Hi Guys
I know you are all aware of the reasons why our car prices are artificially jacked up. This is just another reminder for you to resend to as many as possible to wake up as many as possible.
Yes! And brand new!
Toyota Camry 2.4L for RM69,396.00 (and not RM170,000.00)
Toyota Altis for RM46,000 (and not RM112,000.00)
Honda Jazz for RM36,000.00 (and not RM108,000)
And know the actual prices of your dream car.
Car Prices In Malaysia
Digest this article, after that, you may need to vomit. What is the Malaysian Govt doing all these while. Ripping off our Rakyat for the last 30 yrs with APs designed to benefit a few well connected Bumis, the UMNO/BN have robbed millions of citizens in this fiasco, under the pretext of protecting our local industry. The Govt have forgotten we Malays are the largest customers in the country.
What is the NEP policy doing ?? Ripping off the Malays (which forms 65% of the consumer base) to benefit a few UMNO politicians !!!
BMW 535i sells for RM178,000 in the US
In the United States of America (a developed country which we are also aspiring to become by the year 2020) a 2009 model BMW 535i Sedan is selling for about USD50,367.00. This is only RM178,000 - about the price of a Toyota Camry 2.4L here in Malaysia . The same BMW sells in Malaysia for about RM450,000.
BMW 328i sells for RM155,000 in the US
The 2009 model BMW 328i 2 door Convertible sells for USD44,014 or RM155,36900 in the US In Malaysia the same car sells for over
RM460,000. This is an untenable situation.
Audi A4 2.0T Cabriolet Convertible sells for RM142,000 in the US
The 2009 model Audi A4 2 Door 2.0T Cabriolet Convertible sells in the US for USD40,328.00 or RM142,357. In Malaysia the same car would sell for about RM265,000.
VW GTI 2.0T sells for RM85,000 in the US.
In the US the 2009 model Volkswagen GTI 2.0T sells for USD 24,039 or RM85,000 only. In China the same car will cost around RM60,000. Over here the same VW car sells for about RM200,000.
And the 2010 model Toyota Camry 2.4L sells in the US for USD 19,659.00 or RM69,396 In Malaysia the 2008 Toyota Camry 2.4L sells for RM170,000. Toyota Camry 2.4L, 2010 model. RM69,000 in the US.
Car prices in Malaysia are about three times higher than the prices in the United States . We are a developing nation. Our land and labour costs are so much cheaper than the US . Why are our cars so expensive? It does not make any sense. Tak masuk akal.
Then here are some car prices from our neighbour Indonesia .
The Toyota Altis sells in Indonesia for about RM46,000. The same car sells here for around RM 112,000. Again we are three times more expensive than Indonesia
The Honda Jazz sells here for RM108,000.. In Indonesia the Jazz sells for RM 36,000. Three times more expensive.
We are paying ridiculously high prices (and actually impoverishing the Malays - who are the largest buyers of cars in Malaysia ) to support an out of date, out of touch with reality motor car policy.
We are paying the highest car prices in the world to support the Proton and other locally made cars as well as support a mind boggling AP policy which only benefits a relatively few rich Malays. A disproportionately large number of Malays and other Malaysians are being impoverished to subsidise the wealth of a few inefficient rich.
26 million Malaysians have to pay three times more for their cars just to support Proton and 120,000 people who are directly and indirectly involved in the motor sector in Malaysia and the AP holders. That is a ratio of 216:1.
This ratio of 216:1 is too skewed. 26.0 million happier people can contribute many more votes than 120,000 members of an inefficient motor industry.. 26 million unhappy people can change a Government. (The maths is not really difficult here)
And this outdated policy is impoverishing the Malays more than anyone else.
Here is some news from our DPM Tan Sri Muhyudin Yassin about our car policy. This is truncated:
Muhyiddin assures govt support for automotive parts and component sector
1. KUALA LUMPUR, May 26 - The deputy prime minister said special focus will be given to "facilitate and encourage" the development of the automotive parts and component sector despite the current global and regional economic downturn.
2. "Under the CEPT and Asean Trade in Goods Agreements, Malaysia has agreed to eliminate import duties on all products in the Normal Track on January 1, 2010. This includes motor vehicles, auto parts and components," he said.
3. He pointed out that the motor vehicle sub sector in Malaysia will not be directly impacted because of its heavy dependence on the domestic market.
4. "The Malaysian government recognises the contribution of the domestic automotive industry towards the development of the country."
Para 2 sounds promising but then Para 3 and 4 basically says that the Malaysian motor car industry will continue to be protected. This means we will continue paying the highest car prices in the world for automobiles.
Cuba kita kira : kalau kereta Honda Jazz di jual dengan harga yang sebenarnya (lebih kurang RM36,000 saja) dan bukan pada harga sekarang (RM108,000) maksudnya bayaran bulanan pembeli kereta akan jadi kurang, mungkin sepertiga sahaja daripada bayaran bulanan sekarang.
Jika sekarang orang bayar RM1,500 sebulan untuk beli Honda Jazz, kalau harga kereta lebih menepati harga pasaran dunia, orang kita perlu bayar sekitar RM500 saja sebulan.
Maksudnya tanpa Kerajaan perlu membuat apa pun (merangsang ekonomi, belanja berpuluh billion Ringgit duit rakyat untuk stimulus dan sebagainya) setiap rakyat Malaysia yang membeli kereta yang seharga dengan Honda Jazz akan dapat menjimatkan sehingga RM1,000 sebulan daripada kos sara hidup bulanannya.
This is like giving the car buyer an RM1000 pay rise without incurring any extra costs for the taxpayer, the Government or the economy. It will greatly reduce the cost of living in Malaysia and spur greater economic growth too.
Tapi sekarang, yang menjadi mangsa dulu dan yang menjadi miskin dulu orang Melayu juga. Orang Melayu yang paling ramai sekali menjadi pembeli kereta dalam negara kita. Orang Melayu kebanyakannya makan gaji - tiap bulan dapat gaji tetap. Bila harga kereta naik gila, yang menjadi miskin di saf depan sekali adalah orang Melayu juga.
In absolute numbers, the Malays are suffering the most because they are the most in number among the fixed income people who also buy cars.
Some folks said the other day that Proton has 150 major component suppliers, dealers, distributors and about 500 other parts suppliers too. Of the 150 major component suppliers, about 15 of them are listed companies. In total they employ about 120,000 people. The Proton supply chain is a mix of bumiputras and non bumiputras. But here is a sad fact : none of them are operating at their level best efficiency.
Our motor car policy is forcing Malaysians to subsidise Proton so that Proton can sustain major inefficiencies in the Malaysian economy.. This is not a good thing at all.
We have to unwind this situation. Set a target of 18 months from now to unwind all protection for our motor industry. Remove the impoverishing AP policy also in 18 months. Let Malaysian car prices reflect world market prices for the same makes of cars.
If a BMW 535 sells for RM178,000 in America , it should sell for a little less here in Malaysia (our rentals and salaries are cheaper). Fw: Car Prices In Malaysia
The Ministers continue making pronouncements about the car industry as though nothing has happened. I hope everyone will please wake up. The Government has a real chance of getting thrown out of office in about three years. The people will not accept inept answers anymore.
The ridiculous car prices in Malaysia is an issue that is just beginning to get more attention and publicity. It is going to become a really big issue in the near future. Be forewarned.
Saya pun dah lama sedar akan isu ini. apakan daya, semut kecil dgn gajah mammoth bezanya mcm langit dan bumi. ko ibarat anjing menyalak bukit jika bersuara. selagi orang2 berdosa yg ada di atas sekarang masih berkuasa, dan selagi mahathir belum menetap di alam lain, usaha kearah sebuah negara yg lebih baik adalah mustahil. Kita banyak menyedari akan ketidakadilan yg berlaku dlm polisi kerajaan dan terhadap undang2 yg mereka luluskan tapi tidak banyak yg kita boleh lakukan. Mereka memegang kerajaan dan pemerintah dan kita akan diperintah selamanya. Sebenarnya banyak cukai terselindung yg kita byr kepada kerajaan. setiap hari. banyak yg kita rugi dari huntung mempunyai kerajaan sekarang. dasar2 yg mereka laksanakan banyak mengikis kita dari dlm dan luar. Itu termasuklah saman menyaman kesalahan lalu lintas yg sengaja diada-adakan oleh pihak polis. kalau tidak masakan ada yg datang mengadu kepada media kerana menjadi mangsa.
ReplyDeleteSelain dari cukai tahunan yg kita perlu bayar kepada LHDN, kita juga membayar kerajaan terhadap setiap makanan yg kita makan di kedai atau di rumah setiap hari. Beras yg kita beli adalah salah satu benda yg dicukaikan kerana pengimport dan pengedar beras adalah BERNAS. Sama cerita dgn pegangan hak (AP) terhadap pengimportan kenderaan luar negara. Hal ini menjadi lebih teruk dan rumit bagi kes Sabah yg terpaksa menerima polisi CABOTAGE. Semua kos terpaksa ditanggung pengguna di sini. Sebagai contoh, kenderaan import. cukai kerajaan terhadap kenderaan tersebut akan diturunkan kepada pengguna yg membeli kenderaan ini. mereka bukan sahaja terpaksa menanggung cukai 3 kali ganda dari kerajaan malah terpaksa dibebani bunga berlebihan dari bank.
ReplyDeleteTrue...but bare in mind that our oil price is much lower than the rest of the stated country...
ReplyDeleteAnon, oil price is lower than Indonesia? I think you still living like a katak dibawah tempurung. Please go outside world to see what is their oil price now especially in jakarta.
ReplyDeleteumno tidak boleh diharapkan lagi di Sabah. Musa aman adalah perompak besar di Sabah. Kenapa 81 dalil terhadap dia makan rasuah dilaporkan polis oleh dr jeff tidak diambil tindakan? sebab orang umno boleh buat apa2 saja kah di Sabah walaupun langgar undang undang?
harap kerajaan dapat wujudkan polisi yang memyenangkan rakyat.
ReplyDeletepeople should be encouraged to carpool.

oww sorry..except Indonesia...
ReplyDeleteWe all know this already.
ReplyDeleteharga kereta disetiap negara berbeza-beza.
ReplyDeleteapa pun, harap kerajaan akan berusaha untuk melakukan apa yang terbaik untuk meningkatkan kualiti hidup rakyat.
ReplyDeleteBerikan yang terbaik untuk rakyat berhubung kes ini. Harga yang tidak berpatutan pasti dikaji semula.
ReplyDeleteJakarta - If we compare fuel prices in Indonesia and Malaysia, in fact fuel price in this country is more expensive. In Malaysia, gasoline price with octane number 92 (similar with Pertamax) is lower because it subsidized.
ReplyDeleteIndonesia Oil Analyst Kurtubi explained to detikFinance on Thursday (01/06/2011).
Polisi ini sudah berterusan utk bertahun lamanya. jadi adakah siapa2 di antara anda di sini dapat menjangkakan berapa pulangan kerajaan dan kehuntungan berganda oleh pihak pemegang AP.? Katakan kereta import terjual jenis jazz adalah 4,000 unit setahun. Harga sebenar sebelum digandakan adalah RM36,000.00. Then harga selepas digandakan adalah RM108,000.00. Jumlah kenaikan adalah RM72,000.00. katakan kerajaan ambil cukai 15% dari jumlah keseluruhan selepas harga digandakan iaitu kira2 RM16,200.00. Baki masi RM55,800.00. Jadi RM16,200.00X4,000=RM64,800,000.00 ialah pendapatan kerajaan. RM55,800.00X4000=RM223,200,200.00 ialah huntung pemegang AP. Pemegang AP rasuah sana sini terutamanya utk sponsor pilihan raya, kasi sama YBs, dan pemegang kepentingan bla..bla..katala dia orang pakai RM23,200,000.00. Masi ada RM200 juta setahun. Sementara kerajaan mendapat manfaat terang-terangan dan tersembunyi, rakyat yg terpaksa menanggung beban akibat perbelanjaan boros mereka. siapa sangka kakitangan Obama tidak lbh dari 3 ribu org. PM kita berapa pula? Lebih 40 ribu org lebih. jadi tidak hairanla banyak duit terpaksa dikeluarkan. lain lagi peruntukan mi segera semasa pilihan raya.
