Ya, agree with you arturo. But usually politician will talk nice and BIG deal before GE and after that, no more news on this. :sleep:

 

[YYC]

After the erection they will tell you cannot reduce because some twitchy reasons or excuse la.. you know they just kicked the Australian MP out.

 

[Neo_]

just enjoy the benefits ... lol

 

[devious17]

but isnt it the umno/bn had said before that Pakatan's proposal on the same strategy (actually ciplak strategy from Pakatan) will bankrupt the country and that it cannot work? aparaaa.....umno/bn ketandusan ilham sehingga terpaksa mencuri dari pakatan sedangkan sekian lama tak terfikir pun nak turunkan cukai ini.

Are Majority of Malaysians Stupid?

Read this: Car duties from Japan, Australia to be reduced - MITI

I heard about it, a lot of people very excited (and stupid). It says car models originating from those 2 countries, if you learn to read between the lines, it means CBU, not CKD. Least Paul Tan's writers have more brain than majority of the masses.

1. CBU from Japan are stuff like Lexus, Nissan GTR, 370Z.. nothing that benefits the rakyat. Well, maybe the Honda CR-Z & Toyota Prius. The Vios, the City, Jazz, Jazz Hybrid, Camry, Altis, Civic, Accord are all CKD, so, no benefits!
2. CBU from Australia, since when?

This announcement has 0 benefit for us, the rakyat. It make cars cheaper for rich people and the cronies. Not the masses. Yes, a Nissan GTR at RM300k is cheaper than what it is right now, but that's a luxury not a necessity.

This normally happens when the election is around the corner. Both BN and Pakatan promises a thousand things, but after the election less than 10% of them will be realised...

 

[arturo]

ixeo...u just proved they're smarter than us...

issue a press release which pumps "feel good" hormones but then is actually for the rich and privileged.

thanks for highlighting this point. didn't notice it at all.

As always, there are a few types of taxes imposed on an import car, they will advertise reducing the tax of a vehicle, but sneakily raising the other tax for other areas, so in the end the tax reduction is still a JOKE.

Do you guys know with Minimal, i won't say NO tax since that would be unrealistic . with MINIMAL tax, all you MYVI drivers can upgrade to Honda Civic 2.0 to put things into perspective.

Cheers, just my humble 2 cents.

It's been mentioned over n over again for d past maybe 3-4 yrs but absolutely nothing has been done about it...so??F**K it!!!

 

[YYC]

I have been thinking, how will we choose between cheap car high fuel price and expensive car low fuel price. Yes we all like cheap car cheap fuel but forget about that for the moment.

 

[Neo_]

but my serious opinion in this matter is . before they government even think of reducing car prices and petrol prices.
they should improve public transportation . or else,we will b stuck in jam like our neighbouring countries.. go to work by car 3-4 hours .. damn !

Is this the car we imported from Australia?

Toyota Aurion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yes, n here we call it Camry.. (i prefer the Japanese or American model even the both share the same shell n body n chassis)

yea.. i was thinking the same thing.. what car we imported from Aussie? Holden?

 

[BLaCkHoWLiNG]

just lower d damn road tax renewal fees!

 

[kcng]

all those talk about improving public transport but end up those calling for an improve public transport (even if it is improved to world class level) will still end up driving their cars everywhere...


typical of selfish/self centered thinking... improve public transport so others can use it while i will drive mentality..

back to square one right?
:stupid:
