Meanmachine 6th Gear May 30, 2020 Share May 30, 2020 In short, i have to summarise that most if not many of us here & within the family do owned car that is self sufficient or car used under " family owned " per say. As Singpore has the highest percentile of car ownerships, usage onto 10 years subject to renewal COE 5/10 period, its mind boggling our G has no others option/s but only this unrealistic and pathetic new car tenure of 10 years use. I was thinking, LTA and authorities come out with longer COE bidding be altered / tweaked/ enhanced to smoothen the rough edges so as to benefit the system, be it the big chunk of taxes be channelled goes to LTA, or the specification of car imported by basic, partial of fully stocks . . . TBH, I'm just a layman trying to ascertain of any scheme, solution or entitlement for Hybrid, Electric for A Win/ Win for all - Motorist, Authority, and future satellite GPS, making us one of the best city driving concept, but first let's start with car that has reach 5/towards 9 years after COE renewal . . .We singaporeans can't be checking out Bolehland petrol week-in week-out at their mercy Can we ? We really need to shake up the car industry here, if we sit around yet doing nothing and accept what;s the norm past 40-50 years, nothing new gonna to happen . . . let's see Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashbang Turbocharged May 30, 2020 Share May 30, 2020 This kind of problem is often in SME. Big companies don't bother. Some big bosses don't drive, some drive practical cars, some drive flashy cars. Same goes for workers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangarans Neutral Newbie May 30, 2020 Share May 30, 2020 Actually a scenario like this can happen when the boss hires someone who has a wealthy family background. The person may have inherited the wealth or business and can afford it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

udally Neutral Newbie May 30, 2020 Share May 30, 2020 My last boss drove a pretty old BMW X6 (you know those typical SME bosses with a mistress from china, love to pay their employees low and expect maximum results and acts like he controls your fate). So one day, I drove my uncle's Bentley Bentayga (he's also an SME boss) to work cuz he was intoxicated the previous night and therefore asked me to drive the car back home and pass it back to him the following day after my work. My ex-boss happened to saw me driving the Bentayga and told me sarcastically "wah, your car more expensive than mine. Your salary can buy this car meh?". After that day onwards, he literally aimed me and tries to find fault with my work. Long story short, he wants me out of the company. Luckily I quit on my own accord and after which I started my own business till now. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
