Angmoh FT now say parking in Singapore should be as high as Tokyo and Hong Kong

dun give the money greedy pap ideas
they might just increase COE price and parking price together.

Exactly.
In fact, many HDB dwellers were asking in the past about HDB parking fee structure.
Why can't they park their cars at any of the HDB car parks?
Why does HDB allow free parking for certain members? Etc.
So many carrots in Sinkie land, but to get those you must be a member and yesman.

Let's sump up total estimated cost of car ownership in Singapore in 1st 10 years...

Start with <1600 cc car: -

1) COE - $80,000 for 10 yrs ---> $668 per month
2) OMV, ARF etc. - $50,000 for 10 yrs ---> $415 per month
3) Parking fees at home and office CBD area ---> $70+$280 per month
4) Road tax - $720 yearly ---> $60 per month
5) Vehicle inspection fees at interval of 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th yr - total $400, monthly spread out at $3.50

Then, the total cost could be $1,396 per month over the car ownership for 10 years.
It does not include ERP cost, various costs depending on car usage and repair.

After 10 yrs ownership, you get back at about $10,000 ---> monthly $95.

Good calculation.
Parking amount only small $ compare to car ownership.
Where in HK/Japan parking is more expensive than car.

This suggestion will not be taken up by the MIWs. How much this guy earns per month?
Our million dollar Ministars will not take up idea from someone earning lesser than them.

the main problem is not only parking. taxis will not spend $3 to go into cbd to search for customers. the stupidity of coe and epr on public transprt is beyond words

Ah Sam, you tell that gwai lo might as well invade Matland for more space or ban cars in Singapore. KNN

That Ang Moh is absolutely right. There certainly are a high number of smart Ang Mohs in Singapore. I guess they're needed to generate jobs and keep the economy buoyant.

too late. it's already in the plan. pappies will not allow such ideas to squeak thru' without already factoring in their long term strategies. higher farking fees are certainties. it's a matter of when.
