They claimed it was a fluke because by the next bidding it went back to about $64K. Some say it was because NTUC wanted to register thousands of taxis at that time, so they wayang wayang a bit.

High car populations are due to high influx of the riches. What is $100k COE to them ? With a close of the eyes they can easily make 1 million either legally or illegally.<br />Also soon prc of everything will start to go up due to higher transportation charges, higher petrol prices. bla bla ....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
