SINGAPORE – The Category A certificate of entitlement (COE) used to be around $30,000 lower than Category B COE – a price gap which suitably separated mass-market car buyers from premium or luxury consumers.
But today, the gap is nearly half of that, thanks to a flurry of car models which have been tuned to meet Category A's power cap. Nearly all electric cars in Singapore have a Category A variant.

It's a contract role, not permanent. Employers are increasingly offering fixed-term contracts instead of permanent roles.
