A Gif Tribute To The Demise of Sinkie PMDs :P

Ultra low SES peasants should be banned from breeding altogether; they are a fucking burden to society.

From the few riders I talked to, it seems a good portion of them, unfortunately, exist in the low-income bracket.

One 29-year-old rider explained how her mother had cancer, and they were living in a rental flat in Ang Mo Kio.

Working as a food delivery rider afforded her the most flexibility, as she still had to care for her ailing mother.

Additionally, she claimed that this job was much more lucrative than working as a cleaner or service staff—she could earn as much as S$4,000 a month from food deliveries on her PMD.

Another rider chimed in to ask how those with little educational qualifications would be able to find equivalent jobs after the ban.

“Honestly speaking, I only have a PSLE [certificate], who’s going to hire me? I’ve tried to find over 50 jobs, everyone tells me to go home and wait for their phone call, but nobody calls back.”

“Have you ever experienced this kind of despair?” he questioned.

One man wearing a Deliveroo uniform even shared with us that he had five children to feed at home, with his wife having just given birth.

Their stories provided some form of much needed empathy from fellow Singaporeans towards those living in, or on the cusp of poverty.

For someone who admittedly comes from a slightly privileged background, it was disheartening to learn first-hand about how disproportionately the PMD footpath ban had affected them.

Food Delivery Riders Gather Around Minister K Shanmugam During 5 Nov Meet-The-People Session

Update (6 Nov): Mr Shanmugam posted an update about the Meet-the-People (MTP) session on his Facebook page on Wednesday (6 Nov) evening.

According to the post, around 30 PMD riders saw Mr Shanmugam during the MTP session.

As it was held outdoors, the Law Minister told the group to gather around to “hear each other better”.

Mr Shanmugam described the meeting as “civil” and added that he will help “convey their views to MOT, and to Cabinet”.

The partial PMD ban tabled in Parliament on Monday (4 Nov) left many Singaporeans concerned, especially food delivery riders whose livelihoods may be affected.

On Tuesday (5 Nov) evening, pictures surfaced on Facebook, showing Minister K Shanmugam – who’s a Nee Soon GRC MP – surrounded by food delivery riders during a Meet-The-People (MTP) session.

The MTP session took place at an open-space area near Block 107, Yishun Ring Road.

A large group of individuals can be seen crowding around the Law Minister. Some of them appeared to be food delivery riders, based on their shirts printed with food delivery companies’ logos.

Will majority of affected PMD riders vote for the oppies in the next GE?

Over 1 in 3 GrabFood riders affected by PMD ban on footpaths

With the recent announcement that e-scooters will be banned from all footpaths starting Nov. 5, 2019, delivery riders who depend on the device are finding it a blow to their livelihood.

1 in 3 GrabFood delivery-partners depend on e-scooters

In response to Mothership’s queries, a Grab spokesperson said that Grab respects the decision by the Government to ban e-scooters on all footpaths due to safety.

The spokesperson also revealed that “With the new direction, affected partners will have to consider other modes of transport, which may not be readily available to them,” said the spokesperson.

The spokesperson also said that Grab plans to engage the Government on possible a possible arrangement for delivery-partners who ride responsibly:

“Grab plans to engage the Government in further dialogue on the possibility of allowing delivery-partners who have displayed responsible riding behaviours the option to continue using e-Scooters under certain conditions for delivery.”

They added that GrabFood is committed to helping all affected partners and will be reaching out to them by the end of the week.

Grab also asked for understanding on the part of consumers:

“During this period, we would like to seek consumers’ understanding that they may have to wait longer for their orders or may experience an increase in cancellations by delivery-partners who may not be able to cover the delivery distance on foot.”

Deliveroo promises not to work with riders who flout the law

Meanwhile, Deliveroo has made a public stand against riders who flout the rules.

In response to CNA’s queries, Deliveroo said:

“We sent out communications to all riders today to inform them of the new regulation. Should any rider be found using an e-scooter on footpaths after Nov 5, we will stop working with them.”

According to CNA, Deliveroo had stopped taking in PMD delivery riders since May 2019.

Deliveroo also told CNA that it expects the ban to have minimal impact on its operations.

This echoes what Senior Minister of State Lam Pin Min said in Parliament, that less than 30 per cent of Deliveroo and FoodPanda riders use e-scooters.

Well done PAP, gotta give them credit when it's due.

However this comes so rather suddenly, wouldn't GrabFood, Food Panda and Deliveroo riders who perform their daily deliveries on PMDs be severely affected?

Good to see 'em PMD pest riders getting fucked in the ass real bad, now I can surely have a wonderful night's rest.

Ain't time to rejoice yet, it remains to be seen whether the monkeys in white are actually capable of enforcing this piece of legislation.

FINALLY!!!!!!! LAM PAR MIN HAS DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION!
