Written Reply to Parliamentary Question

Mr Melvin Yong Yik Chye asked the Acting Minister for Transport whether the Ministry has plans to reconsider requiring all users of Personal Mobility Devices (PMD) to purchase compulsory insurance to safeguard the interests of both pedestrians and PMD users in the event of an accident involving the PMD.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:

1.          Commercial riders using active mobility device on public paths must have third-party liability insurance coverage during their course of work. We encourage, but do not mandate, all other riders to purchase insurance to protect themselves from claims.
