The COE premiums for commercial vehicles rose to $72,190 (up by $2,189) from the previous $70,001. The cost of doing business shoots up once again, which will be passed onto consumers, whether they own a car or not. The rising cost of living in S'pore is of the PAP's own making.

In order to attract new subscribers to sign on, SingTel dangles carrots in front of them, which are not offered to existing customers. The PAP runs S'pore exactly like a commercial entity. S'poreans who are born here must make way for the foreigners whom the govt wishes to fast track to SG citizenship.

Less than 10% of the residents in S'pore are able to afford a car. Those marginal car owners are now driving the last car they will ever own in SG. The aspirations of our young have been firmly dashed unless they have wealthy parents. We have approached the day when only the wealthy will own cars. Those who cannot do w/o a car, but are unable to afford one, will have to consider leasing a PHV.
