Laooo ehhh
so what is they are doing is asking people to wait for years for BN to actually fulfill their promise to bring car prices down?
i just want to know if most of us here can read above article
In short, NAP will not make car cheap in near future… car will be cheaper only until certain minority protected group ready and reduce their price. When they sell MYR1, you are not allot to sell less than MYR 1.10!
Seriously 31 pages? Seriously? Tu pun intro dah makan 10 pages
NAP policy is going to kill the automotive industry and benefit the open AP holders. the people got to pay thru their nose
9 yrs installments ma.Or else cannot buy car ma.
How about fiesta vs attrage? Or fiesta vs ranger
from last election push to next election, and next election will push to next next election, and there are still people believe in barang naik….LOL>..
And before you know it, you are already six feet underground. 30 years of mediocre quality and ‘tak laku’ overseas, only depending on Malaysian buyers.
Proton need to import ‘real specialists in car manufacturing’ fast.
Malaysia is not the only country with expensive cars. Just check the car taxes in Holland where tens of thousands of people ride the bicycles daily. TEPUK DADA TANYA SELERA dan UKUR BAJU DI BADAN SENDIRI.
no one had brought this up yet?
well, he it goes….
THANK YOU BN VOTERS!!! TERIMA KASIH!!! XIE XIE!!!
You guys made Malaysia a better country! I am so proud of you!
And NAP 2014 will drive the RV of kimchis even lower
When people trade-in besi buruk, mana ada ‘rv’- whether sushi or kimchni?
as usual great plan but horrible execution. i didn’t see anything written about 30% price reduction by 2018 as claim by umno’s media.
Just 31 pages? This is not an undergrad assignment paper, this suppose to be a detail paper on our automotive industry! I have doubt we be able to compete competitively with thailand and indonesia for the next 4-5 years.
This report looks like some college assignment, with bits and pieces plagiarized from the net. Seriously, this doesn’t look like a well thought out policy rather something cooked up half heartedly to make a few more orang kaya besar.
if you got no $$, just buy kangkung don’t buy cars, flooding the road with rubbish cars, everyday i have to drive my 400hp car under 100km/h thanks to the japanese, korean and malaysian cars causing jam
Not your father’s road, ok.
stupid: HAHA. I get your humour.
That is right. A typical malaysian would not want to take public transport.
Ask yourself: If tomorrow the govt invest over RM 10Bln in public transportation, tighten security, take all measures to make it efficient and long hours of operation, would you even consider taking it?
Its the mindset of a typical malaysian that has to change. Government change is far than enough. I hope the younger generation can learn to save and not simply spend.
I won’t take public transport because our’s are horrible. I would take one if it”s efficient, convenient and cheap!
Frankly, i would still drive a car for the love of driving, so blame me, i take it. And yes the typical Malaysian has to change, but the Government has to change too. Look at our cabs, they don’t drive safe, some of them are dangerous criminals, and they don’t use the meter, also many cabs are in a disposable condition. Look at our buses, who would want to take a bus full of smelly foreign workers? I am being very realistic here. The government has so much to do to improve our public transportation system, yet they’re spending elsewhere, we deserve a BOTH good public transit and good roads to drive. You can’t blame the people for wanting to drive when public transport is shit.
But you must share the roads with cheap cars ok. Not your father’s roads ok.
as long as i can go fast i don’t mind, I’m sure they won’t mind the flashing headlights too
Nice! after making so much noise they finally reduced it a little. From now on we should make double the noise to get a bigger reduction.
They can’t ignore use forever.
Honestly I am quite shocked with the announcement . Although I m not a BN supporter, i still think Najib will reduce the car price after taking so much from the Rakyat. Scary scary
Not worth to say anything.. Just.. Hharrkpuiihh.
Our Planning should have an objective with measurable result in numbers. We are talking about fact & figures.
Out neighbour country planning is always with fact and figure to achieve.
Not like wat we have here. We want this and that; we hope this and that. But no well define goal/objective.
Congratulation to our Gov. I really don’t understand how we reach this situation while 25 years ago we are much ahead our neighbour country in automotive industry.
actually they know all the figures. but afraid if they implement sure proton will kangkung. ancient engine technology cannot compete others in CO2.
memang kencing kuat ah kerajaan bn ni
All this automotif problem was not created but invented by Mahathir.Because of his foolishness of inventing so called Malaysian made cars….PROTON & PERODUA.Rakyat ended up living a deprived life.
Bloody fools…BN UMNO cant even provide proper education and public transport but ventured into automobile industry and screwed it up big time.
Best is to but a good continental car an maintain in.Dont ever buy a crappy proton and support those lazy bn umno goons
Hoping to hear some good news especially reduction price for car but our beloved government have ruined it. Thank you government especially BN.
I really don’t expect much, esp. from the gang of kangkung and company….
Apa? Tiada pengecualian cukai untuk kereta rear wheel drive dengan kuasa kuda tinggi?? Oh tidaaakkkk
What a drama ? After waited so long
how many years still the gov still fikiran kangkung?
For those that say Malaysian not willing to use public transport even if the G improve it, I as one of those who took public transport during my school and college time would like to share some thought…
I was robbed once, knife beside me, and that is before the crime rates escalated as high as today… I waited 2 hours for a bus that finally took me to my college where I attend the final 15mins of the class… I waited under the hot sun until my shirt is drenched with sweat, imagine how that smell in an aircond room… I waited under heavy rain and got sick the next day… I often need to use 2 buses to a specific place (which took a long time because I need to wait twice and the bus will drive slower and stop often), sometimes 3 times for further area.
It is not that Malaysian want class, it is just too troublesome and risky to take public transportation… But if all the issue above have a solution, then I think most of us will be more willing to use it, maybe not on the spot but changes need time…
Remember the days of the Bas Mini Wilayah? Cheap and efficient.
Save your time, no need to read the whole program, conclusion is:
1. More money will be wasted on national automotive industry
2. No reduction in car price
3. More expensive CBU hybrid car
No need to say thank you for the conclusion. Makan kangkung, it’s cheaper
why everybody talk about AP. We have many car manufacturers, Proton, Perodua, Naza, Toyota, Honda, Kia, Nissan, Inokom, Hyundai…….
The announced NAP is all and sundry hogwash. As long as the government needs to protect the livelihood of bumiputra participation in Malaysia’s automobile industry there can be no genuine NAP policy. The minister has unashamedly stated they will study the open AP policy (i.e. after umpteen studies) after CNY as it need to consider the interest of bumiputras holding those APs. I surmised the NAP was announced for academic reasons as it has been promised but postponed many times. It is therefore released for self gratification only with no commitments to adhere to it.
I’m in agreement with you. The objective that have been communicated to MAI is very clear…. remain the status quo. That is why we see that the report is a load of rubbish, without any substance, data nor detailed plan and schedule.
kantoi lagi. come next GE, ah jib will tell you they need to be elected again to fulfill this 30% reduction promise. when they win, the cycle continues. another 5 yrs…bla bla bla
Aiyaa, what a waste of time, another junk,just get the Civic, put on Proton badge.
Then it’ll sell like hot cakes.
They already halfway there.
Actually i don’t understand why taxless price in Langkawi is more expensive in other countries which have tax… Why???
Just wondering whether the present CKD C Class Mercedes Blue Efficiency comes under EEV. If yes, nanti can be seen a lot on the road every where.
We never know. It’s probably a high school assignment and they simply picked the best one that they can get.
again, protection…..and again….
when will this be ended? we talked about growth of our country yet we still keep ourselves under the umbrella saying we need more protections, after all these lengthy years of wastage.
when will it end, and when will our economy be revived.
the world in on their economy recovering stages yet we are on the other way round. so sad to hear on this so called NAP. yet, just another junk to all malaysians. as when there is no target date for achieving results, it means there’s no improvements in promise.
we live in this land and we’ve been talking about the same old grandma grandpa story that we know all along (corruptions, cronies etc). please stop all the saying and do something good.
we live to provide solutions, not like the Gomen we know that creating more and more say or problem.
live up, malaysians. kami anak malaysia!

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments express widespread disappointment and skepticism towards the National Automotive Policy (NAP 2014), citing it as ineffective, vague, and full of empty promises, especially regarding car price reduction. Many feel the policy favors cronies and Bumiputras due to ongoing AP protectionism, blocking genuine price advantages for consumers. Several comments criticize the government's focus on protecting local industries and the lack of tangible results, including promises of a 30% price cut. Public transportation issues, high car costs, and government inefficiency are also frequent topics, with frustrations about public transit safety, affordability, and corruption. Overall, the sentiment is negative, with many commenters feeling betrayed, disillusioned, and calling for real action and accountability to improve the automotive industry and rakyat’s welfare.
