Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 4: Jean See on enhancing safety of occupational drivers

Occupational drivers such as those driving heavy vehicles, taxis, private-hire and delivery vehicles could be motivated by incentives or penalties to drive long hours without breaks. Thus, employers of platform operators must ensure that such incentive and penalty systems do not increase driver fatigue and compromise vehicular safety. How is the Ministry of Transport working with stakeholders to reinforce shared responsibility for the safety of occupational drivers? NMP Jean See raised this issue in parliament on Wednesday (Mar 5).
