From Channel NewsAsia:

PM Lee Hsien Loong:

“If MM (Minister Mentor) had his druthers when it comes to the COEs and ERP and so on, he would say, ‘forget about the ERP, just squeeze on the COEs; don’t let them buy cars; no cars, they can’t complain. Have the unhappiness once, done with it’.

“I say, ‘they all want cars, let them own the cars and we will put the gantry up; beep, beep, beep, they get angry, never mind. But at least they get the car’.”
