BN Kinabatangan MP Datuk Moktar Radin has asked the Ministry of International Trade and Industry not to entertain the proposal from the Selangor Car Dealers and Credit Companies Association to scrap cars over 15 years old as the majority of the people could not afford to condemn their 15-year old cars.
Way to go Datuk Moktar. There are many people earning peanuts and driving their reliable 23 year old Nissan Sunny 130Y around. Public transportation is not good enough. When I used to take the public transportation to university, I often reached the place tired and in no mood to learn anything. It is the same with people having to suffer the public transportation on the way to work.
Dear members of the Selangor Car Dealers and Credit Companies Association, why do you want to take away our rides just so you can have deeper pockets?

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments generally support the idea of scrapping old, unsafe, and polluting cars, especially those over 15 years old, with many emphasizing road safety and environmental benefits. Some suggest that the policy should be voluntary and include proper inspections by authorities like PUSPAKOM, while others criticize potential profit motives of car dealerships and government agencies, fearing forced ownership changes and unfair compensation. There is concern that high car prices and economic constraints make scrapping and replacing vehicles difficult for average Malaysians, and some advocate for more affordable, reasonable car prices to facilitate such policies. Overall, sentiments range from strong backing for scrapping old cars, particularly if it promotes safety and pollution reduction, to skepticism about the policy's fairness, implementation, and potential for abuse.
