Malaysian petrol prices could go up by 15 cents if government approves proposal

[hanhng]

In Malaysia we suffer from inflation which continuously increase annually and government seem doing nothing on cutting it down and beside, they want us, their people to share the heavy burden, as the wealth gap between people in Malaysia is significantly difference, some people might not even have 3 meals per day. And government still, playing around with their stupid trick. Keep it on, 20years after Malaysia will become one of the most backward country in Southeast Asia, good luck.:stupid:

actualy...i dun think many ppl here really enjoy the fruits of subsidies.

all the taxes involved when buying a car here already increases the car price by about 100%(rough estimates as not all cars are equally taxed). even our local cars are taxed in the form of excise taxes.

lets say we get subsidised rm1 per litre of fuel and the average joe will use about 300litres of fuel each month = rm300 worth of subsidies each month then times by the no of months in a year = RM3600/year that the gomen is subsidising per person on avg. lets say u use the car for 10 year which will bring it to a total of about rm36000 worth of subsidies per person for the lifetime of that car. lets say this person bought a vios. outside untaxed price is about rm45k. top of the line vios here will be about rm90k??(not sure) so up front when u put a downpayment, u r already paying about 40k worth of taxes to the gomen. so now...lets imagine if they remove all of the subsidies from fuel but make no other changes to the tax structure linked to everything fuel dependant what will happen?

all these assumptions are basically just that. nobody knows how much the total real subsidies being given by the gomen. does anybody really know? nothing is transparent here. when they say their deficit is growing, we take their word for it...but there is not yearly financial statement on where n when the money is being used and for what. we just take their word for it. does anybody know how much the PLUS hiway really costs and how much they are making from toll collections? does anybody knows how much petronas is making annually and how many barrels of oil they sell annually at what rates?

like i said before. take away ALL the subsidies. but better make sure we know where the money goes. dont just waste another 60million(reportedly) on winning another hulu selangor!

actualy thestar also published this report...in today's release. exactly same info. it isnt the news portal thats childish...its the fault of the policy itself. i'm not an economist or statistician but i think everybody can see that a lot of the things they say just dont make sense. i personally think if they were more transparent on the real situation of our country's financial status, maybe ppl will start believing but until i see a yearly financial report, nothing makes sense to their policies. till then i still continue using ron97 on my old car that cant use ron95 and hope it doenst die off on me cos i sure as hell cant afford a new car hahahah

No qualms with removing the subsidies. Higher petrol=reduced traffic=more frequent public transport (I hope). At least we're not subsiding it for foreigners and the rich as well.

But like what weikeat90 mentioned, I hope the saved monies are put to good use and not a means to increase someones' pocket.

we just can hope..
if the petrol price hike again, i would downgrade to 1000cc car after this..
smaller car with smaller boot..
the higher authority will not understand 100% about the problem arise if the petrol price increase.
they just know about it but have no idea how hard we live because of it..
Petronas FP1, 1 malaysia f1..all of the project is just a waste for me..

take ir easy friends ,
i understand ur concern n ur feeling , i am also one of you all ..... i agree if can gov be transparent on everything , but sometimes what we wish not easy to get it ....nowdays rakyat are more smarter than last time ....more plp know how to calculate , but for my point of view they should increase Rakyat Salary ....open tender for Gov project and not just specifity for some plp only ....when tender been done , look on whos the director of company izzit one of Gov plp or Rakyat ?
not easy .... i know there is alot of corruption case in Gov , i take an example : recently about Cameron Highland land , old stories about the MRR2 bridge ( kepong ). i just take 2 example ...i got alot of example but i shouldnt voice up ...sometimes we as a voter hope our voice can be heard by leader , look on it seriously ?act before its too late ? plp said "prevent better then cure" .

[picks]

all the time the government is talking about reducing subsidies, cutting subsidies, like the people is just burdening them, but why don't just reduce wastage, reduce unnecessary spendings. getting tired of listening to all these bullshits.

 

[WJL8229]

[imhotep]

here got any 1 working in Gov ? ...later got gold finger cucuk belakang nanti semua masuk balai cos of ISA...hahahaha

no worries..it's a fact..for me if G want to cut 100% fuel subsidies also can..as long as the money goes to right person and the person manage to do a right thing..anyway before increase anything, please manage to support our bloody public transport 1st..and also at least pls look back on our vehicles tax structure..bloody high..!!

"as per jerry tan said :
1) 70% excise tax value to the car
2) 10% sales tax
3) 25% import tax (except Proton, Perodua & Naza)
4) road tax
5) Licence
6) toll
"

[arturo]

relax imhotep...

seems like a lot of ppl making noise about this. more n more ppl are demanding to KNOW where will these savings go and it seems the gomen is a little worried n now they said will still continue to subsidise fuel,sugar n rice...seems like they did some calculating n think that subsidising will still make them more money then throwing it all out n being transparent heheheh

i believe nobody would mind having these subsidies removed...but everybody wants to know how the $$$ is spent. 2billion saved ar? ever drived down to Johor? every weekend when i driving down from mlk to johor...will jam after machap to kulai cos too many cars on a 2 lane hiway.wheres the improvement ler? busses in mlk n johor still privately owned...so they dun need the $$$ from gomen...what sort of public transportation they provide from the saved 2bil? i really dun see it. can some1 show me? the almighty google cant show me how our gomen spending our money.

proof that we should not just take their word of mouth literally...

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2010/6/1/nation/6374905&sec=nation

main points...

• Malaysia’s economic outlook is positive, as two-digit growth was registered for the first quarter of this year;

• Malaysia’s budget situation will substantially improve over the next few years because the economy is growing;

• Malaysia’s very prudent financial management and tight monetary policies do not allow for dubious cross country swaps like what happened in Greece, further aggravating its debt situation;

• Malaysia is not caught in the euro capsule like Greece. “We have our own money and therefore can deal and manage our costs and prices”;

• Malaysia enjoys a high saving rate. The Employees’ Provident Fund has accumulated savings of RM360bil as at Dec 31, 2009; (remember the failed investment that the government made using our EPF $$$? now u all know why they can afford to keep making stupid investments and not worry about the repercussions...)

• Malaysia’s abundant resources and diversified economy are reinforcing factors that guarantees the country will not plunge into bankruptcy.

i dont understand how they can akin us to Greece... maybe they think we're not able to think. all these while everybody already knew that our situation is not like Greece...but no way of making sense of the numbers...well here it is. from the mouth of somebody who knows that they're saying.
