Singaporeans have been sucked high and dry, the spending power almost reaching the ground zero level. Just look around you, how much taxes you need to pay daily. If you are renting a car from the government for 10 years(10 years COE), you need to pay more than 100% of taxes called ARF, next comes the GST, the COE, the road tax, more than 50% petrol tax, so for every kilometer of road you move your rented car around, just calculate how much of money you spend goes to the govt coffer!Next come the ERP gantry charges! Again the money goes to the govt, the car park charges, tarffic accident and any other fines, whether you are in the right or in the wrong, again the fines go to the govt coffer!!!If you have a bit of money left for your foods, you still need to fork out 5% for the GST, you go public toilet, again you need to pay! If you are taking a bus or MRT, you are no better off and if you forget to 'tap' your EZ-link card, you will have to go to jail besides paying the ever increasing (one way traffic) fares! So you see when Singaporeans spending power reaching ground zero, Rupiahs also welcome not to mention ringgit!!!!

I have said this at Car forums
Off peak car scheme is a trade off...
Anyway, if you do not have relatives in Malaysia, you dun understand... To enter SG, need to pay RM45 to SG govt liao...
Anyway, they min earn $400,000 from MY motorbikes daily from VEP -
The question is not whether ur relatives are visiting singapore.
What i am saying is the govenmant says it wants to control congestion by issusing COE. So doesn't malaysian cars add to the congestion. -
