Rafidah to explain today

Rafidah is supposed to explain all the controversial issues regarding the AP system today. I don’t think she can skip the meeting again.

Among matters to be explained are what are the criteria of giving out APs, and why are there as many as 6 types of APS:

  • open APs
  • franchise APs
  • tuner APs
  • student APs
  • diplomatic APs
  • “Member of Parliament APs”.

Will we see another advertisement for no more tears shampoo?

    maybe they just just scrap the AP policies and the excise duties so all car buyers will be happy, and in the long run, everybosy will be asking the transport ministers why the road systems are so insufficient then there will be transport shampoo???

    … combative, defensive, aggressive, … but then it has been many years since she was my lecturer / tutor in Univ. Malaya … teaching us about the evil that was known as the bloodsucking middleman in Rural Economics. How politics can change all of us. Wonder what she calls these hand picked monopolistic money grabbers that she has now created.

    ya ya bull shit,u know what ,all of us shoulld not buy plotong and leave them to make deficit for a year than they have to cap-lap and gulung tikar and balik kampung,the only reason the ap was an issue was that it wanted to protect plotong if plotong good quality affordable price these kind of thing wouldn’t happen not so many people would wan import cars .u know what in our place here lancer cost $110000 and in brunei a brand new lancer cost $18000,see the difference brunei currency 18000×2.2=39600,ahduh cheaper than than wira,u see the farking gov is cheating us taxpayers of our money wtf,and now in my place the jpj’s are holding constant road blocks to find out which mirian is driving brunei car and the bruneian is avoiding coming here and the economy isn’t getting any better,one thing leads to another,might as well cancel the ap system and everybody can buy better cars without those middleman who have so many ap and make so much money out of the rakyats,the kerajaan can always find ways to increase their coffers like increase tax on ciggarate and beer,this way it will discourage people from smoking and drinking,less drunkards on the road less acident,less accident more people at work,less traffic jam productivity go up…etc,haha VOTE ME FOR GOVERNMENT ONE DAY,HEHE

    PETALING JAYA: Government Backbenchers Club head Datuk Shahrir Samad stressed that it was not a snub when he called off a meeting with Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz today following the Cabinet decision to review the Approved Permit (AP) and national automotive industry policy.

    “There is no point in meeting her any more,” said Shahrir, who has been on a fact-finding mission regarding the industry in the past month.

    Sigh…………
