the first thing is to change the car ROAD TAX structure.

before this the reason of high roadtax for large engine capacity is the fuel subsidy.

so now i expect ther goveernment to put a common roadtax price. i dont care if i dont have petrol subsidy but i want my car road tax to be SENSIBLE!

800+ ringgit yearly for 2500cc is not cheap. make it RM100 & i'll be happy.

insurance? for me the sum is bearable.

maybe going OT but change the insurance to follow the UK system. insurance is on the individual or driver not the vehicle.

yes, i cough up the doe to drive a 2500cc vehicle in paying the monthly installment, roadtax & insurance.
i dont mind the subsidy @ paying RM1.80 for those who deserve it. hey who dont want subsidy right.

the government states that larger engine capacity have to pay more roadtax because the petrol is subsidized. if the government want to reduce or abolish the subsidy then a common roadtax should be applied to all vehicle regardless or CC then it will be fair.

well thats just my opnion.

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?

well this is a speculation told by my friend,

subsidy will be given to only the owner of vehicle having less than 2000cc. owner of vehicle having cc range from 1501 to 2000cc is entitled for half subsidy . owner of 1500cc & below vehicle entitled for full subsidy.

i don't know how that works in term of final pump price but the speculation is that only the owner of the vehicle will get the subsidy by registering with relevant goverment agency or ministry so it will be put in his or her MyKad.

people without any vehicle that is eligible for subsidy under their name wont get the subsidy.

e.g a father own a perodua myvi, only he is eligible for subsidy using his mykad. so his sons,daughters or anybody else cannot get the subsidy unless they bring along the father mykad to petrol pump.

this sounds interesting. any other speculation on how the new subsidy structure works you guys heard?

so it works like this right?

1. pay money at the counter
2. before pump insert mykad at the terminal
3. then only the subsidy will be given.


if father own sons vios & daughter myvi they have to pay full price for petrol since i doubt the father will lend his mykad to them.

got lah sons or daughter & parent using the same car. my colleague bought two myvis for herself & her dad. lol

anyway i don't oppose subsidy but in my opinion the road tax must be equal regardless of engine displacement since there is no more subsidy for big displacement @ cc vehicle. let say RM100 for any vehicle or any amount that is deemed reasonable.

if im using a 3000cc or >9000cc vehicle i pay the full price for petrol. what is there to lose for those with subsidy? i dont take your subsidy right?
