PUTRAJAYA, Jan 8 – The mechanism for fuel pricing in Malaysia has finally been finalized and controlled under one mechanism, which also takes the high and lower income group people into consideration, according to Finance Trade Minister Tan Sri Anuar Ali.
“From May 1, the fuel will be pegged at RM3.90 per litre for RON97, while RON95 will increase to RM3.70 per litre. However, the prices of national-made vehicles will be lowered by at least 40%. For example, a full-spec family sedan Proton Persona 1.6litre engine will cost around RM23k excluding road tax and insurance. Import tax and excise duty will be revised to only 30%, from the current 200%. Imported vehicles such as the new Toyota Camry 2.4litre engine will cost around RM65k”, he said.
The mechanics has been said to be undertaken by a team of experts from Australia and Canada who were earlier briefed on the issue of subsidy in this country, whereas after consideration by the transport minister, they have signed the constitution that the system will be made on May 1, the day it goes into effect.
Under the new system, there will be a major effect on the existing consumers who have already purchased a vehicle and to those who are in the midst of repaying the loan of their vehicle to their financial institutions.
Ahmad Tajuddin said the government might also re-introduce a cash return annually to Malaysians who own a 1,500cc and below vehicle. The amount have yet to be decided but he assured that the amount will compensate the price of fuel by at least half to eligible Malaysians based on bumi quota.
Kalau mcm nie teruk lah. Harga minyak yang time RM 2.70 hari tu pun dah sesak nafas. Tapi lepas ni boleh lah beli kereta2 luar negara. Kepada org yang banyak duit boleh lah beli and jalan-jalan. Kepada yang 'kureng' beli letak kat garaj je.
Walau macam mana pun tunggu 1 May ni. Jadi atau tidak keputusan kerajaan ni!!!!
