BELI KETE SINGAPORE???
-------------------------------------

Tak tau apa nak cerita this week…

Last week antara sessi 'suai-kenal' secara informal dgn staff2 disini semasa break, a Singaporian ask me about my expenses driving the car daily into the island. Den cakap ler how much (for S'pore side SD29.20 per day) Then he say kalau begitu baik den beli kete S'pore jerk. Even tho' still has to pay the tol (SD 9.20 per day), the VEP charge of SD20 per day (i.e SD 420 per month) boleh dielakkan if driving in a S'pore registered car.

Bila fikir2kan semula cam logic gak. The VEP + currently car installment den means den mampu guna kereta up to SD700 per month. Basically kete kat sini regenya a bit mahal dari M'sia, also the road tax, insurance, etc. However in the long run it will be cheaper sbb penjimatan dari kos VEP hari2 tuh tadi. Better yet kalau disini beli kete baru yg sudah siap dipasang dgn NGV (kat sini dipanggil CNG) dpt rebate riban2 SD lagik.

The tricks is kalau sgn status FOREIGNER den sekarang, car loan agak payah kena siap ada S'porean guarantor segala. The easiest is to be the Singapore PR. Ramai gak org2 luar yg dah biasa keje kat sini apply for SPR nie, including Malaysian Cuma den lum sempat nak study apa kebaikkannya jadi SPR (selain buleh TAMBAH hutang kat negara orang..he..he..he..).

Tetapi bila TPM semalam announce akan buat 2 pam disempadan M'sia bagi membezakan harga patrol bagi kenderaan tempatan & luar..kena timbang tara semula this option..he..he..he.. Persoanally this idea mmg bagus & patut dah dijalankan dari dulu lagi, why org luar juga menikmati subsidi minyak utk rakyat kita? (Jgn marah ek kak Bella..he..he.he..) Patut ler ramai my Singaporean collogues setiap hujung minggu melintas ke JB semata2 utk isi minyak.
