      Aiyoh! Please understand how the COE works lar! Who sets the price? The buyer!

      Aiyoh! Please understand why buyers make the Coe high lar!

      Ya lor. Can't just look at the demand of cars. How about government cut down on the apply of COE?[/quote]It's been a loooongg stated policy of the garment to control car growth, for very obvious reasons. If you want to debate, debate that issue and trade offs, not COE prices.

      Nothing to do with state reserves, which is how this topic first came up.

          There are many good news recently e.g. Number of housing is increased, number of MRT lines increased, baby bonus increased, etc. Is it just coincidental or perfect timing? PE by-election so important meh? Just one seat...


          The good news cannot wait until National Day meh? Otherwise, there is nothing to hope for for National Day leh....
          Baby bonus don't benefit us. Factory already closed lah. Moreover, it is not a long term solution. Bringing up kids is very costly nowadays. How about higher education subsidiary & higher tax rebate for dependents such as children & non working spouse?

              Ya lor. Can't just look at the demand of cars. How about government cut down on the apply of COE?[/quote]How about buy 2nd hand? Just last week I saw a May 2008 BMW 320i at Performance Motors. 'Only' $101k. Come 2018 you can probably renew that COE for another 10 years for $10k. Or... people can just go buy a piece of paper for $92k. Oh, solli. That category is $96k.

              Wait... what dis got to do with PE or reserves? Other than buy that $101k car and drive down to Punggol East to see see look look? :offtopic:

                It dun benefit you and therefore is a worthless policy? How about you put aside self interest for a minute and see it in the total context of procreation policy?

In the meantime his kids took bus to school and he took MRT and taxi. High salary by the way, but no car allowance.

                  Chiong COE for what??

                  On the flip side I know some middle income families with 2 cars! Second one COE at 60+k, consider heng already. Then the guy complain taxes too high.

                  Sheesh

                      Ah, then we need to finesse the message, lest it gets misread. Dun forget, if you throw your hat in with the opposition, it may just come across as a plea for mo money......
