Time to buy a car in Malaysia and pay VEP daily. Extracted from Limsimi - Nowadays, buying a car in Singapore seems to be an affair for the privileged upper class of citizens. And we are not taking about marquee brands like Posche and Ferrari. We are talking about Toyota Altis, Honda Civic and even Hyundai Avante. After all, the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) in Singapore has now reached a new frenzied height at a 10 year high. A piece of non-transferable COE paper (alone!) will now cost you: Small-Medium Car: S$47,604 (RM114,250) Large Car: S$62,502 (RM150,004) Crazy COE Price in Singapore As a result of this paper chase, the prices of the following models ballooned to a fashion which led aspiring car owners to chase the dust: Toyota Altis: S$100,333 (RM240,800) Honda Civic (1.8l): S$123,000 (RM295,200) Hyundai Avante: S$98,000 (RM235,200) At such prices, you can get a landed property in Johor Bahru instead if you forgo the drive. For Malaysian Work Permit Holders (non-PRs) working in Singapore and yet to own a car, it is now mathematically sound to buy a car in Malaysia and simply pay the VEP on a daily basis instead. Let's use the example of David Si Pei Heng who works in Singapore and because he is a non-Singaporean PR, can drive a Malaysia-Registered Car into Singapore. David can either choose to: 1. Buy a Honda Civic in Singapore (Total Cost: S$123,000) 2. Buy a Honda Civic in Malaysia and pay the daily VEP fees (Total Cost: RM120,000 (S$50,000) + VEP fees for 10 years (S$25 * 22 working days * 12 *10 = S$66,000) = S$116,000) This means that if David choose option 2 - over a 10 year period, he will: 1. Save S$7,000 compared against option 1 in terms of car purchase. 2. Pay lower car insurance. 3. Save on interest from car loan 4. Pay only a fixed cost of ERP at S$5.00 daily, even if he travel in/out of the CBD area like nobody's business. 5. Save on VEP for those days he is on MC or want to Chao Keng". 6. Save on Road Tax...

Two former Certis Cisco officers who were tasked with the job of replenishing money at ATMs in Singapore ended up misappropriating nearly $147,000 instead. For that, 21-year-old Palwinder Singh A/L Harjan Singh will now spend 30 months in jail while 27-year-old Theywa Subramaniam will serve a 36-month jail term. The court heard that Theywa, deemed to be more culpable, was also convicted of one count of moving the criminal proceeds to Malaysia and another count of moving more than $30,000 cash out of Singapore. The court was told that the offences were committed in mid-September last year when the two officers made their rounds with another colleague, who was not involved. The two men had discussed their plan over tea break, after sharing with each other their unhappiness with their employer's management. They decided to execute their plan when they were at Plaza Singapura. Instead of heading for the ATMs directly, the two men pushed the trolley carrying the cash into the men's washroom. Their movement was captured on CCTV. They took out $147,000 and left the other $293,000 cash in the bags before continuing their rounds. The prosecution had previously argued that the starting point for such offences is a jail term of between 24 and 28 months. The aggravating factors in this instance were that the two accused were security officers and that their plea of guilt is inequitable, as they were caught on CCTV and the offences would have been discovered. In mitigation, the defence counsel argued that $135,000 was recovered at Theywa's Malaysian residence, and that his client was truly remorseful, having "supreme stupidity of thinking that they could get away". But District Judge Siva Shanmugam pointed out that the acts were pre-meditated and that the amount involved was substantial. He said the blatant abuse of trust has undermined public confidence in the security industry. For criminal breach of trust as an employee, they could each have been jailed up to 15 years and fined.

i have seen malaysians who are very $ faced & $ minded. Are most of them like that? their trait ? I have my fair share of them. Almost every minute thinking & talking $$$. About who and who make big bucks, live in big houses and drive big cars etc.. A real turnoff for me. What are your experiences or stories with them?

They showed support of their friends back home. Those back home in KL risked injuries / arrests to voice their protest yesterday. Those who live in SGP gathered at Hong Lim Park to show support for the same cause. What have 'the leaders' done to the locals here who dont care about similar issues, but only worry about whether they can upgrade their flats, whether their children get a place in 'good schools' (these are legitimate pursuits but life is more than that). Shame..... the 'rules' here make such support unlikely to happen, it just shows how freedom is 'designed' here in an unique way.

They looking like very suar Khoo talking loudly with the funny mandarin and fashen sens also bad...
