i was thinking they will come up with a plan like this - remove those PHV to a new cat and let them fight it out...for typical ordinary users should not be in the same cat as PHV lah...

No need to remove. PHVs pays 7 times more premium to reflect the 7-10 times more mileage per year. And they must be scrapped at year 7 with no parf and can take back 30% of the COE.

I say make Cat B fifty expensive.

Cat A moderate like PHV

and Cat F (Family) modest pricing.

Soak the rich that instead of washing car buy new one!

Some of them change car faster than I change underwear.

I wear front then wear back then change inside out and wear front and then back again.

It's his way of offering an olive branch to the car market without impacting the zero growth policy. Take it or leave it.  😤 

By pulling forward future COEs quota will actually create a temporary  growth, until those COE expire in a few years time.  By then, we will face a negative growth , more people will be scraping their cars than the available COEs, just imagine what will happen. Those who hope that COE will come down by 2025 will be disappointed , in fact COE may go up instead because of the demand higher than supply issue just from the group of people who scrap their cars alone. 

With the much higher new car price  due to higher arf, moving forward, people renewing COE at above 100k may be a norm, especially those in the CAT B segment.

EZ-Link card value can be "earned" via Healthy365.

in addition, EZ-Link card can be capped at $120/mth.

Spending $120/mth on public transport is not ez hor.

SK GRC all small prawns, nothing will change with that loss. Don't think MIW will win back next elections. 

You so confidence they would not win back SK? 😅 I find this GRC quite shaky.

The problem is PHV can easily change back to private car. So how to enforce?

No change allowed like taxi.  Of course they can use it as a private car but at 7 times COE (and road tax)? No one would do that.

The other  double standard is that taxi has a life span of 7 years , but PHV can go up to 10 years, after that  renew COE and get sold as auntie use for marketing  only .
