SINGAPORE – Police have arrested a Land Transport Authority (LTA) enforcement officer who was caught on camera fighting with an Uber driver.

Responding to media queries, police said they arrested a 50-year-old man for affray, while a 59-year-old man is assisting police investigations.

The Uber driver, Mr Goh Kok Ling, 59, told The Straits Times on Saturday morning that he had lodged a police report on Friday night, shortly after the brawl with the LTA officer.

Recounting Friday’s incident which took place at about 7pm, Uber driver Mr Goh said Ms Pek was already at the taxi stand waiting to get in the car when he arrived. He had intended to pick her up and drive off immediately, and there were no other cabs waiting there at that time, he said.
But the LTA officer insisted that Mr Goh was not supposed to stop his car at the taxi stand.

“The officer said he would give me a chance, but he started taking pictures of my car. His tone was also very rude,” said Mr Goh in Mandarin, adding that that was when he got off his car.

“I’m a driver. If a traffic officer says he wants to give me a summon, of course I would be scared. We only make a small amount from each trip,” he said.

Parking a vehicle at a taxi stand is an illegal offence that carries a fine ranging from $50 to $120, depending on the vehicle type. Parking is legally defined as a vehicle stopping to wait for any other purpose other than an immediate drop-off or pick-up
