		<description>Maybe Toyota and Honda sounds a bit cheap for their &#039;status&#039;. Being a politician is a glamorous lifestyle. Everything that they do is always given the 1st class treatment. 1st class in anything and everything. Fly 1st class. Stay 1st class. Eat also must 1st class. If on the road, must 1st class as well with the outriders and all. Tak dapat tunggu kat lampu isyarat macam pemandu lain ke ? In a hurry to go shopping or cari perempuan simpanan ? But when it comes to really doing their job ?? I don&#039;t think there&#039;s any class to be measured up to. Because they are fucking slow when it comes to doing their jobS, REALLY doing them

Yeah, and to be told to change our lifestyle and all that beefshit. We deserve to lead the lifestyle that we give ourselves, because we work our asses off for it. But to rely and dependent on the rakyats&#039; expense ? Memand tak masuk akal.  Its been stated that Petrodollars have been spent for the development of our country. But this clearly shows that it&#039;s actually spent for the development of their own personal interests. Exco, or whatever, they are all the same.</description>

		<description>Let me correct you all regarding the price of the proton perdana V6 executive price. The car cost about RM166k per car. So it more expensive than accord and camry. If adding the cost of maintenance for Perdana then it will be more expensive than the mercedes. However, it still does not justify for the governement to purchase the mercedes.</description>

		<description>To justify their purchase ?? The figures that they report could be (as usual) some figures that they derived from their own delusions and what not. I honestly don&#039;t think they should justify anything, but their own actions in decision making.

Why a Merc if there are other equally good brands out there ? Take Toyota Camry for example. The shape of the car alone screams luxury. The interior is of equal standard as well. And to think Perdanas are expensive to maintain ? Wait till one of the newly purchased German marques break down.

Its baffles me (still), that at some point, considering the major petrol hike and the increasing cost of everything, they still think it&#039;s the right move to be splurging on the rakyats&#039; expense. I think BN is seriously out of their silly little (useless) minds.</description>

		<description>its the same old story, pronton expensive cos of the cronies, buy merc since its rakyet $$, and why so expensive in maintain pronton? Its a joke, or probably they do pay more to maintain a proton (you know why, remember the Indepedance Day ID4 movie, the Gpay hundreds for a screw...hahaha). Go watch movie Charlie Wilson&#039;s War, and you figure out how it works.</description>

		<description>Listed at http://www.asia.mercedes-benz.com/dsclight/dsclight_adapter.php?country=malaysia&amp;module=config#quickaccess as RM353,888.00

So if the math is right, they &quot;saved&quot;RM108,888 in terms of taxes.

If the logic is right, us mortals &quot;if and when we can afford&quot; this car, would pay that same amount just for being Malaysians.

Hmmm...</description>

		<description>Common la.. I fully support The MB choice. They are leaders and they work hard for it! 
I don&#039;t agree to Penang CM punishing his Exco by making them using old junk!
They as our Leaders deserve to be rewarded by their leadership quality, only then they can be expected to work harder. If everybody receive the same, who want to work?
Supporting the local car industry is totally another story.</description>

		<description>the oil price is high now but Terengganu government buy expensive car (Mercedes Benz). Why? The main reason because they want to reduce maintenance cost and getting better millage. For me, that are not the best reason. their reasons is reliable if the buy Camry 2.0 or Accord 2.0. more extra money can help rakyat. bad decision by Terengganu government. tq</description>

		<description>To aksMs:

I cannot answer your question because I&#039;m not a politician, and never will be. I did mention that &quot;bribing&quot; supporters is the party&#039;s culture. All I&#039;m concerned is that he&#039;s using the taxpayers&#039; money for this extravagant purchase.</description>

		<description>Justin.
Good for you.At least you are thinking out of the box. I am no advocate of the government&#039;s present decisions on a range of things but in this case, the MB deserves the credit in setting forth the facts. At the end of the day, it is not about who wins but facts must prevail.

The unlimited mileage serves the exco&#039;s purpose very well.So they can drive from the north to the south in one day and back again the next day, if something breaks down, the exco will get a courtesy Merc while they repair the car. FOC.....I believe, many other manufacturers have mileage limitations.
At the rate they travel, the warranty will be over in 6months to a year. That is where the MB talks about the maintenance cost. Coupled with the fact that suppliers charges the government exhorbitant prices. I think everyone knows that the government pays top top prices in anything they buy. Show me someone that suppliers to the government and truthfully says otherwise.

ALSO, remember what our MITI minister said about Proton parts are 50% higher which he believes is not reflective that the parts are 50% better than the industry... Add this in and you have your answer.

It is like getting an illusion that the part is cheaper than others but getting substandard quality parts that do not last.

BTW, i do not work of Mercedes or any of their dealers....</description>

		<description>Add in the brand prestige they are getting, viola! there you have it, a goood deal. The federal government isn&#039;t happy about this because this might start a revolution...where every state governments stop using Perdana V6 Executive and this will cause Proton to lose money.</description>

		<description>Agree with what 9166 said, come to think of it, it is actually a sound purchase if  the state government doesnt have to pay any tax for it. Do remember that the Perdana we&#039;re talking about is the Executive version which has a longer wheelbase and cost about RM 200k when it was new and the re-sale value of the Executive version is certainly crappy (about RM 60k for a 04 model), compare it to a E200K, the state government can still sell it away at their cost price (RM 200k+) after 3/4 years. Camry or Accord are way below their budget  (don&#039;t forget that the Perdana Executive costs about RM 200k). Add in the warranty they are getting from Mercedes, the cost of the car is virtually free of charge. The fuel consumption of E200K is actually the same as a Camry 2.0 or Accord 2.0 and the service interval of 15 000 km for the Mercedes is certainly a plus point. (Check the fuel consumption at the respective manufacturers&#039; website). What&#039;s more, E200K is assembled in Pekan, Pahang (in certain manner, the state government is contributing to the economy)

In short, the Perdana V6 Executive the government has been purchasing is just a waste of money and certainly cost more money to the taxpayers.</description>

		<description>OMG, “I use national cars and the Prime Minister uses national cars too,” he told reporters after chairing a Malaysia Defence Industry Council meeting at the navy base here on Monday.&quot; I still called back my mind last year when I was in Airport and I said VPM and the car WASN&quot;S Perdana V6 Executive. It is E200K and No. 888 (I forgot the alphabet). 

Yes, for normal situation all VIP should take Perdana V6 Executive for daily work. But use Mercedes E200k for daily work, it seem over and should we ask where the money come from to purchase them. 

Perdana V6 Executive having many PROBLEMs??? Then why the Government still protect Proton when it claims it is problematic car. and some politicans said that the maintenance is very high, is Mercedes maintenance cheap??? 

Why don&#039;t choose Accord or Camry which have significant lower maintenance cost than Mercedes and consider that it has a good lifespan too. These 2 models are more fuel efficiency than Merc too. 

So why Mercedes E200K?</description>
