Thailand’s reluctance to reduce duties for incoming Malaysian cars to the AFTA CEPT tax rate of 5% is making it difficult for UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd to export it’s locally assembled Toyota Hiace vans to Thailand. UMW Toyota has raised this issue with our Ministry of International Trade and Industry, in hopes that it will be settle soon between the two governments. For context, read the related blog posts.

cant agree with you anymore, too much power given made them forget that need to serve the rakyat and rakyat will serve for the nation…all become crocs "pnly know to get rich fast"…I just want justice here…no more blue and white with scale…
I was thinking changing to a new car. After considering how much money G take away from me, I said forget it. I am sticking to my wira for years to come even I can afford better cars.
halo rexis, it seems you are the black sheep in here,don't like me and the others critisizing our Mrs 30%, Close one Eye ministers,the G and their cronies? Too bad eh, but arent you ashamed that proton and perodua selling cheaper overseas with better specs than the ones sold in bolehlahland? oh sorry i guess you must be one of those with a lot of favours from the G so i am goddamn sure you wouldn't be caught dead driving a proton!
About UMW Toyota, I also dont look up to them at all because they too take opportunities and advantage of we rakyat by cheating us with expensive toyota badged "Kembara Long Wheel Base" Perodua Avanza.
So let UMW Toyota taste the bitter "Excise Duty" and "Tarriff" pill given by the Thai government.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

I cant agree with you guys more! lets give the opposition all our votes in the next election, then our present lawmakers will be fired and we will be be able to show them we rakyat are no more bolehlah people!
