The Land Transport Authority will harness the satellite-backed Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) 2 system to track transport violations, including illegal cross-border passenger services and unlicensed vehicles. Concurrently, police investigators will leverage location histories under the Criminal Procedure Code starting in January 2027 to aid criminal inquiries. Safeguards require that identified transit records are erased once legal matters conclude, while new visual road markings and on-board unit displays will alert motorists to active charging zones before the system goes live in January next year.

The authorities have retrieved ERP data for enforcement against offences such as illegal cross-border taxi services and for detecting deregistered vehicles.
SINGAPORE: The authorities can retrieve location data from sensors and systems through the new Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) 2 for law enforcement, Senior Minister of State for Transport Sun Xueling said in parliament on Tuesday (Nov 3).
As with the existing ERP system, ERP 2 is designed primarily for road pricing purposes, but supports other motoring-related functions, including the enforcement of laws and regulations, said Ms Sun.
She added that data collected on individual vehicles is aggregated and anonymised when transferred to LTA's backend system for traffic planning and management.
“However, when specific vehicles need to be identified for enforcement purposes, LTA is able to retrieve location data from sensors and systems,” she said, adding that LTA has done so for enforcement against serious offences, such as illegal cross-border taxi services and for detecting deregistered vehicles.

Singapore's three public healthcare clusters were forced onto manual workarounds after an incomplete vendor update disabled domain name services across both primary and backup systems. The preventable lapse disrupted appointments, billing, and pharmacy operations nationwide, though essential clinical care continued without data breaches or patient safety incidents. Authorities are now overhauling infrastructure dependencies and oversight mechanisms to prevent similar single-point network failures.
Unauthorized access to internal systems resulted in the copying of user records across Singapore and Hong Kong after being detected on October 29. The incident exposed contact details and sensitive reward claim information for individuals using the platform to compare or apply for financial products. Company operations remain normal while regulators, including the Personal Data Protection Commission, have been notified and external cybersecurity investigators examine the scope.
Cyber attackers penetrated the personal finance portal's internal systems on Oct. 29, copying sensitive records submitted by customers seeking credit cards, loans, and insurance products. The incident exposed identifying credentials and financial profiles across two major Asian markets, prompting corporate outreach and regulatory notifications. The platform has contained the intrusion while forensic investigators assess the full scope of the compromise.
