Fast to increase slow to reduce... At least they are human enough to lower down the prices. Tue, May 18, 2010 AsiaOne By Tony Ng PUMP prices fell by four cents last night. A litre of 92- and 95-octane petrol now costs $1.777 and $1.837 respectively. A litre of 98-octane petrol goes for $1.920. The price of diesel remains unchanged at $1.333 According to a Straits Times report, Esso made the first move in reducing its prices by four cents a litre. This was followed by Singapore Petroleum Co and Caltex. Shell was the last to adjust prices at 7pm. The reduction in pump prices come after a dip in oil prices that occurred at least a week ago. An AsiaOne reader, sukhoi27, has been monitoring crude oil futures since a week ago. sukhoi27 noted that since crude was down as much as 14.5 per cent within one week, oil companies should be making price adjustments.

SINGAPORE: One car dealer calls it a tsunami, another describes it as the point of no return. These best sum up sentiments, after COE prices hit fresh highs on Wednesday in the first bidding tender since a reduction in COE supply kicked in. The biggest increase was in the big

Wed, Apr 21, 2010 AsiaOne By Tony Ng THE heat is off car dealers and buyers, at least for this week, as premiums for Certificates of Entitlements softened in the second open bidding of April. A piece of Category A COE, used for small cars 1,600cc and below, now cost $30,000 instead of $34,001. Getting a piece of Category B COE, used for larger cars above 1,600cc, will cost you $5,500 lesser. At the close of bidding, it finished at $40,001. Both are around 12 per cent drops from the previous premiums. The premium for the Open Category, mainly used for cars, dropped $5,997 to finish at $43,003 as well. Premiums for commercial vehicles and motorcycles ended at $35,556 and $1,253 respectively.

Through the power of Facebook, up to a half a million drivers in the UK are expected to boycott gas next month shortly before the nation heads to the polls for a general election in which Prime Minister (PM) Gordon Brown is fighting stiff competition for the win. Many Brits are upset with recent gas tax increases that were supported and passed by PM Brown. Protesters hope that the mass demonstration will be the nail in the coffin for his chances of winning. Gas prices have soared in Britain, reaching U.S. $1.87 a liter (about $7.06 a gallon) last week. The numbers are a significant increase from a year ago when gas was only $5.55 a gallon. Further upsetting residents, the government pockets a whopping $4.42 from each gallon sold, yet still insists that more taxes are needed. Another government-mandated tax increase is scheduled for this fall followed by one more next winter and, frankly, many people are fed up. On May 1st, protesters will go into action by blocking entry into local gas stations. As boycott organizer Jo Slater said, "We need to take action, the only way we'll see petrol prices fall is if we hit someone in the pocket." Additional protests are scheduled across the nation with support from the trucking industry and farmers. Here in the states, we constantly hear complaints of gas prices that are astronomical. Sure, $2.80 might seem like a lot to us, but it's like a slap in the face compared to the UK's knock-out blow.

SINGAPORE : Some car buyers who had ordered their vehicles just before recent jump in COE prices have ended up paying more. They had chosen the "Non-guaranteed COE", and would now have to pay an additional S$10,000. Car dealers said most buyers opted for "non-guaranteed COE" when COE prices were on a downward trend. This reversed when COE prices started climbing, with more going for "guaranteed COE", even if they had to pay S$3,000 to S$5,000 more. COE prices for small cars have nearly doubled since January. Now, COE prices for small cars stood at S$34,000, up from about S$18,000 three months ago. Some car dealers said industry players are struggling to cope with the increase. The Singapore Vehicle Traders Association (SVTA) said it is important to pick the right COE package at the time of purchase. It also warned that verbal agreements with car dealers are not enough, adding that it is best to have everything spelt out in black and white in the form of a contract. SVTA Honorary Secretary Raymond Tang said: "Some dealers say their company has never failed in bidding for a COE before, but this doesn't mean they won't fail to do so in the future." Car dealers said buyers can also ask for a refund of their deposit, but most of them have chosen to top up instead. - CNA/al source http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1051200/1/.html -
Man, I'm telling ya, car prices are really high these days, really really high. How high you say? Car prices are so high, President Nathan will arrive in a Vios at the next NDP Car prices are so high, SAF will scrap GP cars and give all COs a bicycle instead Car prices are so high, Geely is rebranding itself as the new Rolls Royce. Car prices are so high, showrooms will list prices as $120k instead of $120,000 to save ink. Car prices are so high, you can take a 30 years loan and pay with your CPF. Car prices are so high, a wheel nut can soon be traded as precious metal. Ok, enough of that, Let's move on.

More expensive petrol will make people drive less often. Then there will be less jams. We are just a small island afterall. I have also realise there are bad jams along bukit timah road and clementi road during evening peak hours. ERP there will be good to cut down traffic. bulk of the jam cause by people driving to SIM for lessons and parents fetching children from school. Should encourage them to take public transport to reduce jams.

SINGAPORE: In an effort to discourage retailers from selling cigarettes, the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) could increase retail licence fees for tobacco by September. Currently, there are three kinds of licence fees, ranging between S$40 and S$270. This figure could increase by 30 per cent. MediaCorp understands that the authorities could also impose stiffer penalties for those selling cigarettes to underaged smokers. There are about 5,000 tobacco retailers in Singapore, half of them in coffee shops and they're likely to feel the pinch. Thomas Foo, chairman, Kheng Keow Coffee Merchants, Restaurant and Bar-Owners Association, said:

Crude Oil went up over USD8.00 per barrel in the last 10 trading days. An increase of ABOUT 12% DO expect pump prices to go up. Not by 12% of course ..... maybe 6 cents per litre or 3+%.

Four ways to bring down flat prices http://www.straitstimes.com/ST%2BFor...ry_430779.html I APPLAUD the new measures by the Government to curb speculation in the property market and reinstate the Government Land Sales Programme. However, they do little to alleviate the structural problems at the root of the resale HDB market and the frustrations of many home seekers. It is too easy to blame cash over valuation (COV) for the rampant rise in resale prices or repeat continuously that resale HDB flats are affordable. Four measures could be taken to significantly improve the supply of resale HDB flats and thus lower prices. HDB flats should be affordable housing only for genuine home owners who occupy the flats. They should not be used for investment or rental income. The resale market is still tight because many owners, who have already moved out, are simply holding on to their property or hoping for a collective sale. If owners do not live in their flats any more, they should be put on the market immediately. There should be an income and assets cap for owners of HDB flats. If the owners are very successful in life after buying an HDB flat, they should leave their property on reaching a certain threshold and sell it. It is not right that families with multiple properties and very high salaries are able to hold on to their HDB flats. Have a staggered income ceiling instead of a blanket one of $8,000, applicable across all HDB flats ranging from $200,000 to $600,000. For example, have an $8,000 income ceiling for flats valued below $400,000, a $10,000 ceiling for flats valued above that and below $600,000, and $12,000 ceiling for flats valued above $600,000. Take property agents out of the equation. HDB should stimulate and facilitate direct owner-buyer contact. I urge HDB to consider these measures to tackle the problem at its root and let go of its free-property-market thinking. Lim Hing Kok WHAT DO U ALL THINK OF HIS SUGGESTIONS?
-
Dear All, I am just curious, having seen all the HDB property prices related threads, do you seriously want HDB prices to fall? I guess this poll/question will attract different responses, depending on your situation or life cycle stages you're in. Come share your opinons... Thargor
