The headlines in the news these days boldly proclaim the advent of "cheaper cars". As soon as I saw the headline, I asked, "Really?". Malaysians have been promised cheaper cars since cars were first sold. A brief glance through the reports revealed that some locally assembled cars will only be reduced several percent, while large vehicles like MPVs will actually be more expensive.
Local car company Perodua is the first car maker to publicly announce their new pricing schemes. They proudly announced that Perodua cars will see a discount of between RM800 to RM1,500 under the new government policy.
I went, "Huh?" You see, with the recent fuel price increase that RM800 will not amount to very much in the long run. I am practically speechless at the publicity this silly policy is getting.

well, if u ask me, i reckon that they increase the price of the cars or their road taxes. So as to not have so many cars on the road and causing all the jams and accidents and the heat in malaysia. In fact, they should provide top class public transport so that people can make use of it.
