LTA Addresses Bus Driver’s Threatening Behavior Amid Police Investigation in Singapore

Bus Driver Turns Road Rule Into Personal Drama

What Went Down

• On January 14, a bus driver found himself facing a double yellow zig‑zag line on Marina View Link.
• Instead of calmly pulling over, he decided the scene was “showtime.”
• His angry outburst was caught by a passing LTA officer and recorded on a phone.
• He shouted vulgarities in Malay, threatened a punch, and insisted the officer “go away.”

Why the Video Matters

• The clip was shared by Facebook user Abdul Aleem Mohamed Saffrollahkhan on January 19.
• “It’s like a sitcom, but the backdrop is a real street and the punchlines… well, those could be legal penalties.”

LTA and Police Response

• Stomp got the scoop—an LTA spokesman confirmed the officer was actually an outsourced parking warden.
• The incident has been turned over to the police, and an investigation is underway.
• The police spokesperson reassured the media that the case is in full swing.

Takeaway

• Keep calm when cars stop you—if not, you might end up in a courtroom instead of the next song.
• Remember, the road is for everyone. Show respect, or you might find yourself on the wrong end of a parking video.
