The police stressed that all vehicles entering Singapore, including foreign-registered ones, must comply with the country’s traffic laws as well as safety and emission requirements.

“The licence plates on these vehicles must conform to the mandated specifications and be properly displayed,” the police said.

“Motorists who are found to be non-compliant may face penalties and foreign-registered vehicles may be denied entry into Singapore at the land checkpoints.”

Anyone found guilty of driving without a valid licence faces a maximum fine of S$10,000 (US$7,000), up to three years in jail, or both. The vehicle may also be forfeited.  

Those who drive or ride without proper insurance coverage face a fine of up to S$1,000, a jail term of up to three months, or both. 

The offence of using a motor vehicle with vehicular smoke or excessive noise emission carries a fine of up to S$2,000 for the first conviction and up to S$5,000 for subsequent convictions. 

Those found not to have displayed proper licence plates face a fine of up to S$1,000, a jail term of up to three months, or both. Repeat offenders face harsher penalties.
