  Have anyone asked SG traffic police this question?
  
  Seat belt is compulsory (save life) and we will get hefty fine if we dont wear them. What about those Bangla/Chinese workers who sit behind the lorry trailer, don't we value their lives too?
  
  
  
  Fourteen people were injured when their lorry overturned after colliding with a car along the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) on Thursday.
  
  The Singapore Civil Defence Force said the accident happened at 8.16am in the direction towards Changi near Bedok Reservoir View.
  
  No one was trapped in the vehicle.
  
  The injured were sent to Changi General Hospital.

  Yes and who will absorb the cost of arranging transportation, such as the indenting of commercial buses? The company? Cut the workers' pay? NO, the cost will go to YOU, YOU, YOU AND YOU, MR. CONSUMER, who will have to pay more to get that HDB flat you've been wanting to get, which means you will have less money to spend on.

  it's like asking LTA/ROV why they allow china-made cars in SG when it's a no-brainer just how lacking in safety features they are.
