My fine of $120 from Traffic Police failed miserably. Just as I was talking and happy about the government giving $100 bonus of GST Credits for NSF yesterday, the government “took back” it faster than I thought and I still owe them $20.

Here is their reply to my appeal:

The content of your letter has been noted. We have reviewed your case and note that there is an offence disclosed. Traffic Police takes a serious view of such offence. As such, we regret to inform you that the charge preferred against you stands.

We would like to urge you to make a conscious effort to comply with all the traffic rules and regulations which are made for your own safety and that of other road users.

How sad I am. All along, I have a clean driving records and they didn’t even bother to waive a bit. I am not asking to waive off totally, but at the very least, they should be flexible and waive off a bit since this is my first, or should I said maiden/virgin, offence.

This is Singapore. Such a “Fine” country.
