it is basically say that taxis are making small cars more expensive and zheng hu does not give a good explanation of why it is doing like that. It is unfair to let us common people fight for COE with taxi companies, they have so much cash and they need to taxi to make a profit but some of us just need it for convenience or work in very far places. Public buses are exempted COE leh...arghhh...

[quote=\"KSP\"]the BIG Crash will come soon after all these madness, it happened in properties, stock and any commodities price.... just wait and see.....

:xedfingers: Hope you are right, I'm still waiting.[/quote

it's just a matter of timing, WHEN?[/quote]If everyone is waiting, will it CRASH ?
Cos once it drop a bit, say 5%, everyone will rush in liao. Then prices will go up again.
:sad:
I have been waiting for 5 yrs liao............ neck v long...

Why is COE so high? Is it because the gov’t has hidden agenda??

if you could wait for 5 years for the COE to drop, you probably don't to change / buy a new car


i could wait may be for 5 months :evil: :evil:

if one crash can't let u reach your goal then bargain hunt and profit take for a few cycles... every cycle of market crash or recession means a big change of wealth $$$$.....

the thing is can we live long enough to achieve our ever changing target??? :rotflmao: when we have an inch we want one foot....

I’m one of those affected by this high COE…need to change car cos of addition of 2 family members …new baby+maid. Plus new booster seat rule means my 2nd child have to be on booster seat…it’s so squeezy in my current sedan. Plus, if we bring maid out my baby wld have to be carried instead of in car seat (I dun like this!).


But too crazily high la COE, so we take our time to recce 2nd hand car sigh. N dun bring out maid unless necessary lor. See how long can do with this arrangement … SG are made for 2 kids or less lor.

See, that's what I mean by misaligned policy-making. Want to encourage more children, but bigger family means need bigger car (impractical to bring whole family on MRT or traveling in 2 cabs), and yet COE like that. Also, must have car seats and booster seats. Wah biang, how to fit the whole family har? Housing issue also the same - flats getting smaller. Bigger family also need maids, and now more stringent rules on maids... :slapshead: Erm, how do ministers actually communicate with each other to discuss how these policies jive with each other so that the various departments are heading the same direction har? :scratchhead:
