Hey Singapore! How are you? What’s it like over the Causeway today, with your efficient public transportation system and greenery amongst concrete? Probably nice, right? As nice as it can get while still only having access to second-rate nasi lemak.
Anywhoo, just your fun cousin over here, Malaysia. You know, the one you’re kind of embarrassed about, but then also gave you your first joint and explained who Tupac was to you? What’s good!
By the way, I’m not sure if you got the memo, but out of the 81,708 traffic summonses that we’ve issued to foreigners since 2014, 50,616 belong to Singaporeans. Out of those, more than half as still pending payment.
We were just wondering when you might get the chance to settle them? No rush – but I know how kiasu you are with things, so you might appreciate the friendly reminder.
At a press conference regarding the recent operations implemented to facilitate payment of fines by foreign drivers, police have added that most of these fines are issued over speed infractions when driving through our country’s roads in search of superior food, wilder nights out, cheaper hookers, and a favorable exchange rate.
However, they did say that most recently, with the implementation of online payment, and over 900 kiosks in Singapore alone to pay fines, police were seeing a shift in attitude, and that more drivers were paying their fines.
Great, news. We’re happy that while you more than understand and comply with the laws back home in Singapore, you are slowly coming to grips with the fact that we also have rules here too. Thanks for respecting them, and we’ll see you at the next family reunion (32nd ASEAN Summit).
