First thing first: fuck reckless and dangerous driving.
But yikes, once the authorities take one step in, they will never take a step back.
Also it's Singapore, a city that make it extremely expensive to own a car, essentially lock the option out for anyone who can't pay sgd100k± for the certificate. And car is also extremely expensive to buy.
But despite that, one doesn't need to own a car to travel around Singapore, it's a very walkable city despite the weather.
They also have great public transport. The MRT is excellent.
Singapore is influenced by China and we all know how bad the Chinese police are.
More like influenced by British police, since it's an ex colony.
Not as much these days. It seems like a increasing number of Singaporeans are favoring China.
