8:41 mins
Synopsis: This is a special episode of The Straits Times' video series The Big Story.
Motorists welcome the additional features of the next-generation Electronic Road Pricing system, but feel its three-piece onboard unit is clunky, inelegant and takes up too much space.

The Big Story Ep 34: Maid acquitted of stealing from ex-Changi Airport Group chief – what damages can she seek?
6:50 mins
Synopsis: This is a special episode of The Straits Times' video series The Big Story.
Both the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the police are looking into the case of a former domestic worker acquitted of stealing from Changi Airport Group chairman Liew Mun Leong and his family. Liew, 74, stepped down from his post after an announcement in a statement on Sept 10, to bring forward his retirement from the role.
In a statement on Sunday (Sept 6), MOM said that it is in consultation with the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) as to whether further action, if any, ought to be taken following comments by the judge, Justice Chan Seng Onn.
The AGC said earlier on Sunday that it would be studying Justice Chan's judgment.
The Straits Times' law correspondent Selina Lum breaks down the case with The Big Story hosts Hairianto Diman and Olivia Quay.
