SINGAPORE : It could soon be cheaper for Malaysian cars to drive
down into Singapore.
The government is currently reviewing regulations on this, in a bid
to encourage more visitors, says Trade & Industry Minister Lim
Hng Kiang at the Singapore-Malaysia forum.
Besides increasing passenger flow on the ground, it's also looking
to boost air links with more low cost carriers.
The Land Transport Authority has already reduced the costs of
vehicle entry permits by ten dollars earlier this month while toll
charges at the Causeway and Second Link remain unchanged.
Currently, foreign-registered vehicles pay tolls of between 50
cents to $14.50 when entering Singapore.
"We are reviewing all this because conditions have changed. Car
prices have moved, so how we adjust the fees in relation to all
these changes is something we have to look at. We want to encourage
more Malaysians to visit Singapore and the most practical way they
come is by car. We're also hoping to faciliate more low cost
carriers, so we are looking at all these areas," said Trade and
Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang.
