my friend lets be realistic, how many times have you heard this same story repeated and repeated at every general election like a bloody broken record.

expect nothing, save that money if you really want and that's it.

dont' tell me you gonna wait another 5 years ??

Even with such high taxes, car sales are still record upon record year, there is no real pressure on the gomen to reduce prices, with the new MRT and LRT it's even more reason to keep it high to ensure people will use the public transport,

another point to consider, there are major assembly plants in malaysia simply because to get cheaper tax assembling cars here

but if CBU cars were as cheap, then whats the point of keeping the assembly plants operating, might as well close it. so even more people are affected, jobs, suppliers, supply chains

yes but lower costs allow them to offer lower pricings even if taxes are the same.

but if you were given a ckd and cbu at same price, knowing our local quality i will choose cbu always.
