Read More @ SourceSlightly some-more than three months ago, we wrote an essay about a reasons because we shouldn't buy a car, during least for now. You can review it here. Basically consumers (yes, that's you, dude) have been taken for a prolonged ride given a key of former premier Mahathir's pet project, Proton, not which it was a finish error upon a partial of a tyrant though rather upon a irrationality of a consumers. Right, it was your parents' irrationality for voting a beast as well as his UMNO system of administration department for a last 50-years so we shouldn't get a blame. But if a same system of administration department is returned to power again in a next ubiquitous election, then you're equally idiot, if we choose to cross a "X" next to a "dacing" pitch representing Barisan Nasional.
One of a reasons given in my essay for land upon any brand brand brand new vehicle purchases was a political reason. Today, antithesis Pakatan Rakyat launches a brand brand brand new beginning in a bid to lure a immature voters abolishing dig duties upon cars. It seems they do review blogs for brand brand brand new ideas (*including FinanceTwitter, tongue-in-cheek*) upon how to swing fence-sitters. This ultimate carrot will really send Najib administration department in to defensive mode as well as we can bet a little income which a publicity-crazy budding apportion will counter-offer in order to have himself looks good. To those who review our essay as well as halted their dictated squeeze - congrats. To those who did not, we haven this for an additional day - "We Told You Already What !!" (*grin*).
The total internal automotive process was a might resource to siphon people's hard-earned money. Whether you're shopping a bad man's Proton or a luxury BMW, you're contributing to a government's (read: UMNO) coffer to a balance of an estimated RM6 billion each year, interjection to a generous dig taxes. If there's a single plan we should write for your PhD thesis, this is a single of it "Instilling National Pride while Milking Peoples' Grapes to Dry". You might not know this though upon top of a mind-boggling dig taxes, a internal vehicle industry was also brilliantly designed so which a cronies have been laid upon top of a pyramid-like supply chain of gangling parts. If you've been in to MLM before, you'll assimilate what we mean.
Now, there're many ways to skin a cat. While Mahathirism has been really successful in skinning undeveloped peoples' wallet through privatization (to a cronies), it seems a grand plan has reaches a tipping point. Don't have a inapplicable designation about it. The benefaction supervision has not stopped skinning your hard-earned money. On a contrary, a fear of losing a sovereign supervision usually hastens their greediness. Putting a argumentative Selangor H2O issue aside, a automotive industry saw prices of brand brand brand new indication such as Toyota Camry as well as Honda Civic skyrocket but great justification. Heck, greediness knows no range even an existent indication was influenced when Volkswagen Malaysia unexpected raised a cost of both a 3-door as well as 5-door Polo GTI 1.4-TSI by a whopping RM34,000 a piece this month.
It was so bad which Volkswagen has to clarify upon a Facebook which a cost travel (or rather rip-off) was due to "authorities". If a antithesis is intelligent enough, it should re-strategize as well as propose some-more offerings on a table instead of screaming compartment foam during mouth about corruption. If we were to request each UMNO's corruption, we can smoke-stack a files so tall which it can have rounds of trips to a moon as well as behind to planet earth. This ultimate sexy offering of slicing dig duties might not be as luscious as our offer of giving divided an AP (approved permit) to each adult though it is great enough to raise millions of immature voters eyebrows (and hopefully votes). This is a single of a many ways to skin UMNO's arrogance.
Sure, antithesis around PKR plan executive Rafizi Ramli might be testing H2O as well as toying with youngsters' appetite with these ultimate goodies. They might not be serious after all about slicing a dig taxes in assemblage though even if they can reduce a benefaction tax bracket of in between 85% 135% by half, which is great enough to cheers. After all, what could we presumably remove with such proposition? This is hilarious though usually when PM Najib suspicion he could buy your votes again with an additional round of BRIM RM500 money in a pipeline prior to a entrance ubiquitous election, a antithesis is dishing tens of thousands in saving for an affordable car.
If a Church of Scientology creates income primarily by auditing which could run to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, a Doctrine of Mahathirlogy creates income by selling (obsolete) inhabitant vehicle which run to tens of thousands of ringgit. And this is usually Proton pet project, thoughts you. The former budding apportion might think his Mahathirlogy still functions with his laughable threats of communists, terrorists, 13-May racial riots, military savagery as well as whatnot though if a antithesis can lift some-more similar rabbit from a hat to assistance ease a burden of a people, a aged tyrant might decide to take a earliest moody out of a nation prior to a next ubiquitous choosing results is announced.
Actually there're many alternative proposals which have been dear to a average-Joes which can be used to send Najib administration department to a cage with tail in between his legs though we'll haven which for an additional article. It's time consumers foreordain a prices of a simple necessity an affordable safe vehicle but costing an arm as well as a leg. The fact which a Malaysian has to compensate 5-year income compares to their Facebook American friends' 1-year income to own a same vehicle is simply outrages as well as insulting. And we can begin we do which by not shopping any vehicle during all. That's right, it's all about simple supply as well as demand economy. When a cronies can't have income in a vehicle industry, they'll be scared as well as have no alternative preference though to lower their prices.
If a simple protest of Mahathir crony's Gardenia bread could send them screaming in pain, suppose a impact if everyone stop shopping brand brand brand new car as well as have make use of of whatever left from their existent car. Moving forward, we should know how to vote if we instruct to be means to squeeze Prev 1.6 Premium CVT during RM44,000, Honda Civic during RM67,000 or F30 BMW 3-Series 320d during RM149,000. The preference is no brainer.
