Najib: APs issued for cars stuck at port
The government has shed some light on why new APs were issued when previously it was decided that APs for tune-up cars shall not be issued.
Apparently, these APs are for cars already brought into the country and are sitting around taking up space at ports around the country. These cars were brought in by the importers and they just assumed they would be able to get APs for them, and the decision to stop issuing APs for tune-up cars took them by surprise.
In light of this, the special committee that handles AP approvals decided to issue APs specifically only for these cars, and not anymore new ones. Datuk Seri Najib assured after this no new APs would be issued. So now we know the special reason Pak Lah mentioned.

WTF! Don’t let us think we are stupid ppl! When the car are imported into this country they already needed AP. You say that these cars on the port are without AP’s! Those are smaggurled cars to me! If they don’t have AP’s sent it back! Or sell it to other countries why us! U bloody hell of greed! If not of any $$$ into your pocket! I think you will just abandoned it! What importers believe it to sent? Kanasai reasons! Is just black and white + $$$ u need to get those cars into our countries! Dont tell me in this advance world you cant call or sent an e-mail to cancel the order! This is worst… What in hell will they realize that they are making this Malaysia worst.. Now everyone in the world knew Malaysian are money minded! Even BPR is just a puppet show to the citizens!

———–
The custom department should seize the vehicle at Port Klang, instead of issues AP to them. Those involved in this biz should well known on the procedure! And the custom dept should auction these vehicles at its Kelana Jaya office as previously done!
To assume get APs after import theses cars? Huh, just like smugller assume they can smuggle through the border, but if get caught, they should deal with the law, not “close-one-eye” or “legalize” their activities by extend “special reason” to them!

March 11, 2007 @ 2:42 pm
You’re asking too much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buying car, pay tax
Go Mc Donald, pay tax
Go work, pay tolls
Buy 4D, pay tax
Use phone, pay tax
Average p/m paying up to few hundreds to blood sucker. Still not enough, can you guys think about it. WE’RE NOT KIDS, we know how to calculate. It’s our money, use it wisely. Poor management/decision, you won’t suffer only us feel “the pain of our wallet”
Take our money use it to benefit us NOT YOU. Worth than Ah Long
Drop the AP craps.

Hmm… I can see where this is headed as far as law enforcement by our gomen is concerned: whenever anyone breaks the law, just retrospectively legalise that specific act. After all, Malaysia Boleh!
For example, if a VCD pirate gets raided next time around, we can probably expect the authorities to just say, “You just pay the royalty lah, and we’ll consider it even.”
You think the gomen wouldn’t, if they can bloody get away with it? They can’t, because of the pressure from them Amerikans!!
March 11, 2007 @ 7:39 pm
There is nothing y’all can do.
ur vote mean anything to me.
I am d LAW n G here.

Go loyar buruk at kedai mamak n eat maggi.
Ur words of criticism cant dethroned me.

and APs r here 2 stay..
words………!!!
G lied to rakyat again.
spesel frenz n relatives were awarded APs.
wot Malaysian goin 2 do?
March 11, 2007 @ 8:33 pm
Like this, all those AP companies just bring the cars-and “store” it at the port. No need to rent extra space for placing the cars. Then wait few months so that the G gives “Spesel” permit, couple with those who approve get 1 hyper tuned car. Corrupt till the end.
March 12, 2007 @ 8:08 am
Probably there’s something else that have prompted this move. Maybe someone else is getting more than special treatment, and to square this off with the “crooks”, the G come out with this “legal” idea of special AP issuance for cars “imported” in without APs.
Such short explaination does arouse the gen.public to think nothing but bad about the whole idea. The dragon lady is even worse. Pushing all the responsibilities to the AP commitees, claiming innocent on the matter.
Very lacking of transparencies here. Plah’s word of fighting corruption and a more transparent G, is all but talk only.

Take out the APs. Open the market ASAP & catch up w/ other countries or car makers.
