I refer to the article “ Illegal plate-flipping devices sold online in Malaysia, aid rogue motorists in evading law
Given that thousands of Malaysian vehicles enter Singapore daily, it is obvious that there is a serious risk that drivers of vehicles fitted with these illegal devices will also use them to evade detection and enforcement for traffic offences – even crimes – committed in Singapore.
I suggest that Singapore’s checkpoint personnel be trained to spot such illegally modified plates, and that offending vehicles be impounded immediately before they enter our roads.
If Singapore-registered vehicles are found with such devices, they should likewise be impounded and their owners prosecuted.
I hope the Land Transport Authority and Traffic Police will implement measures to address this imminent risk.
