SINGAPORE — The Active Mobility Advisory Panel has submitted recommendations to regulate safe path-sharing among PMD users and pedestrians.

SINGAPORE — A minimum age requirement of 16 years old. A mandatory theory test requirement. A ban on use of mobile phones while riding.

The e-scooter rider, a 20-year-old man, was arrested after the accident. The Land Transport Authority said that the e-scooter had exceeded the prescribed weight and width limit for use on public paths. The AMAP is headed by Dr Faishal Ibrahim, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for the Ministry of Social and Family Development and Ministry of Education. In a Facebook post on Friday, Dr Faishal said, “The irresponsible actions of an individual took the innocent life of a mother, sister and friend – friendly, generous and caring to all around her.”
