Over time, the rules have grown, and sometimes overgrown, says Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

A dragon made up of drones lights up Singapore's Marina Bay. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong gave an example of how a drone show using 1,000 drones used to require about S$25,000 in compliance costs, but now this has been "streamlined" to just S$500. SINGAPORE: Previously, to put up a drone show in Singapore, organisers had to get a permit, register every single drone and put a sticker on each drone.

While there are valid reasons to register drones - such as for aviation security and safety - the risks are more manageable for shows held within a pre-approved area. Noting that more can be done in this area, Mr Wong said he has appointed Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong to oversee a “thorough and proactive review of our rules and processes, and prune them back where possible”.Maximum fines for workplace safety breaches will more than double to S$50,000 from Jun 1Another example Mr Wong shared was from earlier this year, when he received feedback from a company that wanted to convert their factory into a dormitory for their workers.
