It is so incovenient to use public transport in Malaysia. It affect them convenience to move everywhere in Malaysia mainly Malaysian citizen with Singapore PR.<br /><br />But nowdays, many Singaporean live in Johor and buying car in Malaysia bear with J plates.<br /><br />For me it is not worth to buy car in Singapore just to drive into Malaysia. If Singaporean want to buy car for driving into Malaysia, they buy weekend house in JB, then buy car and left the car in Malaysia.

I am not a taxi driver =)<br /><br />With supply of COE limited, it is natural that prices will move higher. <br /><br />On the side note, I was just thinking whether the government should have a tiered approach to COE pricing instead. If a family already has 1 car, the 2nd car's COE will be much more expensive. This will help ensure a certain amount of "fairness" in the system.financialfreedomhttp://sgfinancialfreedom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345069859964317097.post-64452742271009128772010-03-25T21:59:13.523+08:002010-03-25T21:59:13.523+08:00the way COE prices are skyrocketing is just madnes...the way COE prices are skyrocketing is just madness...hopefully there will come a time when it will come down...together with property prices maybeRoystonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883963186215315521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345069859964317097.post-30439057315630342092010-03-25T16:53:23.664+08:002010-03-25T16:53:23.664+08:00Are you using your car to make a living or just fo...Are you using your car to make a living or just for transport?CreateWealth8888https://www.blogger.com/profile/04870750974362417154noreply@blogger.com
