Regardless, even one foreigner driving an SG registered car is one car too many here, they must pay more for using the precious resource to keep in line with the principle of the VEP.

My point was never xenophobic, they are welcome to be Singapore citizens any day to enjoy the benefits.
Ok, i think 'racist' is the more appropriate description but let me get this straight to be sure: You are basically saying that only citizens should be allowed to drive a car in Singapore?

Foreigners and PRs can drive,,but they have to pay more for the COE. maybe a 50K extra..that will bring down the price of COEs for locals,,,

Citizenship has it's benefits and with Singapore's open door policy to immigration what's there to stop anyone being a citizen.
And how will that improve the situation at the checkpoints and roads in SG ? Not at all...objective failed!

At best, less foreigners will buy SG registered cars, at worst the extra money collected from the premium COEs will fund road widening projects. Objective achieved.
I can't follow your logic. If COE's for locals will get cheaper more locals will buy cars and widening roads is certainly no solution. How much wider can they get in crowded SG anyway...plus, funding has never been an issue here. Are you actually living in Singapore??

That's not racism ...it is nationalism. Is nationalism the goal of every country?
Interesting topic, make a seperate thread on it.
Foreigners inflate the cost of housing, raise the price of CEO ...the extra they pay for education is pittance. We have too many foreigners here ...shedding 2 million of them will benefit the country.
I have yet to see something that actually puts a number to your claim of inflation by caused foreigners. Preferably something that is based on sound statistics.
You know sentiment and fact are 2 different things right?

Foreigners don't have a right to come to sinkapore. You want to see xenophobia, go back to Germany; that's where your Neo-Nazi countrymen beat up immigrants.
What's wrong with the government raking in more from foreigners?
I am sickened by foreigners who think they are entitled to be treated by gods in sinkapore.
When did I ever say cheaper for citizens? Just more expensive for foreigners. Speaking of which, have you seen the upsizing of the PIE? Good job!
This is not a competition between countries. If you have problems with SG's immigration policy take it up with your government and leave me out of it. According to them i have every right to be here, like it or not. I demand nothing more and nothing less.
The neo-nazis are a minority in Germany, same as you and your fellow xenophobics are a minority in SG.

You need to think a bit more long term.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that an increase in population fuelled by foreigners would increase the prices of houses and cars, the statistics for the increase in the number of foreigners here have been posted ad nauseam, don't ask for stupid facts.
You expect a government that wants to increase foreigner population by more than a million to publish data that hurt their policy? This isn't a democracy, if you are not aware of it. You only get statistics that the government wants you to see.
It is not perception ....it is correlation. Property prices didn't just go up out of the blue. Rental rates for properties didn't just go up because sinkees decided that they choose to rent. Population of cars in sinkapore rose with the influx of foreigners. Only a fool will ignore the conclusions from the correlation.

Meaning, we should start increasing COE for foreigners now. It cannot wait till things get worse.
