SINGAPORE — Three electric scooter riders will be charged in court on Friday (March 9) for allegedly injuring pedestrians, among them a 61-year-old woman and two boys aged eight and 11, on three separate occasions last year.

The three men, aged between 23 and 32, will each face a charge of negligent act causing hurt, the police said in a press release on Thursday (March 8). If convicted, they can be jailed up to six months or fined up to S$2,500, or both.

Mandatory registration of e-scooters was announced on Wednesday by the Land Transport Authority, which had earlier introduced similar requirements for electric bicycles. Tough new penalties have also kicked in for unregistered or non-compliant e-bikes.

The authorities have been taking tougher action against errant users of personal mobility devices like e-scooters and e-bikes in the past year, amid growing complaints about speeding and reckless behaviour by the riders.

Police looking for e-scooter rider who allegedly hit woman in Bedok

12 Mar 2018 09:54PM (Updated: 12 Mar 2018 10:04PM)


SINGAPORE: The police are looking for a man believed to be the e-scooter rider who hit a woman in Bedok, seriously injuring her.

The appeal was put up on Monday (Mar 12), together with a photo of a man wearing a blue top. Police said they are looking into a case of rash act causing hurt.

The incident happened last Wednesday at about 6.05pm, at Block 151 Bedok Reservoir Road, said the police.

Channel NewsAsia understands that the woman, 45-year-old Goh Lay Yong, was hit from behind as she stepped off an overhead bridge. She was conscious when she was taken to Changi General Hospital.

The woman's condition appeared to have taken a turn for the worse.

On Sunday, her brother Goh Yong Ann wrote on Facebook that she had to undergo surgery, just two days after he posted that the bleeding in her brain had stopped.

Another family member, Alverna Cher, wrote on Monday that the woman is in the intensive care unit and that the "next 48 hours is critical".

E-scooter rider gets 10 weeks for punching pedestrian who suffered fractures

SINGAPORE - A man flew into a rage after he fell and damaged the strap of his e-scooter while trying to avoid a pedestrian.

Jonathan Mark Tan Wei Wen, 24, demanded compensation from Mr Joshua Shane Ng Cheng Wei, 29, but he refused to pay and instead walked away.

Tan caught up with him and punched his head, causing him to fall. He pinned down Mr Ng and continued hitting his head and face, despite intervention by passers-by.

Mr Ng suffered fractures in his nose and right eye socket.

On Monday (Dec 11), Tan was jailed 10 weeks for the assault.

The court heard that Mr Ng was walking along a zebra crossing near Block 110, Rivervale Walk at about 1am on March 19 when Tan, riding his e-scooter, came from behind and caused Mr Ng to move backwards into his path.

Tan swerved his e-scooter to avoid hitting Mr Ng, but fell and suffered abrasions on his leg.

When he saw that the strap of his e-scooter was damaged, he demanded that Mr Ng compensate him, but the latter walked away.

Tan punched his head, causing him to fall on the ground. He then pinned down the victim using his knee and continued to punch him and demand compensation. Mr Ng tried to escape but was punched several times on the head.

Two passers-by intervened when they saw Mr Ng bleeding in the nose and mouth but Tan continued with his assault.

Mr Ng eventually apologised and said he would pay for the damaged e-scooter. Tan remained at the scene till the police arrived.

A CT scan showed that Mr Ng had fractures on his nose and right eye socket. He had a mildly displaced right nasal bone and nasal septal fracture which did not result in any deformity. His total medical bill was at least $505. Tan had made partial restitution of $250 to him.

Tan's lawyer said that his client had been receiving counselling for anger management issues, and wants to move on with his life.

District Judge Olivia Low allowed Tan to start his sentence on Jan 3. He could have been jailed for up to two years and/or fined up to $5,000 for causing hurt.

This is ridiculous!!! A individual assaults someone and the medical bill is more than $500 but the accused reimburse $250?!?! Singapore law is the best. No wonder in USA people carry guns because such people deserves to be shot in the head!!!

The Singapore Government must ban all e-bikes or e-scooters from the pavement!!! If any ministers family members got involved in such accidents will they keep quiet?!?!

if one minister kana bang by e-scooter, next day all the people who are in e-scooter business can prepare to close shop.
