Despite a case of a child's death arising from a lack of safety belt, LTA is still insisting that more time to study the issue is necessary.And what makes it even more irresponsible, is that our well-paid and highly efficient has been studying the same matter since 2006.Is the issue of child safety aboard school buses so complex that our government scholars got stumped?Why then the delay?Why is the matter so difficult?If this is such a complex matter, i wonder how long they took to mull over the even more surprising ruling that taxis should not stop in places other than taxi stands within the CBD.Until the laws are passed, i would like to see the senior echelons of the LTA put their children in school buses without safety belts, instead of chauffeuring them to schools in their BMWs.From Straits Times: May 11, 2008 Seat-belt rule for school buses will take time By Nur Dianah Suhaimi & Tan Dawn Wei MPs may be clamouring for seat belts to be installed in school buses, but this won't be happening any time soon, say the various parties involved. The Land Transport Authority (LTA), which has been studying the issue since 2006, told The Sunday Times that it needs three to six months to consult safety experts and carry out studies before passing a new regulation on seat belts on buses.
