Ranting.... Malaysians are Really Lucky People.....

[teo1957]

My own perspective of SG vs. MY car ownership:

1. In SG, before thinking of the price of car, you need to think of price of COE: which fluctuates.
2. Price of car is not that cheap also.
3. In SG, RON95 is around SGD2.10.
4. In MY, RON95 is RM1.90.
5. In MY got toll, in SG also got toll.
6. SG is small everywhere is near.
7. SG parking is astronomical.
8. COE + Car Price + Toll + Parking = expensive.
9. Still many supercars there, because many rich people.
10. Many rich people, but MORE people not that rich.
11. That's why most don't own a car.

So yes, in terms of car ownership for a car enthusiast, it sucks being in Singapore.

the public transportation here(sg) is ok lar...hong kong is much better...i use to work in hong kong and i use to own a car there...well in hong kong is cheap to buy car...but to own a car its kinda expensive...but the law in hk is really tough thought....im malaysian i really miss the driving days when i was in kl....its the bomb!! almost everything can settle...hahaha....got pros and cons everywhere lar...just gotta live with it...

Sorry for ranting here but I am just EXTREMELY pissed......

This is because my dreams of a Satria R3 is gone (thought of important into SG) and I don't even know how long I will be able to keep my Satria Neo.

Cause the COE for a 1.6L car in Singapore now cost $56K some idiot in my country decides to cut down car population growth by reducing the COE quota again.... This means prices will not come down for a long long time already.....

And in ~5yrs time, I may be forced to scrap my Neo because I don't think I can afford over $50K to renew the COE for another 10yrs.

Seriously, I am EXTREMELY pissed and really envious and jealous of your people in MY!!

Cars are cheap and can keep forever!! So good...... :(

Really thinking of migrating to MY instead of staying in this crappy tiny island........

No doubt Malaysia is a nice country. But you haven't seen the big picture yet.

dunno everyone complaint own country,sg ppl complaint sg,say wan come msia..but malaysia still complaint fuel price expensive,car price expensive tax by big boss govt...same geng with proton and perodua.that why,we malaysia not many afford buy super car or sport car..example subaru is around rm200k for ppl who just earn rm5k also cant,no enough for staying in kl,high standard living cost...
for sg,who earn sgd 5k,can enjoying better life in sg or weekend go to jb be king..everything is cheaper for them...anyone agree what i say about different between sg and malaysia

 

[jimmyae101]

i hate malaysia for too many toll in klang valley/NVKE should free of toll payment willing making people who staying in kl working feeling to go back every week to visit their old parent/friend,bad maintenance road in highway,small road,main road...got hole anywhere in klang valley damage our expensive sport rim or DBKL just tampal back hole poor skill/low class job after mainteance something in road making road unbalance/not prefect anymore.
free parking in side road parking bay,DBKl suck ppl money for nothing...why we should pay for parking outside front our own shop?
improve our public transport,as i know our public still behind SG maybe SG is small country easy to control...stop itor complaint our country too big,u only need improve ur public transport work in klang valley only,i still cant see any different,still poor,many place yet fully cover.and toilet matter...too dirty for pay toilet in public.pls improve it b4 u ask for money for maintenance fee, entry rm0.50 per person...

migrate to shanghai

monetary aside, the one thing i really enjoy about driving in msia is that speed limit is ONLY a "reference".
Been living in aus for a couple of years, if u r caught speeding, u may lose your license for 6 months/1 year.
Been back here for a year now and havent got any speeding fine despite the fact i speed a couple of times a week. (mainly on highways and when there is not many cars ) Most of them 170-180. haha
From a car enthusiast point of view, it is more enjoyable to drive a car here. But of cos speeding and endangering others is not exactly right either :damnmate:

 

[mustang125]

exactly true,ppl r so proud there..1 day wil dig their own graveyard.wait n c...majority FOREIGNERS r there,no class 1.earn SGD ..cum mas pay MYR,go for massage la,car wash la,eat la,drink la,buy petrol la..if ur so proud of ur country,bite da bullets n pay up.country like robot oni..damn

Be content with what you have and compare to none other than yourself. Life is short and beautiful, enjoy your journey.

[MrPenghulu]

you should be lucky that sport bikes in Singapore is so damn cheap.

 

[Izso]

Considering Sg has two Pagani Zonda Cinque's... I dunno how "lucky" Malaysians are in comparison. I don't think we even have one here.

we can only have SINKI,a lot of SINKI rather than a CINQUE

 

[SundayDriver]

[whatsiam]

dollar for dollar its better if you stay in singapore. its actually cheaper there. petrol on 2.19 for ron 98.

so it is cheaper there.

but of course unless you cannot count, then welcome to Malaysia

 

[zane_al]

Honestly can't find anything interesting in SG...Taiwan yes.

Go to Hertz or any good reputation car renting company, tell them what car you like and nego for a long term renting contract. Maybe can arrange driver every time you wanna pass the border at additional cost. Or, find a Malaysian girl friend.
