of course, can! i've seen a lot of malaysians riding an F* plated bike back to JB. u can always double check at a local motorshop.

its cheaper to buy sg plate.. imagine $4 per day, 1wk = $20, 1yr =52wks = $1040!!!!

 

u ride 4-5yrs u can buy another kup.... lol...

 

$4 is for weekday only,weekend and public holiday are free,and 1 year got free 10 day for weekday .

hello bro, u lazy to calculate or ur maths fail? 1 wk 5 working days,4x5=$20!

 

ok, so 1 yr 10days free, plus typically spore got ard 11 PH/yr.. giv u heng heng all 11 PH falls on wkdays...

 

10 + 11 = 21days

21 x $4 = $84

 

$1040 - $84 = $956, the amount is still ard there.. 1k per yr if u wan pay VEP everyday

Just buy whatever when u like it. I'm a malaysian work permit holder too. If u stay in JB n do not intend to work long in Sg, recommend u to buy m'sia bike. Last time i ever rode a m'sia 125z, super tired to count the days n pay for VEP every week cuz need to clocking every 14 days. Yes. It's much more cheaper but not convenient. So, i bought a 2nd hand SP here n ride it for one year. Spent a lot. Finally sell it away for another scooter 'b-bone', for COE matter n 'amazing' insurance fee for sport bike.. No doubt that i spent a lot for this and i lost more than 2k for the SP and now 'debt' on b-bone. But as long as it's convenient to u and u feel that u like it, just go ahead. But in my thinking is, if u want to own a bike here, better is to choose a model that m'sia doesnt have any. so u wont compare it. like what i'm doing now.. lol..

u bought SP. of cos u spent a lot. lol.. but if u use singapore plate bike, do u have to pay VEP? im curious how come u think paying through VEP is cheaper for malaysians.

[m_ho]

singapore bikes no need to pay for VEP. It's only fee for foreign vehicle to enter SG. if u intend to live long here, sg bike is better. If only think to stay here for short term, better get a msia bike. For example, u intend to stay here not more than 3 years, vep one year around 1k for m'sia bikes, let say u ride a spark 135, RM 7k in msia include everything, one year insurance at most 300 bucks a year.

Total damage for 3 years is ((7000+(300x2))/2.3)+(1kx3)=SGD6300

A spark in sg already cost around 6k plus all insurance OTR for low age cat. One year insurance around 400 for only 3rd party. 400x3+k=SGD7200 and still a lot of lumsum to count. But if u ride it more than 5 years, u will get all back..

I lost a lot on SP cuz insurance damn high now. and COE problem in SG. So if u want to buy a vehicle, u must think very carefully. in addition, u must see whether wat purpose u want to buy. If u really need it, den must buy something that's convenient to u. If not, better dun, cuz vehicle always a lose money property. BMW in SG is very convenient nowadays. For me, i buy cuz i need to study at night. Time for taking public transport is not sufficient for me from my workplace to school. So need it. Btw, own a vehicle in sg is not easy actually. But it's really convinient cuz sg is small, with a bike u can go round in sg.. lol.. cheers for i bullshitting here....

you forgot to add one more thing. let's say even with insurance, should you get into a serious accident in singapore, an insurance with a singapore bike will make your life less troublesome than an insurance with a malaysia bike. as they always say, always avoid having an accident with malaysia vehicles in singapore. very hard to claim.

[m_ho]

yaya.. that's a terrible part. Expecially u bang with sg vehicle. Sure kena very jia lat2 de.. but touch wood la.. need safe riding in sg. Anyway, TO dun forget to get convert of ur license 1st b4 buying a sg bike. lol.. Take ur Basic Theory Test 1st = undang perangkutan. Correct me if spelling is wrong.. lol..
