Unsafe driving on Singapore roads on the rise: Shanmugam

Law and Foreign Affairs Minister K Shanmugam cited three incidents of unsafe driving on his Facebook page on Monday.

Here’s what he said:

I have been noticing that there is increased amount of unsafe driving on our roads.Today, my wife was driving and I was in the passenger seat. During the 2 way trip, there were 3 incidents.

First, as our lane was blocked for work, my wife tried to pull into the next lane, after indicating. A van which was well behind then deliberately moved much much faster, and to make sure we couldnt pull into the lane.

Second I saw a SUV zip in and out, almost causing an accident - without bothering to indicate.

Third, a lorry simply came into our lane, without indication and without giving enough allowance - almost an accident. The driver simply didnt care because of the lorry's size. I wonder if it is the case that we are simply noticing this more, or if indeed our driving habits have become worse.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
