Car ownership costs in Singapore increase as Certificate of Entitlement (COE) premiums rise across categories in the latest bidding exercise. Category A reaches a record high of S$133,009, according to both outlets reporting the figures.
Channel NewsAsia reports that Category A premiums close at S$133,009, up S$4,508 from the previous bidding exercise. The Straits Times similarly notes that Category A hits an all-time high of S$133,009, and adds that premiums across the board move upward. It reports Category B rises 3.1% from the prior exercise to S$135,001.
Together, the coverage indicates a broad-based increase, with Category A setting the highest new benchmark among the categories mentioned. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis: CNA foregrounds the Category A record and its absolute and incremental change, while The Straits Times also highlights the concurrent Category B increase and the overall “across the board” direction.
