How much saving do you think is enough for a good retirement in Singapore?

On the Grab and Uber new players coming in, it’s a zero sum game. When someone gain market shares, another will lose. It’s not a big market in SG. Perhaps some comfort or citycab drivers are switching to the new players…


However, I’m really skeptical about the biz model of getting new cars (with COE) which will be privately owned and operate as uber. Not sure how long can this last… But gov will be happy coz they will keep the COE price ‘high’, at least for a few bids…

u mean we can get the car plate no. from LTA ? no need to go thru car agent?

u can go online to bid for your preferred car plate number. or buy from resellers...

actually my dh told me he did it online to bid...didn't have to go to Sin Ming.

now it starts with SLC...

[quote=\"lee_yl\"]Just left LTA. Wanted to bid for SLA but the queue was soooo long, DH asked to come back another day. After checking the web, DH told me only left SLB.

Alamak! I want 'A', I don't want 'B' lah!

u got your new car ? which one

Not yet. Can keep 6mths-1yr right?
One uncle told my DH he spent half a day queuing up, stupid system/procedure, cannot do it online.
Aiyo... No more SLA...[/quote]u mean we can get the car plate no. from LTA ? no need to go thru car agent?

will there be a tweak in the COE/Car ownership system?

Is it true those in top tiers have to be more independent whereas those in mid or lower tiers are provided with more hand holding?

i still see new schs being built in new town… those affected teachers will just be relocated to other new schs… looking at current economy, teachers are more secured…

after ERP 2.0 from 2020, the traffic condition will be back to before ERP 1.0..... coz the charges will be based on usage not where the vehicles go..... well, its going to be back to square one.... who would want to use normal road if can use expressway with same charges ? :slapshead: and no matter what the drivers will have to pay more eventually :moneyflies:

They probable already done the matrix of which 50m of which road at which hour / minute will be priced how much, loaded into their program liao. And probably bus lane infringement also load into the system for auto tracking. Understand the satellite can tell you in clarity your car number plate and on which lane you are on. Try running the red light.

with the kind of accuracy u described, there should be no argument in the event of accident....
