[SINGAPORE] On Mar 4, Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow announced that a review of the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) system is now taking place.
MPs raised the issue of the mainstream car COE premium being higher than that of the luxury category in February, largely due to huge demand for Category A cars, especially electric vehicles tuned to suit the category guidelines.
Addressing Parliament, Siow said that there is “probably still some merit to having some distinction” between mainstream and luxury cars.
