Dr Neo Kok Beng asked the Minister for Transport whether foreign-registered vehicles that do not meet Singapore sunshade requirements are allowed on Singapore roads.
Reply by Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:
1. Foreign-registered vehicles on Singapore’s roads are required to meet vehicle standards stipulated under the United Nations Convention on Road Traffic 1949, which Singapore and our neighbouring countries, including Malaysia and Thailand, are signatories to.
2. The improper use of sunshades that obscure a driver’s vision, whether in a local or foreign-registered vehicle, is not allowed under these standards.
