Proposed changes to traffic rules send wrong signal to road users
The Straits Times|November 20, 2024
The proposed changes to traffic rules to prevent some offenders from being "overly punished" are inappropriate, unwise and lack empathy for the victims (Proposed changes to traffic rules to prevent some offenders from being overly punished, Nov 11), particularly the one on the removal of mandatory minimum sentences for first-time offenders who commit dangerous driving offences that cause grievous hurt or death.
- Foo Sing Kheng

I believe the aim of the sentences is not just to punish offenders, but also to act as a deterrence to potential offenders who will hopefully understand the serious consequences of dangerous driving.
