Our new Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has rolled out his new cabinet today, and the following are the few people of note to motorists, people whose policies affects motorists and car enthusiasts in Malaysia:
- Datuk Mustapa Mohamed, Minister of International Trade and Industry – has previously served the EPU. MITI affects industry policies such as automotive industry taxation and incentives
- Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir, Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry – his father hopes he will solve the issue of AP holders who sell their APs.
- Datuk Ismail Sabri, Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs – let’s see if the plan to switch to RON97, RON95 and Euro 2 diesel will happen under this new leadership. Or we could also see fuel moved to the new Green Tech ministry.
- Datuk Tan Lian Hoe, Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs.
- Datuk Peter Chin, Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water – this new ministry replaces the Energy, Water and Communication ministry, will the Green Technology portfolio affect hybrid cars, electric cars, biofuel, etc?
- Noriah Kasnon – Deputy Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water

wasn't it mahathir who came up with those policies in the 1st place.
Hope the new minister will not increase the fuel price ever !!! :)
Yes, Mukhriz is there, and his brother is also selling cars, especially those high end car, so time to get more APs and extend to cover other cars…Let's see if they will get even richer.
later all of us will be driving BMW or Mercedes thanks to Mustapa and Mukhriz.

Mahathir family especially his son contol's the Porsche AP, so if you want to purchase a new Porsche, you will need to obtain the AP from them…

biasa lah malaysian… as malaysian we must be proud of our special ability to predict the future…. -.-
Mukhriz is already a rich person. Make sure you & your family member not getting richer by using your power. Let other people get some portion pulak. Or else you better get lost.
AP are there before, Mahathir tighten the AP regulation where company need to have means/facilities to sell car before AP given.
Thats why the son got AP for Porsche, before that somebody holding that AP where he simply sold it to another party.
Also don't forget.
Shaziman Abu Mansor – new minister of toll (works)… :)

The fact is, that even if I were to be Najib, I would not put KJ in.. too much weight to carry in… he is an excess baggage. a liability…
The next in line (Khir Toyo) also got too many issues.
The "cleanest" in line and the most logical candidate now would be Mukhriz.
On the AP matters, I think the policy will stay on. the only next steps would be to deal with those AP kings whose only business was not selling cars, but selling APs that they got for free.. Those guys should be kicked out..
Imagine if KJ were in charge of the APs.. I don't dare to go there… sigh…….

Sir, he is the authorized importer by Porsche.. so it is natural that he got the Porsche AP. http://www.porsche.com/pap/_malaysia_/aboutporsch…
You want to buy one in the country, you could also go to NAZA and Auto EuroCars.
You want to directly import one for yourself. you could get AP from him, or you could approach the other "grey" importers and AP kings.. good luck
.
i really hope that MITI will increase whatever tax for other cars manufacturers and use the tax to subsidize import of porsche, so that porsche will be in the same segment as proton cars. i dont mind if mokhzani get the exclusive right to sell it as long as can get cayanne as cheap as exora…
please mukhriz…. please please… i beg you.. please
god, please open up his heart to do that… ..ooohh cayanne..
Mohzani is lettin go of Porsche la…he more focus on Kencana…Besides you don't have to get AP from him if you want to buy Porsche or bring one in…Porsche Malaysia only holds the right for distribution
hope to here good news from this new minister, when a certain decads we had been spending certain tax for buying a cars, more joking is that some of the parent's things that every youngster should start from the begining which they need to buy Proton starting from the begining stage and only should buy other expensive car such as Honda and other's. Normally the idea is correct but when come to tax let's us compare, Proton RM 56,800 and Honda at Labuan and Langkawi is just only RM 57,980. I don's know wat;s the price for Proton at Labuan and Langkawi but for sure it will not more than 40 k lol. As u can c the tax for Honda City is 27 k, where does it go to? This certainly need to be explain by the gov.
Automobile is the most 'conspiracy' industry in Malaysia due to AP rules to monopolize the market for certain group of people. Just open a moto magazine, and you will see how much cars they own and the value of the car sum up anytime close to a bank. How come no one go check whether they pay enough tax? or the recycle AP can be 'tolerate' even got caught by the auditing firm, by saying we will bring them back to the right track…
Mustapha mohamaed = old already.. Noriah kasnon? who te hell was that too? They make a cabinet from politics view.. not professional view.
Stop 'berangan' driving porsche if you cant afford a 4 digit oil change….
God bless Malaysia.
All foreign companies that need to sell imported cars in Malaysia need to appoint a Bumi company so that they can get AP easily… Everyone in Malaysia knew that.. Only certain "Bumi" can obtain AP, you tot can get it easily?!? Even student from overseas can only obtain 1 AP for each only… There is unfairness of this AP long time ago… Even AP help those selected "Bumi" earn a lot of money, but still does this help our automotive industry? I seen more harm to benefits, as this draw even more foreign companies from not investing in Malaysia… The only benefits is Proton, Perodua & AP holders survive longer…
Anyway last time they mention to abolish AP by 2010, i think after 2020 will still got AP…
any comp also need 30% bumi equity… no difference here with bumi or not.
LAN-PA-PA-LAN, its a same if Najib didnt enforced rakyat-interest policy. the key point is still our new PM.
Hi all,
After reading most of the comments above, I may be mistaken that I am in an opposition political blog ie. just hantam the government of the day.
I believed that as this blog is dedicated for the motoring community, we should at least give our positive feedback and wish list that we hope the new cabinet should look into in order to elevate our plights with the global meltdown.
For me, I would like to see the toll rates lowered. Not abolished. Reason being, I worked hard to get me a decent lifestyle and am willing to pay for convenience. If we are to have toll free highways, we will then have everykind of vehicles on the highway and it will not become highways any more, but jammed up. It is like when you have the money, you would want to travel first class.
Cheers!
Travel first class in highway is when there is no toll, with toll like Sunway, you have to endure jam yet paid monies. What a moronic convenient!
Same policy different cronies benefited from the NAP/AP. Same rakyat either bought relatively low quality local made car, or purchased prohibitively high price imported made. These equations will maintain to ensure the cronies future generation super rich for the next 7 generations!
HEY, Paul Tan should be one of those minister…Then it will definitely improve
our automatic industry…. Hehe

This is huge income, who wants to give up…
Prepare to use ur old car another very very long time….
Sorry, I have lost my faith on lower car price….
Mahathir could be the next AP taukeh. Here is my name suggetion for their new empire= M.A.S.I – combination of the name MAhathir & SIti (like NAZA)
Dato Mustapha there, at least is a good choice. He can produce results like in MOHE
FYI,
datuk mustapa is a respected politician in this country ( to the gov & opposition)
because he's clean ( meaning no rasuah laaaaa )
and mukhriz also clean ( he's the one who brave enuf to tell Pak Lah to step down after PR12 , remember? )
let's hope these 2 guys can do their jobs…
no need to bash blindly just because they r from the gov
about the tax… there nothing u can do about it!!! even the opposition take over the new gov.. the tax will not be abolished because it's a great income for the gov..
Price of the non national car will increase again to protect Proton. That's for sure.

still need to wait another 10 years…
late see how a bad guy turn to become a good guy!
Really don't care who up there….. Rakyat just want to see results that would affect our daily life's… Daily necessities prices are going up although economic condition are worsen…
Bolehland had abundance resources… from water, mineral to fossil fuel.. yet wa have to pay Rm20+ for a can of cooking gas, isn't that a by product from fuel rigging? ? ? Gas, can be use in automotive, why didn't our 52 years nation leader come out with idea to tap this resources…?
Do we really had to rely on fossil-fuel ? although now its price a at low side but once the global economic meltdown had gone, price would go up according to demand….
Bolehland had abundant land, but we had lost many title in producing crops, we ain't No.1 producer of palm, pineapple, paddy & many more… does our land eroded and shrinked? No! And until when can our Gov will implement palm oil to fuel auto ? Hope they will soon had some action after a long long experiment and testing…
If bolehland leader can fully utilized our homeland resources, bolehland would be the 2nd riches within south-east asia… sudah 52 tahun laaaa…?
And these leader wouldn't need to implement AP, NAP and NEP to protect certain group as our nation is cash rich by then… need another 52 years to change…?
a suitable KIP slogan "Make a change or you'll be change!"
i hope every body have 1 ap to buy 1 car.
I also dun know why economy is going bad, but the price we see from food, clothes. etc, is either remain the same price, some of them still increase price…
Too bad, too bad….so what we can do, boycott…like no one care for us…
man, it is really sad…
transformer said, wat y are saying definitely does make any change under certain fact, after 52 yrs they still had corruption, in Brunei, Labuan and Langkawi is free of tax but in Peninsular, and sabah n sarawak is still the same, let's just here someone will announce some bull shit plan of 1 Malaysia, and than at the old way they proceed to corruption, many ap holder will just get richer and the poor will getting poor. Just in 10 yrs grace time imagine a nasi lemak biasa will be RM 10 . They use and corrupt nation money and borrow from other country bank, and now written very big at the newspaper to help to correct the economic wat a joke just like u still money under table for urself and pinjam money from other's and tax the nation higher and higher, and saying to attach a macc organization, in a joke. just covering their ass, who is listening from those shit they truely shit.
