Foreign riders confronted on video for making illegal deliveries in S'pore: 'This mission cannot be stopped'

[nonameless]

Same as Ron 95, just pump only don't give face.

Cannot locate illegal riders one la

If I snap a picture of a Malaysian bike, the Malaysian rider took a grabfood order

If I report send the picture to MOM and ICA, how you expect the authorities to locate and catch him. He's on a bike, always mobile. You don't know what time he works etc

Obviously the proper better way is to station officers at malls, wait at areas where the riders park their bikes and catch them

There are just too many places, you want to activate thousands of officers everyday catch meh. I think got many better things to do.

Got better things to do

So can let this illegal matter fester for years and continue happen until today, ok

That's a better approach

Should go after the companies that hire them in the first place. Make sure the fines are high so that the companies won't be tempted to hire them.

 

[dambio]

This type even harder to catch

Because people will think

"Oh, this one Singapore-registered bike, surely is Singaporean or pr lah, no problem"

Actually illegal Malaysian

Alot hanky panky going on. Some is even helped by Singaporeans.

Yes

These Malaysians u know their pattern

They'll try all sorts of ways to circumvent the system to earn SGD

Oh well, sinkieland loves to give millions of them PRs and new-citizenships

Imagine druglord leverage on this illegal food delivery riders to help disperse drugs.

SG will become a drug heaven since they cannot be stopped

 

[buttbERry]

need more enforcement on these

Got laws and fines so what

They will still take the risk, worth it to them, otherwise why is it happening even until now

Got laws and fines so what, if

1) got loopholes to easily exploit

2) no system to detect all these hanky panky

3) authorities also dunno how to catch, must rely on members of public to report complaint

 

[fortunehunter]

First of all. Who can register for the food delivery sinkie or pr.
So catch the person who register?

"A question about illegal foreign delivery riders was raised in Parliament in November 2023.

The Manpower Minister said in a written answer: "The nature of food delivery work is decentralised and mobile. Hence, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) relies mainly on complaints to detect possible instances of foreigners working illegally as food delivery riders, in order to carry out enforcement actions.

"From 2018 till Oct 18, 2023, MOM received a total of 163 complaints on suspected illegal foreign delivery riders."

Kudos to Danny n friends.

So tis issue has been ard for yrs n even raised in parliament in 2023. Wat changed?

N dun say Singaporeans like to complain. Mom minister say they rely on complaints to take action. So no complaints they dun work

Full of excuse to escape responsibility

 

[dambio]

Either tis or it's our fault. Singaporeans worst fault is voting them in.

 

[buffybuffy]

Wonder who did Danny and friends voted for.

So your suggestion is to deploy ten of thousands of officers around the island everyday to catch ah. Then do the same for pmd? Never ending one. End of the day, everyone will exploit loopholes, just how much only.

That is your idea not mine, to deploy thousands of officers, don't put words in my mouth

That works still, but limited in its reach and efficacy

The most effective is the govt should work with platform operators and stakeholders; to come up with frameworks to stop all this nonsense

For example, now the delivery riders all need to contribute to medisave

Govt step in with the stakeholders, bo beh zao huan

It has always been like that. Last time no complain, no action. Now got complain/feedback and still need to post on social media before action taken.

 

[havoc23]

What's the point of a law if it's not enforced?

 

[batman_888]

again.... if they catch all this foreigner riders... who got the worse setback???

consumer?? the original rider account?? the foreigner rider??

or the food delivery companies....

this is why LTA wont ban PMD, PMA etc or pro active to catch them...
will result lesser profit for the companies... and the companies who invested in them... you know i know

Then if got taken action news must report like do report card liddat
