STOMPer Ng spotted this Singapore-registered car at a carpark in Kuala Lumpur and wonders if the owner is aware that the car is there.

"While on a business trip two weeks back, I saw this Singapore-registered car that was parked at the Crowne Plaza Mutiara Hotel Carpark in KL.

 

"From the looks of it, it seems that the car was parked there for more than a year since the road tax already expired on June 2009. And there was a thick layer of dust on the body of the car.

 

"Hope this post will help the owner find the car."

According to the LTA website, this car has been de-registered. Strange that it reappeared in malaysia....

Maybe the scrap yard people drag if over there and use it as a normal car since the government there will not stop you to check for your roadtax. But I am surprise if this is true that it has parked there for a year that no one actually tried to steal it.

wonder will LTA take action to find out the truth or what actually happen, why the car is there, etc..?....

[Ghostami]

What can they do?? I think the most investigate the company that did the scrapping of the vehicle. I don't think they will bother Malaysia police for this case. Maybe just send an email to them and if never reply just forget it unless this is Mr Lee's car.

I think the car was stolen here and then managed to drive past custom.

 

I think the car was stolen on beginning of 2009 before the road tax. After learning that his car is stolen he report police and eventually deregister the car. I hope some of the copen owner after reading this go and notify their clubs.

Hope the driver of the car is ok and the abandoned car was not because of some mishap to him.

Interesting. So does it mean you can drive a SG registered car in MY without paying road tax or insurance etc for both countries (after declaring it as lost to LTA & insurance co.)?

[Icedbs]

The hotel so long never ask for the car park charges?
