During the bidding exercise, bidders can check on the status of their bids and revise their reserve price using these banks’ services, the LTA Open Bidding website, or by calling the LTA Open Bidding Phone System at telephone number: 6362 1465.

Members of the public can check the current COE price on the One.motoring website (https://glutenfreepleasure.com/__proxy_domain/www.onemotoring.com.sg) or on Teletext (Channel News Asia pages 521-523).

Although the COE Open Bidding System has been designed to handle large numbers of bids, transmission of bid data through the system could be delayed by external factors. Hence, members of the public are advised to bid early, as the system will only process bid submissions or reserve price revisions that reach the processing system before the closing time at 4.00 pm, 19 December 2012.

Bid data that is sent to the processing system at the last minute, but fails to reach the system before the closing time will not be processed.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
