Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Minister for Transport
a. whether foreign-registered motorcycles or scooters are allowed to be used in Singapore for delivery services, carriage of goods within Singapore for hire or reward, or as part of their employment and, if so, how does LTA ensure that such owners or users have valid motor insurance policies allowing such uses in Singapore; and
b. what actions will be taken against those who do not have motor insurance policies allowing such uses.
Reply by Senior Minister of State for Transport Dr Lam Pin Min:
1. Foreign-registered motorcycles and scooters can be used in Singapore for delivery services, provided that the rider have a valid work pass and comply with the Ministry of Manpower's work pass regulations and the vehicle is insured against third party bodily injury and death.
2. Drivers caught by LTA for using a vehicle without valid insurance can be fined up to $1,000 or imprisoned for up to 3 months, or both.
