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:

as I proposed before, gov’t should give family with 3 or more kids a subsidised COE or free COE with more than 4 kids … part of procreation incentive…sure to help in a car crazy society

why not charge more or 2X the COE price for those DINK families for having 2nd car....

Hey! That would give even ME and incentive to have a 3rd one leh!!!! But must waive COE entirely. (Sekali a few years later COE waived off entirely for everyone! Then :stupid: :rant: :frustrated: by then, too late to withdraw having 3rd child. :rotflmao: )

it is not how much the rich can afford

it is how little the less well off could afford to cater to the family needs of transportation with young kids and a bigger brood encouraged by gov't, hence they should subsidise the COE or even give one free for such families who fulfills the gov't call for more kids

since the gov't is very good in giving out incentive and disincentive, this should be one for social engineering
