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 RM 3.90 per litre for RON97,while RON95 will increase to RM 3.70 per litre. However, the prices of national-made vehicles will be lowered by at least 40 percent. For example, a full-spec family Sedan Proton Persona 1.6 litre engine will cost around RM 23,000.00 excluding road tax and insurance. Import tax and excise duty will be revised to only 30 percent, from the current 200 percent. Imported vehicles such as the new Toyota Camry 2.4 litre engine will cost around RM 65,000.00.” 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.
The government might also re-introduce a cash return annually to Malaysians who own a 1,500 cc 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. Source===> SkyNet News Asia
Mintak-mintak berita mengenai harga minyak seperti ini dijauhkan sekali. Masalahnya siapa Finance Trade Minister Tan Sri Anuar Ali? Kalau individu yang bernama Tan Sri Dr. Anuwar Ali pun menjawat jawatan President/Vice Chancellor OUM. Masih teringat lagi artikel yang saya keluarkan sebelum ini berkenaan harga kereta selepas AFTA? Kemungkinan harga kereta import akan jatuh pada harga yang kita sendiri tidak sendiri tidak sangka lebih-lebih lagi orang Malaysia sudah lama immune dengan harga kereta import yang terlalu tinggi semata-mata untuk menjaga pasaran dan produk keluaran kereta Nasional.
Mana tidaknya, harga sehelai kertas biasa yang bernama AP mampu terjual sehingga RM10,000, RM20,000, RM30,000, RM40,000 malah lebih daripada ini semata-mata untuk mendapatkan harga murah bagi kereta import.
P/S : Yang pentingnya di sini, kerajaan jangan sesekali mengulangi kesilapan mereka dek kerana kegopohan untuk menaikkan harga minyak setinggi RM2.70 seliter sebelum ini. Diharap janganla ulangi eksperimen harga minyak itu sekali lagi. Sedangkan harga gula naik 10 sen pun sudah boleh lihat kesan yang ada sekarang?
Ramai yang cepat percaya apabila mendapat berita seperti di atas tanpa memeriksa kesahihannya terlebih dahulu.
