In a society like #Singapore that's arguably skewed to #TypeX people, surely more punitive & #deterrent measures are necessary to deal with callous repeat offenders?🤔 #SaveLives #kopi

Repeat #offenders, #drink #driving #speedsters among 20 motorists to be charged
"In the case of a second or subsequent conviction for drink driving, #motorists may be fined up to $20,000 & #jailed for up to two years. They may also face disqualification from driving all classes of vehicles"

#STForum: #Jailterm necessary as #deterrence matters in #careless #driving cases @straits_times
🧐"The consequences of an honest mistake can range fr financial loss to lives being upended.. When #death occurs, we need to just think of those left behind: someone losing a son, a father, a sibling, a close friend or a #breadwinner.. People r often guided by te severity of consequences attached to their actions. A #jail term can serve as a powerful #deterrent"

Finally listened The Wargame podcast. Very much recommended for MÖPs and #defence nerds. ESPECIALLY important for discussions about independent #NB8 #nuclear #deterrent & #strategy. Just listen to how much real, veteran British politicians rely on it! podcasts.musixmatch.com/podcast/the-...

#Deterrent signal needed to ensure trust in #healthcare
" #doctors possess significantly more #medical knowledge than their #patients. This #imbalance creates opportunities for potential #dishonesty.. Revoking a doctor’s ability to make #insurance & #MediSave claims for six months may be insufficient to deter such #offences.. In contrast, #fraudulent claims made against SkillsFuture were met with more severe consequences" #Singapore #governance #ethics
