I didn't expect to read about "some customers" and "these people" when I click on the article. Sounds like there're more rich crooks in SG than I imagined.

Dealers, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter, said some customers want to avoid the scrutiny that may come with such high-value purchases.

One dealer said: “It doesn’t matter whether they are in so-called legitimate businesses or not. These people just want to play it safe and not get into any trouble.”

The use of the word "so-called" is telling.  

But the decline is probably due to the higher taxes but seriously, the high car tax for supercars here will make even rich Indonesians think twice, so people who buy them (not all) really make easy money. Easy come easy go.

Easy way to wash money - buy, drive around for a year or two then deregister and export. Who was the high roller who bought a Pagani and later got in trouble? Ah, Ng Yu Zhi (I googled it). Rich also don’t be too flamboyant if the sources are murky…

Seriously, unless one has so much money until don't know how to spend, throwing away millions in a short time frame of less than 10 years is something only a siao lang will do. (OK I sour grape)

That's why I will never join politic. Got money also cannot spend. :D:D

PS: I dua pao only lah, I am not even qualify in the first place, and have too many victoria dark secrets liao... [:p]

PARF capped at $60k is the killer I guess

Agree, i think to some extent some may feel the pain though they have loads of money. But to some of others,  spending a million over a few years, whether to take back 200k parf or 60k parf does not really bother them i guess.

That's why even in legitimate business also must be prudent to ensure not seen as laundering 🤣
