Kelpie 2nd Gear April 18, 2010 Share April 18, 2010 we need a house to live in, food to survive. etc. these can be really called needs. Can we really say we need a car in singapore? Car in Singapore is just a convenient tool and status symbol. I need a car to move around in Malaysia though. This car spends most of the time in Malaysia than in SG and hardly drink Singapore petrol . Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic April 18, 2010 Share April 18, 2010 Even with so many ppl driving during peak hours, the public transports are still packed to the brim. So one can imagine what happens when no one drives in Sgp and everyone takes public transport. Some of the passengers will have to sit on top of buses and trains just like in Bangladesh. Jokes aside, with our current population and public transport system I would say it's a need for some of us but not all. Largely depends on our public transport. If frequencies of trains & buses are improved, shorter waiting time and reasonable fares I'm sure the needs of a car will be less. But I highly doubt that will even happen at all. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bfree Neutral Newbie April 18, 2010 Share April 18, 2010 U dun need a house, u jus a need a roof over ur head. U dun need food to survive, u need air & water, just imagine a "vege" patient. U dun need to wear clothes, jus cover ur "modesty" from us. U dun need transport, u have legs. Everything since human evolution are not needs but wants. isnt it obvious? All that a livng human need is just to breathe, feed/drink & to survive. So a car is definitely a WANT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic April 18, 2010 Share April 18, 2010 Hearing what the guests said, need or luxury.... i think i can do without the car.... i am not even in sales [sweatdrop] the host tone down a lot this week Actually I dun need a car also. But I have to give support to the car manufacturers otherwise a lot of ppl will loose their jobs. What will their families rely on. So I must not be selfish and only think for myself. I must buy cars to save ppl from losing their jobs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlau Clutched April 18, 2010 Share April 18, 2010 Yes. It is a need. You need a car to show to others you are successful and better than them. You can't prove to others you are more superior if you were to queue for taxi or squeeze in bus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
