Proposed Safe Riding Programme for Freelancers Using Motorcycles for Delivery Work

Ms See Jinli Jean asked the Minister for Home Affairs in light of the rise in accidents involving motorcyclists, whether the Ministry will consider (i) partnering with NTUC’s National Delivery Champions Association that represents freelance delivery riders to introduce a structured safe riding programme for freelancers using motorcycles for delivery work and (ii) working closely with motor insurers to enhance safety awareness among motorcyclists and motorists.

The Minister of State for Home Affairs (Assoc Prof Dr Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim) (for the Minister for Home Affairs): We welcome partnerships with organisations to enhance road safety. The Traffic Police will reach out to the organisations mentioned by the Member.
