SINGAPORE: Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew said authorities have stringent process in place to prevent abuse to the additional engine power criteria added to the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) system.

He said the Land Transport Authority will check models before they are registered to ensure a vehicle's horsepower is not tuned down so that it can be registered under the small cars COE category.

Mr Lui made these comments on Friday on the sidelines of a Transport Ministry event marking the fundraising of S$1 million in aid of the Community Chest.

He said price fluctuations are expected before and following the implementation of any COE changes. He added a few bidding exercises are needed before an equilibrium is reached.

Mr Lui advised car-buyers to watch these fluctuations before deciding if they should get a car.

Kopisai, I have the impression you're the pest that tears down the pedestrian pavement with your 自行车, with no regards to the rightful users.

In anycase, fuck yew already hinted that cars are for the rich and their porlumpar.

Like all things, this will come back to haunt him and his short sightedness.

The reaction will be priceless.

I still drive. But will have to give up soon. I use the public transport and I don't own any bicycle. I use my two legs very often. Many FTs have collided with me along the pedestrain pavements and walkways. They are a nuisance.They have also caused many accidents.They have no rules. The TP should be more strict with them.

All are cheap except COE.
Should increase car park fee and road tax.

But it is by virtue of its artificially inflated price, a status symbol, which helps you land that mistress.

It also facilitates car sex. Don't believe go ask Peter Lim Sin Pang.

No amount of COE and ERP tweaking will solve the problem: overpopulation.

The number of vehicles increase in tandem with the population.

Go on, keep building more condos and JEM malls, import more FTs and fulfill your Population White Paper wet dream. :rolleyes:

This is the quality of PAP candidates for election, army boys to run the country.

Instead of fixing the problems add more problems and pass the problems to the people. Dare not even scrap the COE, another failed PAP policy.

Should deal with car parks but not the cars. Can you tweak car parks? But you can tweak the car engine? Supposed they dare not bring this up to the Leegime and who came up with this idiot policy to tax more money, old fart again? One man's view of his Singapore?

VTO PAP 2016.
