Re: Changes to COE: Government includes car engine power to categorisation
KICKING CAN DOWN THE ROAD. That is why policy-makers in Sg are doing. Sad fact. You can be a president's scholars, go to Harvard school of policy or LKY school of policy or 5-star general etc etc... the result is the same. You can't flip out the real motive of a cash cow because afterall, it is a CASH COW! Adding bells and whistles, do not make a policy better or enrich people's lives. Making policies simple, transparent and value-added however can do wonders.

Mistake #1 They released too many COEs for one decade becos of wrong model used. End up jam everywhere.
Mistake #2 In order to correct #1, they cut car population growth but forgot that we want population growth to 6.9M. My dog also know COE prices will shoot thru the roof.
Mistake #3 In order to correct #2, they re-categorize COE to help the not so well to do but need car group...and of all things use engine power.
While spending their time making mistakes after mistakes and spending resources catching illegal number plates etc, traffic lights remain totally out of sync and plans for new roads remains on the drawing board.

These are NOT mistakes. You think you can do better? Join in & make a change. Otherwise, you're just another internet superhero ala keyboard warrior.
There, I said it again, for the 60.1.
PAP, please thank me.

Actually, having said all that, I agree with the government that we should NOT have too many cars on the roads, and it's NOT the government's job to help every Singaporean own a car.
It's just the method that these supposedly high-flying, smarty-pants scholars came up with that I've serious issues.
I mean, FFS, penalizing a car because it's more engine efficient, fuel frugal and can deliver a better bang for our hard earned buck? What next? Force the children of ministers to ONLY enrol in neighbourhood schools, because they are born into a family of power and prestige and privilege?
That's how ridiculous it seems, to the unlearned, lay person of a farmer boy here.

Cannot. Because this may be negatively seen as "you scratch my back(side) and I scratch yours". In the end, whole gang end up scratching each other like a troop of flea-infested monkeys.
