Malaysia now has a new Minister of International Trade and Industries – Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yasin, who was the former agriculture minister. He is also an UMNO Vice President. He is assisted by his deputies Loh Wei Keong and Datuk Jacob Dungau Sagan. MITI does play a role in the automotive industry here in Malaysia (taxes, import and export policies, etc), so there could be a wave of changes coming soon. The next few years could prove to be interesting.
We also have a new Minister of Transport – Datuk Ong Tee Keat and assisted by his Deputy Anifah Aman. And perhaps we may finally say goodbye to Samy-fied roads thanks to the new Minister of Works Datuk Mohd Zin Mohamad, and his Deputy Datuk Yong Khoon Seng.
After dabbling for years in the IT industry, Paul Tan initially began this site as a general blog covering various topics of personal interest. With an increasing number of readers paying rapt attention to the motoring stories, one thing led to another and the rest, as they say, is history. An avid electronic gadget aficionado as well as big-time coffee lover, he's also the executive producer of the Driven motoring TV programme.
Lets just hope this combo will bring good news to us motorheads…
Hooray… Rafidah Aziz is out…but AP issue still no change…
The good news is the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affair Minister is Shahrir Samad. Yess!! The AP rule may be changed. Toll consession maybe revised. Hmm..Do you realize the field of the new minster have at least 9 Johoreans? Something to do with WPI maybe.
good good…OTK as transport minister….good lineup i guess…Rafidah out yahoo…JJ out yahoo!!!
haha..this will be a big porblem for naza. no more insider in miti..shahrir samad?this will be good news for malaysian..i hope new minister transport overhoul all the public transport in KL.
off topic : paul,didnt u know that petronas now become main sponsor for toms racing team which is using toyota@lexus car if i not mistaken in GT japan?since when?when they sign the aggrement?i hope u can create new headline about this.TQ bro
Yihaaa….!! the Sammy Bullu & Rapiiiigidahhh Aziz has ‘passed away’ from their throne… hope we will see a better policy on AP rule & tol when using road with this new minister… oo yeah!
if same crap but different face thn no point………but we got to give them a chance….
Surprisingly why, Rafidah Aziz is out?
good there is no AP queen and king perhaps.
but looking overall … the new cabinet is WEAK and worse! cabinet.
Yes,no more Samy No Value!!!…..no more irritating voice of RAFIsuDAH!!! Very interesting…
Overall, a better cabinet than the previous one. Sharir Samad, Zaid Ibrahim will speak their minds. Amirsham (ex Maybank) is a true professional.
However, Mike Tyson is in. Perhaps Pak Lah thinks his escapade in Australia is forgotten and he can be forgiven. I hope he has improved his English, because in court, in Australia, he admitted that his English is not good, and that’s why he did not understand the custome declaration sign.
Glad that Khairy is not in.
wow Rafidah didn’t get any post.
I guess Pak Lah has realised that she’s not exactly a crowd favourite.
after how long he found that one out ?!!
the whole ting jus needs an overhaul….times changed,political and economic situation is different now….no more fooling the public….if only half of them put a decent effort with honesty we can be in dreamland…..seriously thrs noting more we wan…..
enough of this ‘fill my pockets as much as i want’ ppl……enough already….
Any idea on gas consumption on this Campro CPS? Some claim it’s not save enough like the VVTi.
OK HERE’S MY WISH LIST:
smooth roads and increase speed limits

btw.. in another story is. rafidah is good at international trade & int dealing (but the AP issue put her in black lah).
Many sarawak and sabahan now.. i dont see this a good sign for economy side.

I DONT WANT TO KOREK SAMY…. BUWEEEKKK BETTER THAN A MALE HIPPOO!!!!!!!!!
BUT I HOPE THE NEW MITI MINISTER WILL DELIVER TO US IN PRICE REDUCTION OF 1.5 BELOW. BECAUSE THIS TYPE OF CAR IS THE RAKYATS CHOICE. HOPE FOR A BETTER DAYS AHEAD FOR BN. TRY AND SEDUCE AND AROUSE US WITH YOUR SEXY GOODIES PLEASE!
Its funny to read how some of you know NUTS about politics.
Rafidah reported to Pak Lah
Muhyiddin will report to Pak Lah
Rafidah and Muhyiddin cant get green light without Pak Lah’s approval.
You guys actually think you will see much changes?
pls update 4 new changes tq…
DONT WORRY PAK LAH WILL LISTEN NOW…
IF NOT 2012 THE PM WILL BE PAK ANWAR …….
SURE HE WILL LISTEN DONT WORRY,
IF HE STILL DONT LISTEN U GUYS KNOW WHAT TO DO RIGHT!!!!!!!!
If Muhyiddin can’t do it, nobody can dudes. He’s done wonders wherever he went. When Mukhriz sent that thought provoking letter and everyone called for heads to roll, he was the only one to ask Dollah to hear what Mukhriz had to say. Coz apparently they are losing points with grassroots.
But if you’re thinking cheaper cars, that’s a long way off. He’d better get those FDIs back in. Looking at the economic state of the world, that’s real hard work.
Buckle up, keep your hands down. Enjoy the ride.

>>>KOREK KOREK KOREK!! He ask why, we say “act of God” called karma, wakakakakakak
Well, all the best to Muhyiddin. If he can’t solve AP issue, dr_carz, let’s do IT, zehehahahahahahaha. I’m gonna turn 21 this 21st, and I’ll DEFINITELY register to become a voter, muahahahahahaha.
MisterBenjo, that song is damn catchy and funny,you made my day,…Anyway look at the positive side,let both BN and BR argue what is best for the Rakyat,end of the day,maybe we untung,…BN or BR they are all politicians and full of crap!!!
Lets see if the two new ministers can deliver. Muhiyidin Yasin was good in his previous post
i guess I long for the time where car user tax money goes to a fund to improve: roads and public transport. And a watchdog are there to ensure those money are spent properly.
I for one will like petrol to be taxed instead of subsidised as of now, as I am all for environment. Car tax let it be… no harm done.
A pretty large watchdog compared to last time. Hopefully the bark will be loud enough for them to cower.
Now let’s see if the AP kings will be kept on a leash, and Japan – Malaysia Trede Agreement will be followed through without compromise, clean and clear.
