Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Public Education for Online Sellers of Personal Mobility Aids Given Upcoming Changes to Regulations

07 May 2024In Parliament

Ms Yeo Wan Ling asked the Minister for Transport in view of the upcoming changes to Personal Mobility Aid (PMA) regulations, how will the Ministry educate and engage online sellers of PMAs in the conduct of sales, especially regarding the sales of such devices to delivery riders.

Reply by Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat:

1. LTA will take into account operators' track record in meeting these new requirements when assessing operators' licence renewal applications.

2. LTA will also work with the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) to explore ways to strengthen enforcement against online platforms that promote the sale of non-compliant active mobility devices.
