really? that's weird    should be cheaper lor 

made in malaysia bro...we export them
our rubber are world class..so those tyre maker chose to make them here...hence the cheap price of the tyre that we're paying
if its imported...it would cost more than RM200/tyre+-
continental is a good choice

The strange thing about weakening Ringgit, I thought I would see imported stuff from Malaysia will go down in prices but I haven't seen that yet.  For example, no drop in Durians price in Singapore.

ah... thanks for info.
i will check this local-imported thingy.
sometimes, local stuff can cost more!

I think middle men pocket the difference. That's why sometimes, better for me to take weekend trip to JB.
I can get more Ringgit from SGD or USD and buy the same stuff cheaper than way.

Father Day in two weeks time, another feast out coming. 

i've seen those made in japan/made in thailand tyres before...it will be stated on the side of the tyre
it cost double of what we usually paid for
quality should be the same since rubber also came from malaysia anyway

u r right, i just checked.

for my car, local continental rm216, bridgestone thailand rm243.

buy local
i trust local rubber better and its somewhat also newer

for that... yen, sgd, tbh also not bad.

5pm, usd... 3.772. lost 1.4% in 1 day.

no intervention by bank negara?

ECB paper finds that weaker currency does not boost exports

could the same logic apply to Malaysia? 

Europe economy is not export orientated so the effect of weaker currency boosting the export is not significant.

Malaysia is vulnerable to outflows spurred by higher U.S. interest rates as central bank data show global funds hold 32 percent of the nation’s government bonds, compared with 18 percent for Thailand. Overseas investors sold a net 2.5 billion ringgit ($663 million) of the nation’s shares last month, stock exchange data show.

So far, the currency declines have been benign in most of the developing countries. While the average 30 percent drop in emerging-market currencies since early 2011 has failed to boost exports and growth, it helped cut imports and narrow current- account deficits in the economies of Turkey and India among others.

As of April, overseas investors held an average 30.5 percent of local-currency bonds in the 10 largest emerging markets, compared with the all-time high of 31.2 percent in January, according to Credit Suisse Group AG. Malaysia has the highest foreign ownership with 47 percent, followed by 39 percent in Poland and 38.5 percent in Indonesia.

Capital outflows have already started. Investors pulled $577.7 million from U.S. exchange-traded funds that invest in emerging markets last week, the first outflow in almost three months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Lower Ringgit is good for the Malaysia (as exporters of manufactured products).

"The point is why we didn’t think of this earlier, i.e. depreciate our ringgit earlier to get the perceived benefits."
