Malaysia New Petrol Effective 5th June 2008

[Tedyruby]

I was at Caltex, near Leisure Mall at around 10pm. All 3 pump stations (Shell, Mobil & Caltex) were flooded with cars. Manage to get my ride topup to full . Shortly after that, all the pump kiosk one by one close down because running out of gas.

 

When I return home after supper, there were very little cars on the opposite directions from SG custom to JB.

actually we have to thank Msia for providing us low cost fuel so far.

 

i say Pak Lah is doing more for Msia than others give him credit for. he is even risking his political career to do this. Everyone knows he can easily make a politically safe decision, surely he has the foresight to know that it is not efficient to subsidise fuel with record world oil prices...

[Samwng]

Well Say

 

I feel the same way as you..but looking at the reality. Ppl on the ground have no choice b'cos of $$$ not enough.

 

Nowadays.. everything is soaring like rocket.. but salary stay the same.. how to balance.. .

Was surprise by the light traffic to/fro spore/jbee.

 

i think many sporeans assumed causeway will jam like siao.

 

Jbee ppl too busy pumping petrol in jbee.

 

Hehehe...let me breeze through both immigration points to/fro.

 

Pump at Mobil nearest customs also very few cars.

 

Luckily i know my way around pelangi/sentosa area. Manage to siam the traffic jams near petrol kiosk and even get to wash car & have dinner inside.

 

Got everything done under 2 hours.

Agreed !

They feel more pitch then us

 

B'cos the $$ earn cannot cover their bill or even have to top up.

i am still holding my msia passport and IC..wonder will i qualify for the rebate?

Don't qualify unless u got ka registered under ur name.

[Ncss]

M'sian Govt should fine tuned the rebates for cars below 2000cc.

 

Many well to do people there drive Camry 2.0, Accord 2.0, BMW 320i, Cefero 2.0, Mazda 6 2.0 and many others. These people certainly don't deserve to get the RM625 rebate every year.

 

Hi,

 

The RM625 rebate is for cars 1999cc and below. 2000 cc cars do not qualify for RM625 per year. In another word, Malaysia-made cars other than Perdana need not pay Road tax every year already. Lucky we never buy a 2000 cc car.

 

Regard

 

Camry 2.0, Accord 2.0, BMW 320i, Cefero 2.0, Mazda 6 2.0 and many others are in fact 1999cc and below. They are close to 2000cc but not 2000cc

[Ncss]

so is the ban still on or not, my main concern??

 

The ban of 50km is deleted liao... but subjected to change because MY gov change mind very fast one.

[Samwng]

Think MYgovt only wan to cover "p..d.na" which M'sia make car.

[Ncss]

Dont be happy yet lah. Ban or no ban, it is obvious that RM 2.70 petrol wont last no more than 3 months.

 

Its confirmed the petrol price will rise to RM 4 a litre come Sep 2008 with Malaysians getting back rebates while Singaporeans get nothing.

 

Their rebate is annually while Singapore government give just one-time and ask u to F off and claim they are good government. *faint*

 

But good to hear that Malaysian cars below 2000cc need not pay road tax though. Their road tax is already quite low. think Kancil road tax is S$50 a year or less than that. Singapore Kelisa road tax is about S$500 or more already.

 

Dun happy too fast... later they change mind again on the 2000cc rebate.

Hard to predict the changes...

market price is RM3/L? wow... we pay S$2+ for ours

 

SIMPLE

Market Price RM3/litre = SGD 1.28 per litre

Add Tax SGD 0.60

Add GST 7% on gross (1.28+0.60) = SGD 2.01 per litre.

 

The difference goes to the Govt.

No bad thing - I support high prices so that consumption will reduce for future generations.

[Ncss]

And also the petrol company additional profit

[Melissa]

Words got around that everything that needs to be delivered in

M'sia increase their prices...

Received a few calls today, saying that they are going to

increase their prices within the next few days, asking

us want to stock up or not

 

Who knows... Veggie from Msia in SG will cost more too..

 

[Gary84]

Bro, price on par wif SG's petrol u still consider wad?....siao bo...hahaha

[Gary84]

Come Sep'08 when it rises to RM4/L also still pple queue up to pump in JB de la...

RM$4 = S$1.70/L...still more than S$0.40 cheaper than us...

[Mivec9]
