close to 4bux per litre of fuel?

PUTRAJAYA, Jan 8 – The mechanism for fuel pricing in Malaysia has finally been finalized and controlled under one mechanism, which also takes the high and lower income group people into consideration, according to Finance Trade Minister Tan Sri Anuar Ali.

“From May 1, the fuel will be pegged at RM 3.90 per litre for RON97, while RON95 will increase to RM 3.70 per litre. However, the prices of national-made vehicles will be lowered by at least 40 percent. For example, a full-spec family sedan Proton Persona 1.6 litre engine will cost around RM 23,000.00 excluding road tax and insurance. Import tax and excise duty will be revised to only 30 percent, from the current 200 percent. Imported vehicles such as the new Toyota Camry 2.4 litre engine will cost around RM 65,000.00.” he said.

The mechanics has been said to be undertaken by a team of experts from Australia and Canada who were earlier briefed on the issue of subsidy in this country, whereas after consideration by the transport minister, they have signed the constitution that the system will be made on May 1, the day it goes into effect.

Under the new system, there will be a major effect on the existing consumers who have already purchased a vehicle and to those who are in the midst of repaying the loan of their vehicle to their financial institutions.

Motorcyclist Dies on Federal Highway

22nd December 2009,
Motorcyclist dies on Federal Highway near Carrefour Subang, colided with a lorry.

Who's fault? Was the motorcyclist supposed to be on the Federal Highway in the first place?

The poor lorry driver will probably going to jail for not offending traffic rules...

Big Car, Small Brains?

Yeah, so I was driving down on the way to work vis the Federal Highway and saw a HUGE Lexus 460 driving like its his grandfather's road, or may be it is?

First video, I was trying to catch him changing lanes without signals. Number plate was WNY 3. I ended up seeing a dumb motorcyclist idling in the middle of the fast lane. Number plate BKK 4412. Well, what if one of us bangs the motorcycist?




As for the second video, the white Lexus was caught red handed :D.




Well, people build their business from scratch, and get a car this huge. BUT, where's the manners? Where's the brains that tells you SIGNALS ARE CREATED TO BE USED, not created to 'pai leng' or as an optional item!?

Seriously, all car manufacturers should make indicators or signals as an optional item on all cars. This way, they can save cost on the lamps, bulbs, wiring, switches, fuses.

Smart idea? I think not

Jam without reasons?

Does it not piss you off when you get stuck in a jam and crawled 2km in forty minutes?

This was what happened when I paid the last NPE toll at PJS2 and was heading home passing Sunway Pyramid. JAM! JAM! JAM!!!!! Yes, got stuck there for forty precious minutes and, only to realise that there wasnt any jam after the Kewajipan Roundabout.

Basically, everyone was cutting from the fast lane to the far left lane as usual. Inconsiderate and dumb as usual, causing other motorists behind them to slow down and wait for them to idle over to the far left.


Dumb isnit it?

Motorists without signals

Does it not piss you off when you see a ca rin front of you idling in the middle of the road, changing lanes as they like, without flashing their signals indicating that they're gonna change lanes?

Your grandfather's road?

This is how a true Malaysian should be, with a fighting spirit!

Cops record statement from doctor

JOHOR BARU: A specialist who claimed a policeman had falsely accused her of talking on her mobile phone while driving has given her statement to the police.

Johor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said the statement was recorded soon after the case of the woman, who only wished to be known as Dr Tan, was brought to his attention.

“I will ensure that a thorough investigation is conducted,” he said.

It was previously reported that Dr Tan from a specialist hospital here was taken aback when a policeman falsely accused her of talking on her mobile phone while she was driving to work at about 8.45am on Nov 26.

The uniformed policeman stopped her and accused her of the offence which she claimed she did not commit.

DCP Mohd Mokhtar added that he did not take such matters lightly, and if the claim was true, strict action would be taken against the police personnel involved.
