Pack and squeezy plus frequent break downs still not so bad, it is bad when they bundle it with fare increases. Then Government have to come out with a stupid rule that charge foreigners and PRs more to show that citizens are taken care of. Like the recent medical policy.

Pchmj Clutched April 14, 2012 Share April 14, 2012 The hardest hit will be SMEs who NEED vans/lorries. With COE of over 50k, that's over $5000 per year per vehicle of 'tax' just because of COE. While we have to keep wages low to keep business cost low, other costs like land and COE can continue to escalate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in ST, CPI forecasted to go up 3.5-4.5%. Also oil price shooting to $200/B. Another round of inflation coming liao! Real income will continue to shrink further.

Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic April 14, 2012 Share April 14, 2012 I read the ST report and was . Sure cut COE cos number of scrap cars down. With the COE so high, who want to scrap his car. LTA never see such a simple equation meh ... If the COE peg at $20,000/- sure plenty ppl scrap cars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree some things we have no control like oil price, our dear gov seems to magnify the problems. I pity those SME owners when they tell me they worry about their next van as COE is expiring soon, it's a huge burden for small scaled companies with less than 5 workers.

Rncw 5th Gear April 14, 2012 Share April 14, 2012 COE up - commercial vehicles cost up, company increase overheads, put cost to consumers govt cited high oil prices and labour, but what they exclude are cars and housing, which in fact, are also the contributing factor to rising cost...

All car owners only got <10 years of time on their side to delay here, delay there. The MoT/LTA has until forever, to achieve actual reduction of vehicle population to target limit. When it comes to the crunch: to scrap, renew PQP COE, or buy new car at >$100K COE ... the answer will be clear. Many many more will be forced to let go of their cars. Painful hor ...

Actually for property, why must Singaporeans have this penchant to buy private property? Outskirts, 99-yr leasehold somemore. Some take loans to buy and hope to support loan payment with rental income. So highly geared, so risky, it's plain stoopid and foolish lah. We the people, are the ones actually cooking this buying frenzy and driving private property prices up and up! Why cannot we be satisfied with HDB, like our parents did? Also 99-yrs what! Don't blame foreign investors hor, cos they are not interested in outskirts 99-yr LH properties (from latest stats). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No underlying sentiments at all. Every Friday, when I go for lunch at Taman Jurong hawker centre, there will be rows and rows of small-cc, OPCs parked alongside the roads all over the shop!
