Users of PMDs, bikes and PABs who ride at HDB void decks in 15 estates may be fined up to $5,000

However, these users will be given be a two-month grace period - starting from Sunday when the ban kicked in till 31 October - to allow them sufficient time to adapt to the new regulation, said the 15 People’s Action Party town councils in a joint statement on Monday .

During the two-month grace period, offenders will be issued a warning letter for the first offence. After 31 October, the town councils said they will take strict enforcement action according to the revised regulations. “We urge all PMD users, cyclists, and residents to keep a close community watch, promote a gracious and safe environment for all, and join in our efforts to keep our towns a safer living environment for all,” he said.

Task force to tackle non UL2272-certified PMDsSeparately, a new task force, comprising the Land Transport Authority , Singapore Civil Defence Force , Enterprise Singapore and Housing Development Board, has been set up to share resources and expertise with each other to minimise fire risks from non UL2272-certified PMDs, according to a Facebook post by the LTA on Sunday.

In Parliament last month, Senior Minister of State for Transport Lam Pin Min announced that the deadline for PMDs owners to have their devices meet fire safety standards will be brought forward by six months to 1 July next year.
