Multiple unlicensed electric tricycles have appeared around Chua Chu Kang Cemetery, prompting swift enforcement action from authorities. These vehicles, commonly known as “san beng zi” in Chinese, were operating illegally on Singapore roads.
The Land Transport Authority has conducted a comprehensive crackdown, seizing nine unauthorized vehicles and investigating a retailer suspected of illegal sales.

Initial Discovery and LTA Response
Lianhe Zaobao reported on 20 May 2025 that several cargo-carrying electric tricycles had been spotted along Old Chua Chu Kang Road, where the cemetery is located. The vehicles bore Chinese brand names and displayed no license plates, indicating illegal road use.
LTA confirmed these vehicles lacked authorization for public road operation and immediately impounded them for investigation.
Their enforcement officers seized nine unregistered vehicles during operations along Old Chua Chu Kang Road. Subsequent investigations led authorities to identify a retailer connected to the illegal vehicle distribution.
At the retailer’s location, officers discovered five non-compliant Active Mobility Devices (AMDs) and one additional unregistered vehicle. The operation revealed eight total violations, including the display of non-compliant Power Assisted Bicycles (PABs) and Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs), as well as failure to post required warning notices.
Under the Active Mobility Act, individuals selling non-compliant mobility devices face maximum penalties of $20,000 fines, 24 months imprisonment, or both. Business operators face higher penalties, with fines reaching up to $40,000.
Possession or use of unregistered vehicles carries penalties of up to $2,000 fines, three months imprisonment, or both sanctions combined.
