LRT?

before this petrol (ron97) was subsidized & sold to anyone at the same price regardless how much your income is. thus having a bigger cc vehicle which is more expensive is subjected to a higher roadtax is acceptable.

a common roadtax price is logical. if the individual have the means go on use lah a 5000cc vehicle & buy ron97++ grade petrol.

plus until when should we survive on subsidy mentality?

the double rail track from penang to ipoh managed by MMC-Gamuda JV? news said they will need to increase the budget and delay completion date...
klang railway transit? until now the project have not tendered out yet... news said tender will be 2half of this year but the project have been spoken for 1 year oledi
and thats y the government is spending more that required, this is budget deficit due to poor financial management...
budget deficit occur than the last choice is to rake as much as possible from the rakyat...
lastly rakyat suffer...

Land acquisition is the no.1 problem.

It's not much about the pace of construction, but it is the land acquisition for double track.

i see sad singaporean ppl soon

You pay half year road tax-ka? Or you living in Langkawi?

Now the rich will use driver to buy petrol, then can pay 1.80. Btw, ministers are govt servant, so they will pay less even if driving S-class or 7-series including the sports cars and Type-Rs that their children drive.. We pay their salaries and their petrol too...why we so smart elect these fat cats, year in, year out?

mazda rx-8 macam mana?

Drive kancil, but refill manyak kali...and masuk tong also.

Then go backhome tuang fuel into mercedez.

win?

Singaporeans are paying SGD1.65 for RON95 while having their average salary at SGD2000 a month.

They still have more spending power

U haz the win.

Btw, RM 2.10/liter is for RON95 or RON97??

actually then can save further by buying a 'weekend' vehicle and use MRT for daily transport.

Well, lets put it this way... Once the sub is being removed they should reduce taxes. Once the taxes are reduced, things will be cheaper. We have are one the the highest in taxes if not the highest in the world.

unsubsidised petrol for the moment is 2.10 for RON95...

remove subsidy, can

but at least improve d public transport

there is no way to compromise all the rakyat unless offer alternative to them. (which is better public transport)

you forgot to mention good public transport....that's important....

no, most likely it's a limited amount of subsidy to prevent exactly this, say 200 litres which for an average 1.6cc 50 litre tank is 4 times per month which maybe once a week.

it's not completely ironed out yet i guess.

in theory it would but the thing is in malaysia somehow a precedence has been set that prices of goods is tied directly to the price of petrol, i guess it's the sellers that created that effect through hawker food and stuff like that, so to the people it still seems the price of things go up anyways. then it's a knock on effect that continues.

eh..
fuel price up??

how much 1 liter for my target car, satria neo IAFM 1.6?

Removal of Sub and reduction of taxes should be done simultaneously to reduce the impact. The scenario now is that petrol $$$ has been made the scapegoat for increase of expenses here. If the sub were to remove, there will be effect but it will be once or twice but not everytime when the gov increase the $$$ of petrol if it is still sub. If the $$$ goes up we pay but if the $$$ comes down we saved. There are just too much grey area on how much $$$ was actually spent on the sub. I will quote Spore and OZ as an example where I dun c their food $$$ fluctuate like ours. Seriously, I think there is some serious problem in our economy plan...
