Ride a bus, take the train and win a Car! huh?

This is one of the silliest contest i've ever come acrossed
----------------------------------
Ride the bus or train - and you might win a car!!
TO REWARD its bus and train commuters, transport company SMRT is
planning to give away a car.

A Nissan March - minus certificate of entitlement, insurance and road
tax - to be exact. It is the top prize in SMRT's inaugural
Ride-for-Free Countdown promotion

Launched yesterday, the promotion is on till April 11 next year.
Commuters who make adult-fare trips on SMRT trains, buses and the
Bukit Panjang Light Rail Transit (LRT) will have the numbers on their
ez-link cards automatically entered into mini-draws. These draws will
be held fortnightly at 1pm.

Eight winners from each draw will win 88 days of free travel on SMRT
buses, trains and the Bukit Panjang LRT.

The promotion ends in a grand draw on April 23, with the Nissan March
as the top prize. Consolation prizes of a year's free travel on SMRT
transport will be given to eight commuters.

SMRT chief executive Saw Phaik Hwa said the promotion was to reward
existing commuters and to encourage people to travel on SMRT's buses
and trains.

But why offer a car as the top prize? Ms Saw said: 'According to a
recent survey, a car is one of Singaporeans' most desired possessions.
So here, we'll be fulfilling someone's dream.'

-----------------------

Ok so this is to reward exisiting commuters and encourage people to
travel on SMRT's buses and trains. and you're giving out a car?? A
CAR??

Hello??

So typical of Singapore GLC : NGEOW ! Give car as prize but no COE.

If I win the Nissan March, I'd scrap the damn thing and pocket the cash just to spite the organisers.
