If there is only a single distributor, such moves are likely because the distributor stocked up enough COE from earlier bids or open-cat COEs.
However, BYD has a few dealers.
It appeared to be an coordinated action by BYD dealers to bring COE price down. Doing so, they can either price their year-end cars competitively or trick competitors to bring down their guaranteed-coe prices (and lose money when COE rebounds strongly)
If this hypothesis is true, then the latest guaranteed-coe car prices will not drop more $12,000 and $16,000 for CAT & B respectively.

These days, everything from food, movies, shopping, groceries, banking, work, teleconsultations with doctors and many forms of entertainment may be done online. We do not really need to leave home except for certain errands.Everyone can do their part by not going out that often, cooking and eating at home, and of course not patronising those malls
