NST :SYED NADZRI: Fuel subsidies: Loaded, unloaded?

I want to see how they implement that.

Costs to make sure this happens will churn out another 40 Billion.

And Diesel is gaining its popularity as the fuel for the rich (Merc, Audi, BMWs)(might as well increase the diesel price)

I dont think our BMWs fuel consumption is lower compare to

1) Wiralution
2) RX7 Rotary (its only 1.3 mah)
3) Kancil that goes psssh... psssh... psssh.. most of the time

 

[izuaff]

just ban those kancils, bloody death trap.

From the New York Times, Automobiles Section.


"Malaysians, however, don’t have an easy time indulging their automotive desires, and are more often spectators than participants. The biggest hurdle is the country’s per person purchasing power parity, which was $12,900 in 2006 compared with $44,000 in the United States. Basic transportation like the Proton Persona sedan costs about $14,000, about the same as a Mazda 3 in the United States, but takes a higher percentage of the average income. Step up to, say, a BMW 325i and the base price is more than $87,650 in Malaysia versus the equivalent model, the 328i, at $33,175 in the United States."
