Sg young ppl are a naive lot. If you want gahment to give you something be expected that they will be taking back more. Ppl in the past could not afford a car but yet they survived.

There are neighbourhood child-cares all over Sg, try them as it will help ease peak hour traffic. In case of emergencies there's always taxis and ambulance service. Dangling carrots to encourage ppl to have children is not a good idea anyway. Having a child is a lifetime commitment, there will be ups and downs. The idea of encouraging couples to have children so that they can receive car subsidies is wrong. It will only add to their financial burden.

If COE subsidy is applicable for family with kids, so do accommodation, food, medical...The list will go on and on. Singapore will end up having more of the newborns with less well-off parents making decisions primarily based on the amount of benefits they are going to get from having the children. This is adverse selection.

 

And how about parents who get this COE subsidy and then sell off the car to cash out the profit (like some HDB owners selling their flats to make money)? So, we are going to introduce minimum holding period for these cars too? What if their parents divorce? Are we going to force them to sell of the car with COE subsidy? Or we will give 1 more COE subsidy according to your logic?

Lol wads the point of having kids and worrying about getting a car?

 

f--k, might else well dun give birth? As for me, it is not viable and wise to have kids in Sg. Every single f--k s--t is damn expensive and Fts snatching jobs left right center.

Stupid Article.

I'm just wondering what criteria enables people to publish articles?

It's amazing that people who are allowed to publish articles publish not facts but opinions.

What is even more disturbing is that these opinions contain several loopholes which can easily be exploited.

Perhaps these people who are allowed to publish articles should exercise discretion when publishing articles.

This will help to reduce the amount of junk that is already apparent in MCF.

Do you have any friends or relative that managed to raise a family without a car?

  • Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    Forget the Future - Embrace the Past

    Ah, the future. That shiny, chrome-plated paradise we're all supposed to be chasing. Well, I say bollocks to that. Let's take a cheeky detour down memory lane instead, shall we? Imagine you're lounging in a velvet smoking jacket, sipping brandy from a crystal snifter, surrounded by dusty tomes and antique globes. Sounds rather spiffing, no? That's because old is gold, methinks. While everyone else is frantically scrolling through their social media feeds, we'll be gleefully embracing t

    23 years on, Infernal Affairs remains the best gangster movie I've watched

    TL;DR It's over two decades old, but Infernal Affairs remains THE gangster trilogy. *SPOILERS AHEAD* *SPOILERS AHEAD* *SPOILERS AHEAD* The Hong Kong Police and a triad have placed moles in each other's ranks. Tony Leung is Chan Wing Yan, an undercover cop desperate to leave his assignment. The antagonist is Senior Inspector Lau Kin Ming (Andy Lau), a decorated policeman who is actually a mole for Hon Sam (Eric Tsang), a triad boss. It's a game of cat-and-mouse, with poli
