We joined forces with National Environment Agency (NEA) and Singapore Police Force in a joint operation earlier today to enforce against foreign – registered vehicles which do not comply with our regulations.
On LTA’s part, we checked whether licence plates are properly displayed and Vehicle Entry Permits remain valid. Among those checked, 8 motorists were caught for the improper display of licence plates.
Vehicle licence plates must be prominently displayed at the front and back of all vehicles in the stipulated format.
