blogentry-114362-0-77774000-1442975036_thumb.pngVolkswagen diesel models sold in Singapore are not affected by the widening emissions-cheating scandal, according to the National Environment Agency (NEA).

 

Based on available information, the NEA "understands that the cases reported in the United States pertain to Volkswagen diesel models that are not sold in Singapore", it said in a statement.

However, the agency will investigate and take "appropriate action against any cases of fraudulent emissions claims".

 

Shares in Europe's biggest carmaker plunged almost 20 per cent on Monday after it admitted using software that deceived US regulators measuring toxic emissions in some of its diesel cars.

 

The affected diesel cars have so-called Type EA 189 engines which are built into about 11 million Volkswagen models worldwide.

Under Singapore's environmental regulations, all vehicles need to comply with stipulated emissions standards.

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 4)

    I recently finished watching Shōgun (yes, I'm a little bit late to the party). Released earlier this year, Shōgun has become an utter revelation - going on to win 18 Emmys at this year's Primetime and Creative Arts Emmys, making it the most awarded single season of television in history. It's also the first non-English-language series to win Outstanding Drama Series.  And it truly is outstanding, fully deserving of all the awards that it has garnered.  As you would expect, the show rev
