The e-scooter ban on footpaths is "only right", said the brother of a female cyclist who died in a recent accident involving one such device in Bedok.
Speaking in Mandarin with The Straits Times yesterday, Mr Andy Ong, 53, said he was in favour of the ban, which was announced in Parliament earlier in the day by Senior Minister of State for Transport Lam Pin Min.
