Cars 15 years & above to be CUT/WRECKED!!!

[Ah Pang]

Guys,

Heard something shocking this morning. Apparently the govt is seriously considering to implement a rule whereby cars manufactured 15 years and above, to be cut!! Just like how in Singapore and the rest of the globe. If you decide to keep your car, then it has to go through road worthy testing and a higher roax tax will apply(possibly 4-5 times more).

Owners of the said vehicles would be compensated with mere few thousand ringgit as part of 'wrecking your car'.

This move is to further discourage the second-hand car market and Malaysia simply has got too many vehicles on the road.

Anyone of you have heard something similar?Please share your views.

damn.........my car is already 11 years old...............
but sure still road worthy....
wonder do they compensate?!

 

[koolspyda]

they can try but please compensate us fairly after robbing us our hard earn money on silly APs.

we made a lot of sacrifices to buy a vehicle that we fancy & we dont rubber stamp easy money as we like.

sorry, but a noble effort to help the car sales but I'm not paid in US dollars but measly undervalued ringgit. thanks to the stupid deflation/mismanagement of lost of billions in ringgit currency (thanks bank negara). [while other factors to play in we could have much avoided costly gamble...]

I would welcome this move. In fact, move it to 10 years, and checks every 5 years. PROVIDED; everybody earns in US Dollars instead of Ringgit.

People of Malaysia have to shit blood to buy a normal car. 15 years is a short time when you think about the 7 - 9 years loan period people take. The government can go fuck themselves.

very well said koolspyda.....i agree with you...for all the misery they've put us through. we've proven our dexterity in coping with their ever evolving bureaucracy through the test of time.but that's them.fabrication & misleading(and now robbery!)are their key take-aways to run the red tape!

keep watching guys!

i wouldn't mind if a compulsary check is to be done on the car every 10 years or so.....but interms of scrapping off "MY" car...........no way!!

Dam my wira years '94

I think that would be a wise move, especially those car that are no where near road worthy. At the very least cars 15 years & above must go for re-evaluation and refurbishment/reconditioning if they are still to be used on public roads. And those of us who have to scrap our cars should be fairly compensated.

hmm...if the new rule is approved..i dun think we can stil see any legendary cars liao lo..rx7 ...supra...ae86...earlier generation evos...etc etc...wil all b gone from the country lo..like this oso can meh...forcin ppl to buy shitty protons..

 

[seperlinky]

They have a lot to consider if they do this. This will hugely affecting our economy. First of all, we need a strong currency plus new car must be really really cheap

 

[simonchangwaimun]

in that case...
r32 gone...aw11,86...all boliao
whoa...
then we can see more r32 dragster
wahahahhaha

 

[tajulsans]

Hmm, other country can do it because their car prices is cheaper than us here.. If tax imposed are still sky high, it will not get any support from us, the working horses.. only if we can buy cars at price 1/2 or 1/3 of what they are now, only then sounded feasible..

 

[TypicalGuy]

they can do that....by close proton and perodua and abolish ap..

 

[K_Takuya]

i totally disagree this solution. you see some of the old car owners on the road is old folks. if they scrap the car... where the old folks gonna get the money? public transport..no w.ay..its worse than 15 years old car
