYED by PMDs moving about in their mist! Why not get Pedestrians to NOT walk on bicycle lanes while LOOKING at their phones for their own safety?!
CONVENIENTLY? Why not get Pedestrians to NOT walk on bicycle lanes while LOOKING at their phones for their own safety?
Yes! Why not? Stick to your lane, and educate those to stick to theirs! Don't ride on FOOTPATHS! Simple right?
I agree..
Who is the majorities voted for it?
The way they talk like a gangsters, please ban the escooter .
So the way they talk is wrong to your ears , but us their message wrong ??
Are they wrong to ask why their rice bowl is taken away ?
Are they wrong when the wonder how to decide which yo pay , housing , eletricity or food for the kids .
Sad when "civil" discourse mean ypu myst always speak proper englush .
Thats the problem with yes men
🤷♂️
To be fair they are probably not as educated as you are that's why they speak in such a crude manner. Given the fact that they aren't that educated, food delivery is their main source of income and their rice bowl are taken away from them hence the heat. Give them a chance to voice themselves out. At least they didn't spout vulgarities/ physically threaten the mp and honestly that's good enough.
If u are in they shoes what u did is the same. U said the are gangster any proof... Then why police nv arrest them... He is fighting for a rice bowl
Wow your comment its clearly stereotyping, why dont you leave sg for good instead?
he talk too much govt is good still give 7 million taxpayer money it is also my money give to you this type clown look how you wear like a clown take photo on ppl without permission is wrong but if you have commit a offence then it become a evidence why ppl want to take a animals if the animals didnt commit a crime

3.91 millions vs 7000, how you choose?
@Andy Soh
Are you SURE it’s only “7000”? These riders represents ONLY a portion of E-scooter riders whose occupation are to deliver food from ONE company. I’ve yet to even mention those who uses the COST EFFECTIVE device to fetch Children from schools.
7000 also singaporean , majority low income family ,we should take care of them
@@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG Cost effective? How effective? $1XXX to buy the e-Scooter, $XXX to charge it, $XXX to maintain it. Isn't a bicycle more COST EFFECTIVE? I don't have the exact figures, I'm sure you know why, just a ballpark figure.
@@westmanson7308 investing in either a car license or a motorcycle license would have given a long term benefit
3.91millions vs 7000?
It's not 7000 OK. More than that. 7000 only deliveroo n foodpanda.. Excluding GrabFood..
Only DOGS will vote PAP!
Ok so why are you wasting time trying to fight against the law now ? I mean think about it. Would the government have implemented the law if it was not for the handful or PMD users who speed down pavements. Hitting people. Taking someone love ones away. So tell me why would you bother taking the time to fight the law when you should actually sit and think why they implemented it. Who caused it. What can you do to since it's already in place. There are other jobs out there. Not saying that you guys are not fit for it or etc. But you are already in this time where they have put a stop to it. So rather then wasting time trying to fight your case with the government who we know will take everything for them to revert their decisions. How about we try another alternative for now ? Just my 2 cents
These jokers talk like leaders. Why are they there instead working in big organisation
"'Hmmm...!!!"'🙄🤔 Good point...!!!🙄😬🤨☝️👍🫵
Can we stop being stupid? Don't compare a car on the road vs a PMD.
There is proper infrastructure (eg. roads/traffic lights) and laws to control how cars are used on the road. While on the other hand, there is no proper infrastructure and laws yet to control PMDs YET on foot paths, that pedestrians are using also. Don't compare the 2 dangers together. Accidents happen.
We need to make decisions that benefit 60-70% of the population vs 30-40%. It's called democracy. There are no perfect policies, so the government just needs to be pro-active to adapt. But you can't complain about democracy just because it does not benefit you. Stop being selfish and look at the big picture. Not able to please everyone, if you want that than nothing will ever be done.
If you only want laws that benefit you, then sorry because democracy is not for you.
Fully agree with Mariah. Those smart Alex pse stop suggesting government to deploy officers to police d pmd riders. LTA has tried but very limited success as pmd riders can appear anywhere anytime. Government has exhausted all d means to contain d problem. It has no alternative but to ban it before more casualties.
@@rebeccalau2886 Righttt...!!!🤨☝️👍🫵
@@rebeccalau2886 Agree...!!!🤨
Yup no cfp for grab food... Who going to pay cfp contribution to the grab driver or grab food...
What cha gotta do when the PMD riders run wild on you!!
Smack them hard
More like wild chickens , what can those chickens do? They can only blame themselves and their fellow riders for riding recklessly and dangerously and endangering pedestrains liives.
just go and get a real job lah. not some of job which make you go nowhere and stuck at the bottom until by the time you want to find a real job, you already too old and resume don't have any good skillsets other than riding PMD
In the end ban.
they are getting ebike and $1000? is that not enough. ebike and pmd is the same
Not all get e 1k bro.
Way to go man best speak in town
Before delivery food was a thing...l
Pontianak???!!
Betul govement
Pap Jia lat LA. Let ft in den take our rice bowl. Den now scooter earn Makan also Wan to disturb. Jia lat
Non officer VS officer.
Give them share lane with buses n buy insurance.
You contribute to country yes but you also must care about the human safety cannot think about yourself to be fast n earn more money
Vote lah
I feel sad to see this video because of livelihood was taken away. Give the Gov some time to think of a best solution. They are also in difficult position. At the meantime, look for other alternative available in the job market. Maybe things can work out better and happier. Unhappiness will only brings sadness. Cheer up
Mai lj they choose to bring in these pmd shit don't come and say gov in a difficult position
they r talking to d small guppy...wat can he do
I take my hat off to Ang Wei Neng, a MP facing an angry electorate/crowd. It takes guts, he didn't have to do it. How many other MPs did it? I do think the grassroots leader in the suit is a dimwit. Fancy turning up to face blue-collar daily-rated workers in a jacket like he's going to some trendy nightclub! In a humid country like Singapore. How can you reach out to the people? Peabrain. Kudos to Ang Wei Neng however.
True...!!!😬
take away your freedom. you must be joking! you can always ride bicycle do deliveries like what others do.
You think people want their food cold?
@Wan Jo
He was referring to the Freedom of INDIVIDUAL CHOICES moron. Use your brain please, even though I could tell that you have limited brain power. He’s an old man. How would you suggest him to ride bicycle all day to deliver food at the SAME EFFICIENCY as using an E-Scooter?!
Freedom already taken years ago......only HL park got some freedom of speech...
So smart leh you. Dont even need to use your brain can make joke already.
Billy The-Kid bunch of whiners want to get money without hard work
Bikers said 5 demand not one less

You guys are NOT important for an Elite society...the imported FT is MORE IMPORTANT...must facilitate them and NOT you guys lah!!!... The vision of an Elite Society by LKY MUST adhere to leh!!!

Fuck u!!!
Just becouse opposition's party pointed out that jobless singaporens who had no job opportunities and they had to resort to other means of work to make ends Meet by food delivery,and it's not a small sum but large sum 😳 of them ,so the Instant Soluition Is to Banned the Problem haaaaa so abolish E-schooters entirely, good but not all are miss users only the Punks lol ,Pls give the Food Delivers Asylum they did not do wrong or misuse E-schooter, give them Free Pass Please 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Gov should just make a bike lane but fr the entire sg will be under construction
The footpaths were designed only for pedestrians and not pmds n bicycles. It was a mistake to allow them on footpaths, started brb that useless mabok tan in tampines, now the ban is too late.
But its better for pedestrians.
Don’t take benefits, then don’t take the 7 mil :)
