But perhaps there is nothing rational in it as with many things related to Singapore cars and taxi drivers.
And I call 'em out on it when it goes beyond the point of fairness.

Re: Uber
I doubt that. It's just a symbolic crack down to keep people happy. They have a big office here; if government wanted them gone they could just raid the office.
It's like Orchard Towers. Sure ICA blocks random girls coming into the country here or there, but show up and Ipanema and it is still packed to the gils with working girls. If they *Wanted* to stop it,it would be as easy as just shutting down the bars.

I suspect LTA is ensuring that something like the days of pirate taxis don't return, i.e. foreigners taking up taxi driving ..

No, i meant as an example of half-assed enforcement.

Where can I read the minutes of the debate, or do they all read "I agree; yes I agree too, yeah me too"?Amid the concerns raised by some Members of Parliament (MPs) last week

Bgd, nearing any large event ICA tries to stem the inflow (and innocents too get refused entry, in the melee...)
Sea games are around the corner, FYI
Maybe that's the reason for stepped up enforcement
As for the intention of the girls, when they arrive, ICA or any immigration can get hoodwinked easily
Like how a friend gave a passionate speech when the US embassy doubted her, for for a temporary stay in USA, and she got her visa and as soon as she landed she found a fiance' ...
