<Proton Di Luar Negara Lebih Murah Berbanding Di Malaysia Posted: 18 Jan 2012 06:56 PM PST Protons more expensive in Malaysia than overseas PETALING JAYA: Saudi Arabians pay less for Malaysian-made Proton cars than we do, an independent think-tank revealed. Malaysians, on the other hand, were expected to cough up RM52,999 for a "standard Waja or Persona", and RM52,988 for a Gen-2 in 2011. "The fact that local cars are cheaper overseas makes little sense," REFSA said in a statement. According to Australian vehicle listing website RedBook (www.redbook.com.au Those prices, according to the national car website, were just prices in Peninsular Malaysia. Protons sold in Sabah and Sarawak were found to be at least RM2,000 more. Citing Malaysian Automative Association (MAA) president Aisha Ahmad, REFSA said Malaysians were paying more for their Protons because of painfully high taxes. "The burden comes from excise duty and sales tax, which are a minimum of 65% and 10% respectively… Aisha said in January 2011 that every car sold in Malaysia had been levied 65% to 105% excise duties, not including 10% sales tax," the think-tank said. In comparison, Thailand's excise duty, REFSA said, was a mere 35%. According to a Malaysian Insider report, Malaysians were paying an estimated RM6 billion through excise taxes on cars every year. Quoting the MAA, the report said that the government had imposed these taxes because it "needed the money". http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/2012/01/18/protons-more-expensive-in-malaysia-than-overseas/ |
