SINGAPORE: A sharp rise in traffic violations and a ransomware attack on one of the Traffic Police’s external vendors mean motorists may wait about a month, rather than the usual two weeks, before the vehicle owner receives the initial notice in a speeding case, said Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam.
In a written reply on Thursday (Nov 6) to a parliamentary question by MP Gerald Giam (WP-Aljunied), Mr Shanmugam said the traffic police typically take about two weeks to issue a Notice to Furnish Driver’s Particulars to the registered vehicle owner, after the officers have verified the offence and the vehicle number captured by the speed camera.
