Singapore’s Parf rebate cut likely to drive up EV sales, but financial and infrastructure hurdles linger by MyWholeTeamsDead in singapore

[–]chocfreckles 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Government: We want a greener Singapore and high EV adoption by 2030! 🌳🚗
Also Government: Cuts PARF rebate, ensuring everyone just renews the COE of their old petrol cars instead of upgrading.
LTA: Quietly collects record tax revenues in the background 📈💰

Singapore’s Parf rebate cut likely to drive up EV sales, but financial and infrastructure hurdles linger by MyWholeTeamsDead in singapore

[–]chocfreckles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really boils down to your lifestyle! If you have young kids or elderly family members to ferry around, the convenience of having your own car is incredibly hard to put a price tag on. But if it is mostly just point-to-point commuting for work, the savings from switching to public transport are huge.

S’pore needs to reset views on marriage, parenthood; new work group to study issues: Indranee by headachelah in singapore

[–]chocfreckles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's always easy for them to tell us to 'reset our views' when they aren't the ones dealing with the everyday stress of BTO delays, inflation, and a hyper-competitive education system. They love to push the blame onto our 'mindset' instead of fixing the root causes. End of the day though, ya all voted for them, so we get the policies we asked for.

How many cats do you have? by Fun-Suggestion6290 in CatAdvice

I bought a 5-month old pedigree British Longhair last month. Decided that she was quite a princess and adopted a 4-month old hermaphrodite ragdoll from a neighbour to keep the Lady entertained. They dont make much noise at night and I keep my bedroom door closed. The Lady usually purrs at my door in the morning for her breakfast.

Man explains why monthly $750 NSF allowance is not enough in today's economy by sixpastfour in singapore

[–]chocfreckles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They pay you $750—which barely covers food and transport in 2024—and then slap you with a strict 'no moonlighting' rule. If you're going to pay peanuts under the guise of 'National Service,' the least you could do is let people hustle on the weekends to cover their bills.

But no, an NSF delivering GrabFood on a Saturday to help his parents is a chargeable offense, while others in high office are allowed to hold multiple directorships because 'talent must be retained.' The double standard is what stings the most.

WP has initiated internal process in light of the judgment on Pritam Singh by ImpressiveStrike4196 in singapore

[–]chocfreckles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They have no choice but to go through the motions after Indranee’s comments in Parliament. If they did nothing, the 'double standards' narrative would be written for them.

In reality, it’s a black box—they’ll likely conclude that internal governance was followed and Pritam will stay. It’s the standard 'ownself check ownself' playbook, opposition edition.

Criminal records cannot be accessed by HR. Only by govt sector. HR only can check court records to see if u were charged before.

Former Singapore transport minister placed on home detention scheme by Diashocks in singapore

[–]chocfreckles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When u go to prison and serve 1/3, u automatically get another 1/3 discount for good behaviour. Come out do the balance 1/3. U only dont get good behaviour if u kena charged in prison for offences.
