actually its good to enforce all old cars for inspection for safety reason as u can see some old cars, perhaps more than 30 years old still driving on the road but they r not the well maintained antique car, they are "moving scrap metal"...

* To promote prudent spending, a service charge of RM50 a year to be imposed on each principal credit card and charge card; and RM25 a year on each supplementary card, effective from Jan 1, 2010.

-> Need to start canceling all my idle credit cards.. consolidate all my auto bill payment to one card.
-> in short, no more free credit card anymore. minimum service charge of RM50 applies to all cards, including no annual fee credit card.
-> poor credit card salesman will have hard time getting new people to sign up for credit cards..
* To ensure that fuel subsidies only benefit targeted groups, Govt will implement a fuel subsidy management system in early 2010, which will utilise the MyKad.

--> this sounds bad..
Well, I don't see any thing much that benefit the low to middle income group.

Only in theory actually.. most people probably won't give a damn and continue driving without rt. Given the record for lack of enforcement from JPJ, a rule like this is only gonna make the situation worse in the long run.

Oh well, lets see what the "new" gomen's policy will be after next general election

Yes, i agree with you, that no much benefit for the low to middle income normal citizens.

Annual mandatory roadworthiness inspections will be required for vehicles more than 15 yrs. More kopi-o opportunities for JPJ or their agent. Road tax renewal will only be allowed if the vehicles are proved to be road worthy. Might be a computerised system similar to car insurance.

This policy is similar as the one in New Zealand where all type of cars are required to be certified to be road worthy before registration can be renewed.

well good to have inspection yearly but the gomen going to ban used parts means old car cant find spareparts liao ..all kedai potong going to close down..at dat time gomen sure will ask rakyat to buy p1 coz of easily available parts etc..when youre driving you see around you how many cars oredi >15yrs old???????????????????? alot le.........dis going to burden the poor some more....

The bank should do some promotion or come out with a good hell of a plan to attract more customers.
For example, They can absorb the RM 50 thingy on Principal card and RM 25 on supplementary card if only we spend how much per year or how much per month. People like "free stuff".

I would think the probability of banks absorbing the Rm50 service tax is high. Bare in mind the Rm50 tax is not something new, it had been there before 2001, but banks do absorb it back then. So it could be the same this time as well. But most people never complain back then, nor knowing its existence.

isn't that the GOV doesn't allow bank to absorb RM50 service charge?

ya, in fact one of my cars is 10 years old liao, so i m free from inspection for another 5 years but my concern is how much to pay for inspection per year, that's addition expenses from us who can't afford to change new car  also very troublesome coz will need to take 1 day leave to do this stupid job, 1 day leave is money too!
