Don't think the government would force everyone to scrap their cars once its a decade old. That would be INSANE to say the least. Even in Singapore, its optional...owners can choose to renew COE and continue to use the vehicle. If its voluntary then its not too bad an idea. But then again, before the policy is workable, car prices have to come down. Imagine if you had bought a Honda Civic in 1996, pay almost 90k...and the second hand value is still in the region of 40-50k, would you scrap it for 5k?? But if you had bought it for say 50k, then you can choose either export it (if its good condition like those Singaporean cars) or scrap it.  The government has been living under illussion for a long time, when the time comes for correction, it will be a painful process. Similarly for other policies as well, we are still arguing about religion, special rights, government positions (chief minister and such) and etc, when other countries are moving towards globalisation. *sigh*</blockquote>
