A new COE policy for cars & motorbikes | Coffee & Whiskey with Ivy S2E13

On LTA cutting the growth of Certificate of Entitlement (COEs), the Gentle Warrior suggests relooking the policy and gives her take on her own version of the policy.

On opening the Istana to the public, Ivy is all for opening the sprawling grounds to the people and suggests possibly having farmers' market in there. She is also puzzled at the news that Singapore has the best pension system in Asia.

And finally, as we head towards the end of the year, Ivy leaves us with two thinking pieces and sincerely asks all of us if we're doing our best to make the world we live in a better place for all.

"The purpose is not to look for money to grow rich. We are not planning to do a stock listing! But to make a living with a reasonable margin." - Mother Pascale

"We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes." - John Swinton
