SINGAPORE: The owner of the “Polite Car” – which was easily mistaken for a police patrol vehicle from a distance – has removed most of the livery on it after being advised by the police to do so.

The police, in consultation with the Attorney-General’s Chambers, gave the 32-year-old man a stern warning on Tuesday (July 2) under the Police Force Act 2004.
