Letter from Olivia Khong
SO MUCH has been said about the safety of children in school buses, but no one has ever raised the issue of underage motorcycle pillion riders.
For years, I have witnessed young kids being ferried to and fro on motorcycles, wearing oversized helmets and clinging on for dear life.
My child’s classmate at his childcare centre has been a pillion rider on his father’s motorbike since he was three years old! Teachers have cautioned the parent against this, but to no avail.
So, to guilty dads out there: How much do you value your child’s life?
