Law passed to protect critical transport firms from 'malicious actors', other disruptions

Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat has assured that the continuity and competitiveness of Singapore's transport industry will not be affected by a bill passed in Parliament. The Transport Sector (Critical Firms) Bill will put in additional controls on critical land, air and sea transport firms, so that they can continue providing essential services at all times. Some MPs were concerned about who would take over the provision of transport services, if a key entity were to cease operations. The initial list of entities will be designated by the end of this year. Sabrina Ng reports.
