DAP Sabah called on all
Malaysians to unite votes under Pakatan Rakyat for cheaper cars. DAP Sabah State
Assistant Secretary, Junz Wong said Pakatan Rakyat has recently made an
electoral pledge to slash the hefty excise duties and taxes on cars.
Junz explained, Malaysians
are bearing some of the highest car prices in the world. We are paying the
duties between 65% - 105% on cars we buy on top of 10% in sales tax, which was
among the highest in the world.
This also meant when
Malaysian bought a car at RM100,000, as much as RM55,000 went to Putrajaya.
The money should be in the
hands of Rakyat instead of the government and they should decide on how the
money should be spent, said Junz.
Junz Wong who is also the
DAPSY KK Assistant Youth Chief added, "To have cheaper cars also means
Rakyat will have higher household disposal income, more purchasing power."
"Can you imagine the
excise duties and taxes on cars, which has resulted to approximately 20% of
total household debts in the country, be reduced?"
Junz said that this would
lead to more real cash for consumers to spend, which would have some
stimulating effect on the economy.
Apart from the duties cut,
Pakatan Rakyat has also promised to rationalize the System of APs, which is
given to a few selected companies and car importers, allowing to bring in cars
and charge up to RM40,000 for the permit to the customer.
This will make the cars even
cheaper when the monopolistic AP license system is abolished. Junz concluded

kurangkan harga kereta.
ReplyDeleteKasi kurang harga kereta pun ok juga.
DeleteKurangkan tax pasti semakin bertambah kenderaan
ReplyDeleteIf cannot reduce the car price, upgrade the quality of public transportation and roads.
ReplyDeleteAbolish the AP license system when it brings more disadvantages than the advantages.
ReplyDeleteHarga kereta di Malaysia sememangnya tinggi berbanding dengan negara jiran lain.
ReplyDeleteRevamp of the National Automotive Policy promised by the opposition, including reducing the price of vehicles, if it comes into power in the coming 13th General Election, has been dismissed as mere political rhetoric and a desperate act to win votes.
ReplyDeleteSabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said such a promise showed the opposition was desperate for votes as it realised that public support for the opposition was declining. The opposition will promise anything, including the sun and the moon.
ReplyDeleteThey sound as if they are the only parties looking after the welfare of the people. But the truth is, even in states they rule they have done nothing. They can't take care of the people.
ReplyDelete"The Barisan Nasional (BN) government has, instead, always been looking after the people's wellbeing and helping them, and all its policies are geared towards that. "In Sabah, for example, we have a good track record.
ReplyDeleteLook at Sabah today, it is rapidly developing. What BN promises, it fulfils," he said after attending a breaking-of-fast hosted by the Sabah Foundation, here.
ReplyDeleteMusa, who is also Sabah Umno Liaison Chief, said contrary to what the opposition had claimed, BN was always committed to giving the best services to the people.
ReplyDelete"Let the people judge for themselves as to who have really served the people and who have only indulged in empty talk. The people will know who are the real leaders and who are the bogus ones."
ReplyDeleteMusa said BN would continue to work hard and frequently go to the ground to solve the people's problems in the best way it could.
ReplyDeletePuteri Umno Chief, Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin, said she was not surprised that the opposition was making new sweet promises to hoodwink the people while forgetting the old promises made, hence these remained mere promises.
ReplyDelete"They are trying to show that they will be able to administer the country well. But they forget that they can't even solve the problems in the states they rule, what more national problems. Their idea is irrelevant and will only destroy the country.
ReplyDeleteThe opposition's idea came with sweet words to fool the people, but remember, the implication will be huge for the people and nation," she said, here.
ReplyDelete"Actually, they are jealous of BN's success. Because Proton is government-owned, they will attack it although they know Proton and Petronas have contributed a lot of revenue to the country," she said.
