Road tax/insurance and the other paperwork needed to get a foreign car onto Singapo's roads is another.
On top of that, I have heard (cannot quote regulations - others may search and confirm) that PRs are not at all allowed to drive a foreign car in Singapore, even if that car is legally here, they have the right driving license and Singaporeans/non-PRs under the same circumstances are allowed to drive that car. This is to prevent PRs from registering a car elsewhere (e.g. Malaysia) and using it in Singapore regularly to avoid the high taxes/other costs (COE).
I posted a reply to QRM about this matter years ago. I am correcting the perception about this matter. Yes, you can drive a Malaysian car by a Singaporean or SPR under the Road Traffic Act Section 11(1)(a) Cap 1976 and section 12(1) of the same act. There is a form " Application to drive a Malaysian registered in Singapore by a SGer or SPR" which you need to apply at LTA.ecureilx wrote:I wrote about the PR - owning Malaysian car thing on another thread.beppi wrote:This (the driving license) is one aspect of the topic.

Singapore law don't allow it.
Not a rumour, but true, and I can refer enough Malaysians, who live in JB, but drive to Singapore in Singapore registered cars, for the above reason.
And, if at all, the govt forgot about that, the daily toll for Malaysian cars will make anybody sane to wonder why he wants to sneak in a Malaysian car into Singapore ..
