This morning I want to talk a little about the COE or Certificate of Entitlement one must have in order to buy a motor vehicle.
A COE for small car of less than 1600 cc would cost you about $60,000 or US$43,000 (exchange rate is US$1 = S$1.4) and a bigger one $56,000. If you do not own a COE, you are not allowed to buy a motor vehicle in Singapore.
The cost of owning a vehicle is exorbitant. Take a Japanese made car of 1500 cc as an example. It would cost you around $120,000 (total cost).
In Singapore, to own a nice car would mean that you are rich.
Fortunately for me (I can't afford a car), I make use of my company's van for business and family transportation.
Breakfast
I had Yong Tau Foo for breaky. Wanted to have it at Toast Box but the place was so crowded the people were waiting for others to vacate the place. So I went to YTF stall which was quieter.
I didn't use the sauces for my YTF because I realised I am now allergic to them. I used soya sauce instead which is safer.
