I forsee another casualty in the next election. In fact, this ministerial portfolio is the most unpopular amongst the whole cabinet.

Not sure if "tweaks" meant increases or reduction in the rates.

But 1 thing for sure, lesser COEs are going to be available, which means......you know what.

i can't recall where but i recently went past a gantry that charged a very strange $1.30 instead of the usual multiple of 25c or 50c... wondering if the price of that gantry went up by 30c? or was it a discount of 20c from $1.50? nonetheless, it's getting really expensive to drive these days...

COE is gonna shoot up again next yr. Think the car trade is gonna suffer double whammy. Economic crisis + high COE price... deadly combination..

Perhaps the used car dealers would see some light.

It's not just the sheer numbers per se.

1. Staring at incidents happening on the shoulders and opposite direction.

2. Lane discipline

3. Improper route planning

We need re-education and courtesy reminders not just charging more to use the roads.

I have written in to the relevant authorities and they have assured me that they have done and are still doing what they can.

Yeah whatever.
