The government suddenly abolished excise tax on all CBUs (such as ours)...
would there be a mad stampede to buy foreign makes? Poor Proton...good
try but in the real world...

subsidy, and start charging exhorbitant prices for petrol (i.e. similar to
UK approx GBP1 per litre)? There's also talk about introducing tolls for
cars entering the city, similar to Singapore's ERP...what if all this
happens? Less traffic in the city?
Think that the traffic woes in the city could be addressed once we start
having better and more reliable public transportation. Even our 'pride and
joy' PUTRA trains are experiencing frequent breakdowns nowadays....and our
buses are never puntual per schedule unlike that of the developed
countries...The bus companies seem to think of profitability by route as
opposed to serving the public. Just look at the new housing developments
and how the people there are served, public transportation wise.
Think once the infra for better and more reliable public transport system
in in place we might have better roads to drive on.
Also feel that the toll operators (PLUS, AKLEH, etc) could do better in
reducing the rates of tolls for OFF PEAK hours to encourage more people to
use their roads....Win win situation for all since they gain with more
traffic and revenue and we gain in terms of convenience at a cheaper price.

1) Alarms were provided as standard for the Nabira's
2) Lugage covers were provided as standard for the Nabira's
Will this incease the goodwill of the brand and increase sales?

Considering less traffic jam, our cars will have lesser fuel burn wastage.
Government able reduce on petrol subsidy. With that saving, invest into
Project "Turn Palm Oil into Petrol" this will have any economic booming
for Malaysia.
Then, with AFTA, more car investor come into Malaysia. Generate more
employment opportunity, generate more skill engineers in Automotive
Industry....., Formula One.....
Are we Able to VISIONĦĦit?
What Malaysia have TODAY is a direct result of
What Malaysia did YESTERDAY
What Malaysia will have Tomorrow is a direct result of
What Malaysia do TODAY.
YESTERDAY is gone
And the past cannot be changed.
If, however, Malaysia take ACTION now
Malaysia can form the FUTURE !

Now what if...
In this rainy season, there is an emergency hole patching team to patch
up all the unbelievable huge and numerous potholes in Kuala Lumpur...will
this go some way to alleviate the image of KL known as...Korek Lubang?

3 months ago or B4 I purchased a Chevy and came to discover that it didnt
come with a proper alarm system , heat shield, boot cover etc ?
Would I be buying after that? Would the car I be driving today , a
Chevy...?
