The talented student should stay in HDB flats somewhere and not to be located in 'prestige' area. He probably belongs to those high class family where money is no issue.

concur.

 

COE is impediment to owning a car. When the impediment is low, many people own a car easily.

 

and when people own the car, the mindset is that if the car depreciates daily anyway without using it, might as well use it excessively to get their bang for their buck to purchase the car. The COE system actually encourage people to use their car excessively because the depn is the same over time but the depn/km (ie km as a proxy to people's utility from using the car) gets lower as one uses the car more - ie bang for the buck.

 

the person that allow the ERP and COE to be priced affordable to average level and co-exist this way is either stupid or more interested in making money than manage the traffic in singapore. in fact, i see them more as tools of the economy than tools of traffic management. Remember when economy was not really doing well, and few people buying properties (banks also had considerably less business), they increased COE supply, liberalise car loan regulations etc. Now economy doing well (read people buying properties, banks have more than enough business from properties), they decreasing COE. it is the ease with which people bought cars a few years ago that is contributing to the jams now.

 

I totally agree with you. We have been told that the best talent - brightest and smartest - will be drafted to serve the country through the government. If we assume this to be true, then we'd also have to assume that they are not stupid in making that decision some time back. As such, the only conclusion is...... You see this too in how traffic lights cameras have been justified...they are there to impede speeding and catch drivers who run the red light so that the roads may be safer for all road users... Being a driver, I find traffic light cameras hazardous to the safety of all road users! To be sure, I slow down whenever I reach a junction with camera...the problem is how much slower do I go..I had been caught in situations where I slow down too much that cars behind me honk me and I have also slowed down not enough such that as I almost reach the lights, the darn thing turned amber and red, causing me to slam on the brakes so as not to be caught on camera. A true system that really is for the safety of road users would be a timed traffic light junction such as the one currently being used in JB..with the number of seconds displayed, drivers know exactly when to stop and when to go. If our neighbours can do it, why can't we when we proclaim ourselves to be better than them? Again, this line of questioning and logical analysis leads us to just one answer.....

yeah....that's why i advocate people to decipher the actions of our garment instead of being blindly loyal.

[Guoqing]

Aiyah...some rich people just do not know the problem of the poor people ....:(

No wonder she is still a student. She didn't realize how many Singaporeans

have no sense of economic. They just drive into city conveniently, until ERP

increases again, they get furious, but still do the same damned thing.

This is SG, our government knows them too well.

 

No wonder ppl said SGeans are rich.

If we are already laughing at this, why wouldn't the editors. May be they did it on purpose to release the print.
