Let us stop the double standards!  Where seatbelts are compulsory for car passengers in Singapore, we should not turn a blind eye and allow migrant workers to be transported at the back of lorries and trucks, exposed to rain and the elements, and unsecured and without the benefits of seat belts. It has been proven that seat belts save lives. Are their lives not worth saving?

This is an appeal to LTA to review outdated practices, and make it mandatory for employers to transport workers by safe and humane standards, such as

• hiring vans, buses or even using old SBS buses
• installing collapsible seats with seat belts like in SUVs

Let's help to make a difference and bring safety and dignity to the less privileged.
