LTA to cut road tax by 15% for most vehicles from July 1 By Hiroshi Limmell, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 05 June 2008 1851 hrs Photos 1 of 1 SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will reduce road tax for most vehicles from 1 July. In a statement, the LTA said road tax for cars, motorcycles, taxis and commercial vehicles will fall by 15 per cent. Electric and hybrid cars will also see a 15 per cent decline in road tax rates. And it's also good news for Euro-IV diesel car owners. In February this year, LTA said the special tax for Euro-IV cars will be revised downwards. From July onwards, LTA will be reducing the special tax for Euro-IV engines, which is paid on top of the normal road tax for these vehicles. Currently, the special tax is priced at four times the normal tax of a similar capacity petrol car. The new rates will be lower. For example, the 6-months special tax for a 1.6 litre Euro-IV diesel car will be cut from the current S$1,488 to S$1,000. Ownvers will also have a reduced normal tax rate to pay for these vehicles, from the existing S$437 to S$372. LTA said the revision is due to a reduction in carbon emissions by the diesel cars. More information on the new road tax structure can be found at www.onemotoring.com.sg. - CNA/vm Appears to be accross the board. No matter how meager the reduction is, couldnt be more timely to combat inflation -

MFA confirms new ruling for short stays; it is expected to be lifted after Olympics in August. -ST Lee Hui Chieh Tue, Apr 22, 2008 The Straits Times IT IS confirmed: Singaporeans travelling to China from July 1 will need a visa - even for stays lasting 15 days or less. This requirement is expected to be lifted after the Olympic Games, which Beijing is hosting from Aug 8 to 24. A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) here said that it was told of the visa requirement by the Chinese authorities yesterday. She said: 'We have been given the assurance that the visa requirement is a temporary measure. The visa-free travel facility for trips of 15 days or less will be reinstated after the Beijing Olympics.' However, Beijing did not specify exactly when this would happen, she added. The MFA's statement yesterday made official the latest change to China's visa rules, first reported in The Straits Times last Saturday. It follows a series of recent changes which have reportedly caused confusion and delays. For example, travellers going to China through Hong Kong were left stranded when the Chinese Foreign Ministry in Hong Kong stopped granting them visas. The tightened rules are said to be in line with growing security concerns over the Olympics and the unrest in Tibet. Since 2003, citizens from Singapore, Brunei and Japan have been exempted from applying for visas for short stays of up to 15 days in China. The new rule, however, appears to apply only to Singapore, going by a page on the website of China's embassy in the United States, which was updated a week ago. Neither MFA nor the Chinese embassy here could confirm this. The 2003 move was aimed at boosting tourism and business travel to China - and it seems to have done just that. The number of Singaporeans going there has been increasing: In the first 11 months of last year, Singaporeans made over 812,000 visits to China, more than 11 per cent higher than for the same period in 2006. Travel agents last night said they did not foresee tourists cancelling their trips to the mainland largely because the agents will handle visa applications for their customers. Travellers who would experience the hassle of applying personally for their visas are the minority who buy their tickets online or from the airlines, said Ms Alicia Seah, vice-president of UOB Travel Planners. Getting a China visa usually takes four working days to a week. It is not clear yet whether the new rule will result in delays in getting visas here, but travel agents seem confident they will be able to cope. Ms Ivy Tan, Chan Brothers Travel's director of marketing communications, said her company has an entire department handling visa applications. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the driver of that vehicle, you are one inconsiderate jerk. Cut me on the left, without signal. That lane is only lane towards Jln Ahmad Ibrahim. You think your cc bigger I must let you cut in (without signal), smaller cars good to bully. I have shown you that smaller is not a pushover already. So if you want to overtake, please do it on the right not ON THE LEFT. AND PLEASE SIGNAL, Cause it's dangerous and I might not know what stunt are you going to pull on the last minute.

Healthy sales at a weekend event gave the market a boost, contrary to our expectations. The bad news for car buyers: a fall looks likely in August DESPITE OUR EXPECTATIONS, the COE market finished higher this week, and more than a little sharply too in the case of the Category A certificate. Used to register cars 1.6 litres and below, as well as taxis, the Category A COE closed at an even $16,000, or $1,199 up. The other COEs saw less dramatic climbs, more or less trading sideways. While the certificate for cars above 1.6 litres (Category B) ended Wednesday
