Meek,

I get your point now.
Theoretically Leasing and Hire Purchase are different ... elsewhere
But you are poking at the main focus of this thread and you are right in singapore context, we only hire purchase the right to own a car from ......

Friend of mine also told me this way too.

Jason : wa friend you buy factory liao ah ?
Friend : no i did not buy, only lease it for 60yrs :biggun:

Dr Lee Bee Wah, MP for Nee Soon GRC, said: "With regards to the restriction on private car loans, there has been plenty of unhappiness from the grounds, from existing car owners to second-hand car dealers.

"Recently, I received a very long email from a resident of mine. He told me that he has been a second-hand car dealer for 17 years. He started off as a salesman after ROD, and he worked his way up and he is currently the CEO. He has 235 cars in hand and 50 staff, and he is crying out for help. He told me he is going to sell his house but he worries he cannot save his business."

"As I read his email, my heart beats with his. Again, the change is so drastic and immediate that some second-hand car dealers like my resident will have to fold up their businesses. Is this cut so critical and so market sensitive that the Government cannot give any advance notice?"

Sounds like this MP is sounding out for the people on the street? No wait, this is a big guy with 235 cars !!!
 
Re: MAS Imposes Financing Restrictions on Motor Vehicle Loans

I think the govt has saved 235 ppl from being saddled with overpriced cars. I m sure when times were good n the dealer was making 8-10k for each car, he didn't email the mp saying he had too much profit n he wants to donate some to the ppl. This is life, if the guy can hold 235 cars it means he is a big player in the car industry, I'm sure he has means to tide over.

I think BVO or SWC have more valid reasons to complain about the foreign workers levy. After all, the entire automotive industry requires workers from up north.
 
Re: MAS Imposes Financing Restrictions on Motor Vehicle Loans

Ppl are complaint abt the rules but the Coe will reflect the true impact of this rule. If the Coe drops to 2005-6 levels car prices drop 70-80k. So currently for a corolla at 140k(i assume) u put 30k for 20% n take 110k loan. If it drops to 80k u put 40k n take 40k loan, which better?. This rule will benefit the buyer in the long run.

There is a huge business opportunity to setup a huge scale vehicle workshop targeting Singaporean in Johor..

Plus while servicing car.. Can go ktv, massage... Everybody wins

I find a lot of business are underpaying their workers( not in reference o the above business) If these workers are paid their true value I'm sure some will be in the s pass n entry level ep. The problem is the bosses need to pay low wages bc of high cost of other items such as rentals that are killing the them. The govt needs to tackle this.

im in healthcare, the biggest cost is rental, this leads to higher charges. If the govt is really keen on bringing down cost they could allocate subsidized or free rentals (like RCs) n the clinics in these places have to operate at prices set by MOH. There are lots of "rich" drs in their 50s 60s who I'm sure wouldn't mind working in these places as a form of social service. Sort of a "not for profit" social enterprise. But even our public hospitals are profit driven :(

Likewise they could do the same for essential services.

but this just based on my limited knowledge.
