#678: Backlash for Jeffrey Siow’s COE Comments & Petition for Restaurants to Offer Free Water


Listen Later

Acting Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow defended the COE system, saying it “is not broken” and that defended allocating COEs to private-hire vehicles (PHVs) because it benefits a wider pool of Singaporeans compared to private car ownership. But is that fair or elitist? Meanwhile, 2,100 people have signed a petition for F&B outlets to provide free tap water, something echoed by WP’s Gerald Giam.
