Passengers spotted standing on back of car along CTE

On Sunday (14 July), the Singapore Roads Accident Facebook page shared footage of an incident involving two passengers along the Central Expressway (CTE).

The video showed the passengers standing at the back of a Suzuki open-rear car as the vehicle rode along the expressway.

Netizens have joked about the incident, with some suggesting that the passengers may be rehearsing to be the president’s stand-in for the National Day Parade (NDP).

It is unclear why the passengers did not choose to sit in the vehicle’s back seat.

After watching the video, netizens joked that the passengers were practising to be the president’s stand-in for this year’s NDP.
