As part of the National Environment Agency's (NEA) ongoing efforts to raise awareness and promote compliance with anti-idling engine regulations, the agency conducted a three-hour enforcement exercise at a car park at Ang Mo Kio Street 53 on Wednesday (Nov 19).

During the exercise, enforcement officers issued warning letters to 14 motorists for leaving their vehicle engines idling while stationary. 

They also distributed educational pamphlets and anti-idling car decals to 236 motorists.

NEA urges motorists to turn off their engines after parking their vehicles so as to achieve better air quality and safeguard public health. 

Members of the public who spot idling vehicles on the road are encouraged to report them to NEA, providing details such as vehicle registration number, location and time of incident. 

Errant motorists may be fined up to a maximum of S$5,000.
