Raising COE [Was : COE above $80,0000]

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

verykiasu2010:
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
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 -

Totally agree! I have 4 kids and a maid. All my kids need car seats. How to squeeze all into one sedan car? Want to change to MPV but with the current COE prices even 2nd hand MPV also dun come cheap!KSP:

world crass -
Price of 2nd hand car not cheap either. I calculated I'll be paying more for a 2nd hand car compared to my current 1st hand car. Headache liao.
A friend shared an old joke .... Mahathir produce proton to increase revenue. LKY smarter just need printer n paper to produce COE to increase revenue. All things equal, not considering other factors like size of ctry etc...they said LKY is brilliant. Ya....at the expense of the citizens lah....suck citizens dry.
Soon cars in SG are for the rich only...already now most of the SK plates are luxury cars. Public transport is crappy....taxi expensive, train congested n not reliable, bus accident. :siao: -
verykiasu2010:
agree. it should be means tested, so those with more kids and lower income should get heavy COE subsidy. cos for those with very young kids a car is really more a necessity than a luxury. and sure, they can always limit the make of the car to make sure that ppl don't overspend.KSP:

i see a couple in factory uniform, bought quite an old looking mitsubishi car to ferry their two little kids to childcare and nanny. felt quite sorry for them, the car cost must be a big financial burden. and all they are trying to do is bring up a family, perhaps let their children have a little more sleep in the morning, since it's faster to cover distances with a car than public transport (let's not get started on public transport when u have v young kids)... -
