On the blog, SpotlightOnSingapore,
the writer of the blog complained about the LTA (Land Transport Authority)
being high-handed for issuing fine to vehicle that are illegally parked. The
writer complained about CISCO officers who go into quiet private estate at
night and into backlanes to look for these illegally parked vehicles.
I fail to see what the big deal is.
My position on LTA and CISCO issuing fines to these vehicles
is totally different from the writer of Spotlight. I think there's nothing
wrong with LTA or CISCO fining illegally parked vehicles; I am all for it. In
fact, I don’t think they done enough!
I feel that a $70 or $120 fine for a vehicle that’s could
cost up to $100,000 for the owner is nothing. If you are illegally park and can
get away with it, great for you. But if you got fined, you pay the fine. That
should be simple to understand right? What’s there to complain about? I don’t
think any driver in Singapore
can say they “don’t know” they cannot park or stop at roads with parking
restriction lines.
However, the fine amount is so small I question who much the
fine truly hurt the owners. I hope LTA revised their fines amount and make it
costly for owners who park their vehicles illegally.

wow. never thought i see a dissing to an article on law enforcement rant
Are you having a fever or what writing this article?
When the fines are increased, they are set in stone. Be careful what you wish for.
You guys don't live or work in areas where there's bumper to bumper illegal parking. Frankly, I'm okay with it but I hate it when people who do it whine about getting fines for it. If you want to illegal park, don't whine and bitch when you get caught. Pay the bloody fine.
