The road transport department (JPJ) has received a new fleet of Toyota Fortuners. The assets were handed over to the state HQs in a recent ceremony by JPJ director-general Datuk Rospiagos bin Taha.
According to JPJ, the new vehicles are an urgent need (keperluan yang mendesak) and will replace vehicles that are 10 to 12 years old. The new vehicle assets can spur productivity and empower the preparedness for enforcement among officers nationwide, the department said.
JPJ revealed that the this fleet vehicle purchase is an initiative under the Program Cakna Madani Agensi Penguatkuasa that was announced by prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in 2023. The programme allocated RM100 million to enforcement agencies, and part of JPJ’s portion was approved for the vehicle purchase, which amounted to RM10.4 million for 58 vehicles.
Assuming that the RM10.4 million is for the Fortuners alone, that amounts to RM179,310 per unit. In May 2023, the Fortuner’s price was increased by RM5,000 to RM189,880 for the 2.4 AT 4×4 and RM230,880 for the 2.8 VRZ AT 4×4. The petrol-powered 2.7 SRZ AT 4×4’s price was unchanged at RM191,880.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Hmm why didn’t they go LOCAL and use X70 or X90? RM179,310 per unit and replacing vehicles every 10 years when lots of rakyat are driving shitboxes that are >10 years old! What a joke.
this is the way gomen thanks the JPJ for all that revenue from selling all those plate numbers
I don’t think we are putting geely and reliability in the same sentence yet. And the spare parts issue… Oh.. how long they took just for that…
Bestnye
*sighs* scrolls to comments,
Ooh there is non yet
imho when civil servants drive around in vehicles that majority of the population can never afford in a lifetime, something is not right.
funny why the JPJ didnt buy proton x70 or even x90.
10.4mil for 58 units
Average 179K /unit
Not free duty ke?
Need to do xtra ‘maintenance’.
Why do we need JPJ anyway? They are all useless af
government agencies rolling in 200k vehicles, the people riding in 50k trash
Kira yang betulnya rakyat semua pakai Fortuner gomen kena pakai axia ke?
Yes why not? Because Rakyat is paying their salary. Did your boss ride motor while you drive civic or BMW?
Memang kena sultan, CEO, polis, bapak kau, semua pakai Axia baru kau puas hati kan? Yes why not?
You know, these are not your everyday vehicle and need to keep at least 7 years?
They should get land cruiser…
civil servants (mostly landprinces) happily enjoying 13% pay rise and on top of that driving t20 car fully paid for by the taxpayer
Do they pump expensive diesel?
Gomen sendiri avoid ploton. Hahaha
Patut subsidize rakyat tu 10mil. Cut half to get car like proton x90 pun cukup. Y need fortuner
unlimited towing
I want to know why JPJ cannot use saga, bezza or persona. They need to go off-roading? Why rakyat can drive 20 year old cars while they cannot? Useless parasites
Murah la dari harga biasa.
ativa cukup dah for JPJ fleet
Brain dead government. You want to cancel ron 95 subsidies because the country is in deep debt and broke, and yet you spent 10m on luxury cars for your own government’s benefits? You shouldn’t even get an X70 when the country is this broke.
Japanese car parts like toyota more reliable and availability. If go for x70 then suddenly your break down, kereta kena sidai, fortuner more lasak, you know how toyota reliability is. And when government purchase they are tax exempt
