Yes, gov is discouraging new hire of foreigner fesh grad unless you have special skills in demand. You need some experience to stand a higher chance.

Just keep trying at private sector.

what's you qualification ?

This MIGHT BE good for those who already have a car for family and personal used, the $450 can supplement the montly expenses.

Assumed you already have own car, so exclude tax, parking, insurance etc:

some sales people can clock 5000km or more per month.

Say your car can run at best 14km/l, that's 360L of petrol.

Say you buy cheap RON 92 (take it as $2/L) , that's $2 x 360 x 15% discount(if you have) =  $612

every 10k you service your car once, say cheap cheap type $100, that's $50/month

say your tyre last you 40,000km, cheap cheap 4x $100/pc, that's  $50/month

Just these extra running cost item alone cost you $712 / month.

$450 you get is not much unless your cut on the sales is really good to offset the difference.
cost of car dont have to be 80k lah... this will do
