ALOT. Every weekend, I will be able to see 3 or 4
Just now at Bedok Central I was walking towards from Falala to Sheng Siong
Saw a Malay man in his early 40s with a ulta fat Dinobu on PMA
They got off at SS with 2 or 3 recycle bags to do groceries
Definitely can walk very well

No longer differentiated for dismobility and healthy persons

No gov body regulating it but it’s helping in the GDP.
1. Seller of this mobility scooters
2. SP and other energy provided as owner needs to charge it.
3. As owner prolong sitting and minimum or no exercising, their blood don’t circulate well and will clotted then will result in high blood, high blood sugar and high cholesterol. This will largely benefit the medical in SG. Nurse got job, doctors got patient and insurance companies Huat.
Then if this mobility scooter caught fire?
1. SCDF got job
2. MP got job
3. Town council got job
4. Contractor (repairing or Reno) got job
5. Medical got job (if got injury)
6. Funeral parlor got job (if got casualty)
7. Insurance agent got job
8. Property agent got job (if owner is the casualty)
Look at how the $ roll$. Who wants to be hero and dares to put a stop to this?

They have legs but cannot walk lah!
RE: More people in Singapore are relying on mobility scooters to get around - sgh - 03-03-2024
I always say only when hand or leg disappeared then allowed to ride PMD so confirm hard to be abused.
RE: More people in Singapore are relying on mobility scooters to get around - Ola - 03-03-2024
It is about time to set the 10 Criteria for PMA, liao
Maximum weightload
Limit speed to 5km/hr
or those with 1 leg
or elderly above 65 years -old and prone to falls
Has Hospital Report
Cannot ride inside supermarket
Otherwise fine $5,000
RE: More people in Singapore are relying on mobility scooters to get around - Tangsen - 03-03-2024
Only person with medical conditions are allowed to use PMD … its being abuse and getting out of hand

They can do this because:-
1. Contrary to the big fat lies told by the 39%, Singaporeans are affluent and can afford to buy these toys
2. The roads and walkways/footpaths here are so well made that it's one smooth ride from point A to point B. I was in Melaka recently and never saw even once a PMA or PMD. There were no footpaths in most places, so you walk on five foot ways and it's one step up or down, sometimes two, from one shop to the next. How to ride?

PMA
Not PMD.
PMD is already as good as pban. Those are two wheelers. PMAs are three or four wheelers and very big...

Msia no COE and petrol is subsidized so of cuz no PMD. They use motorcycle and car which is more faster and efficient.

You can buy a second hand motorbike for RM3K in Malaysia. Who the hell would pay more for a slow as cock PMA/PMD? Only the CECA pukimak like Oyk won't know a damn thing about Malaysia as he's from Shitland.

You ride a motorcycle cycle from Bugis Junction to Fu Lu Shou building? Or drive a Ferrari?

If I can afford both Ferrari and motorcycle then both will do just fine

You're right lah!
Nowadays people are lazy to walk lah. They have lifts, escalators, travellators, all kinds of mobile devices lah.
RE: More people in Singapore are relying on mobility scooters to get around - TopSage - 04-03-2024
To the lawbreakers, what is the difference between PMA and pmd ?
RE: More people in Singapore are relying on mobility scooters to get around - RiseofAsia - 04-03-2024
It is a good mean of transportation. But the speed limit must reduce to 10km/hr as it is riding on the pavement as well.
If the usage becomes higher, the pavement and PCN need to be widen?
RE: More people in Singapore are relying on mobility scooters to get around - K88 shu shu - 04-03-2024
loophole of our law.
LTA sleeping on the job.
RE: More people in Singapore are relying on mobility scooters to get around - ODA TETSURO - 04-03-2024
Guess correctly! Usually Malay families got PMDs, because they either eat KFC or Macdonalds or Long John Silver...easily getting fat.

The PMA should be walking speed of average Asians in his 60s or 70s. These are humongous machines and 4.5km/ hr is sufficient.
RE: More people in Singapore are relying on mobility scooters to get around - aiptasia - 04-03-2024
Just slap a huge tax on these horrible PM whatevers.
RE: More people in Singapore are relying on mobility scooters to get around - singaporean1964 - 04-03-2024
the law should say
if you are a got hand got leg and can fly type of ah beng
then you are not allowed to usE PMA
OLD PPLE WITHOUT DISABILITY SHOULD BE ALLOWED
those with children who want to bring the children to school can pply to govt individually for a 3 to 5yr licence...once the children leave school...then not allow to use...
