A heart-wrenching video recently posted on TikTok has struck a chord with many, especially among car enthusiasts, as it captured the emotional moment when a husband had to part ways with his beloved vehicle. The video, shared by a user, showcased the bittersweet reality of car ownership in Singapore.

"My husband had to let go of his car today," the woman in the video shared. "It breaks my heart to see him cry. But this is the reality of owning a car in Singapore."

For those unfamiliar with Singapore's strict car ownership regulations, vehicles in the city-state are only allowed on the road for 10 years unless their Certificate of Entitlement (COE) is renewed a costly process. This system, aimed at controlling the number of cars on the road, often forces car owners to give up their vehicles once the decade-long period ends, unless they are willing to pay hefty fees.

The emotional video resonated deeply with viewers, and the comments section was flooded with support from people who had gone through similar experiences.

One netizen shared, "I can feel the bros pain. I had to let go of my 2004 Acura TSX, and I cried for days because it was the first car I bought with my own money."

Another user explained Singapore's car ownership dilemma, saying, "In SG, you cant keep your car for more than 10 years unless you pay SGD$100k for a pink slip and other taxes too."

The car's departure wasn't just a personal loss but also a reflection of the financial burden many Singaporeans face when trying to keep their vehicles.
