What’s the point of “Made in Singapore” when it retails at or above what PI are bringing in the car for?

Malaysia has CKD cars and consumers get to enjoy discounts off CBU counterparts. Win-win for dealers and consumers.

Here, what does consumers stand to gain for first made in SG EVs?
Nothing to be proud of sadly.
