Oral Answer by Ministry of National Development on ensuring foreign-registered cars pay outstanding HDB and URA parking fines

Feb 3, 2020

Mr Yee Chia Hsing: To ask the Minister for National Development whether there are measures to ensure that foreign-registered cars pay their outstanding HDB and URA parking fines before entry into, or exit out of, Singapore.

Answer:

When foreign-registered vehicles with outstanding fines are spotted at HDB and URA car parks, HDB and URA will clamp or tow away these vehicles so that their owners will step forward to settle the outstanding fines.

With effect from 1 April 2019, foreign-registered vehicles with a number of outstanding fines for traffic, parking, or vehicular emissions offences may be denied entry into Singapore. As of 26 January 2020, 535 foreign-registered vehicles had been turned away at our checkpoints for failing to settle their outstanding fines before entering Singapore.
