I'm asking some friends to support me in sending a protest letter to the PM regarding the proposed ban on cars 16 years and older.
Firstly, what sin has been committed by the cars ?
As it is, Malaysia ia already the second most expensive country to own and run cars in the world. (Singapore takes the cup.) The prices are already ridiculously high. The insurance keeps getting higher every year. The road tax is high - some Asian countries, not to mention developed western countries, don't even charge road tax.
The prices of imported cars are beyond everybody but the truly rich. The highway tolls are high and, unstopped, will break all ceilings.
And still you want to take away my innocent, old car ?
So you want to promote the national car industry. Then why allow easy entry of foreign cars ? Even USA has import limitations.
What about the kampong folks with their old jalopies ?. They have to endure new debts to buy new cars now ? How do they move around , with the public transport being what it is, since pre-Merdeka days I might add ?
Old is sinful now ? How many old cars driven by old men are involved in car accidents in the last one year ? How many are young men in new cars ? Shouldn't you ban them instead ?
Has the Minister concerned made a study and asked opinions before opening his mouth ?
Is this matter a top priority for the government ? This is the wish of the people ?
If the BN government proceeds with the implementation of this automative policy, you can put down my vote for the opposition for the next general elections.
