I don't understand this. At all. Are people forced to buy cars every 5 years?

No, the majority of people use something a lot of Americans struggle with "Public transport".
The MRT and bus system in Singapore is great for getting around to the point that you don't need a car, but if you Want one it must be new and you have to pay for a license as road space and parking space are physically limited.
Ah, then that comment is just silly.
Singapore is a small and dense island, poor people fare better without cars there. Cars are very expensive, even old, beat up cars. They're either expensive for the owner or for society or both.
