no bad eh?…so the umno putera behind the AP also got a bit of power to ask government to review tax on hybrid car.

One hybrid car sold in malaysia is honda?…that means new hybrid company has AP approval but really not selling hybrid car?

Why not remove APs as well? What does AP serve other than enriching the cronies?

Take APs out, take Taxes out. Freedom to choose.

Smell something fishy here. Please check Premier Hybrid Cars Sdn Bhd. backgrtound. I think there is cronism taking place here. maybe ACA should go to the MITI after their ‘journey’ to the immigration department.

wat is there to think. remove unfair taxes on cbu cars and the rest would work itself out magically. freedom of choice dictates that people would choose the best car thier money can buy.

i guess the only thing they need to figure out is how much cut each would get from the profits of Premier Hybrid Cars Sdn Bhd having a monopoly on hybrid imports.

wow, such a “clever” decision!

us, commoners would “never” think of this idea.

what do they take us for? idiots?! come on, even my 17 year old friend already knew that was the way to go.

but at least, they finally got something right.

although i believe this decision might have something to do with Premier Hybrid just fresh into the industry.

This is a good move. Proton should team up with the Japanese and start producing cars that run on electricity fuel. Proton can produce the body and the Japanese can supply the battery. Maybe Proton can learn and make their own battery later on.
