It's in Singapore, so I'm not surprised.

A business colleague of mine lives in Singapore and paid $100,000 for a driver's license. This doesn't include the 100% tax on the car and the black box that he needs to have in the car at all times (If he travels to certain areas of the city, he pays a tax).

To get a license you pay into a lottery system and are randomly picked. You don't get the money back.
