Need washabushi MacKiddo or Fiona Chin to confirm since they are the only Malaysians I know who own cars in SG, but ...

... what happens if you get into an accident? I imagine you wouldn't have any insurance cover at all.

So behave like China... still want to eat ramen but don't want to queue up?

Happens everywhere lah... in cities where the density is high and demand > supply.

Just look at Din Tai Fung... from their native Taiwan to SG and HK... always a big long queue during makan time.

My observation... this type of queuing happens in a public transport dependent city. Let's say you organise all your pakcik makcik, take an hour's walking, bus & MRT to get to the restaurant... and it happens to be crowded. What do you do? Walk away and come back another day? And eat at some other makan place that nobody wanted to go to in the first place? If you look for another desirable place to eat... it probably involves another hour of walking, bus & MRT? And no guarantees that there's no queue...

So once you're there... you feel committed already from all the time & public transport discomfort it took you to reach there.

Whereas in KL, if this shop got a lot of people, just get back into your car and drive to another nice shop to eat. And your car is just parked (illegally) in the street nearby. Singapore must park in HDB car park, or shopping center basement - and it probably took you a long time to find parking... so you really don't want to give it up after you park. Committed again.

Well, if it is not worth it don't take it.. No point taking it then have tonnes of headache..
For critical illness.. Yes
