The very bad combination of expensive public transport which is not comparable in quality to Singapore and cheap cars will lead to bad situation of people buying cars and polluting the environment.

That is a good thing. It helps to deter people who don't really need a car to take public transport.

Pollution and congestion will cause our quality of life to decline.

I am not going to argue on the ownership of cars, in fact I agree with your reasoning not to have many cars on our roads, which will increase our carbon footprints...As our MRT lines cover most of the island, and with many buses plying our roads, I am happy to travel by public transport....

Aust cheaper. A car is like a handphone.

If can self control, actually both are identical.
