Abolish Car Excise Taxes – First Step Towards Dismantling Mahathirlogy

Slightly more than three months ago, I wrote an article about the reasons why you shouldn't buy a car, at least for now. You can read it here. Basically consumers (yes, that's you, dude) have been taken for a long ride since the introduction of former premier Mahathir's pet project, Proton, not that it was a complete fault on the part of the dictator but rather on the stupidity of the consumers. Right, it was your parents' stupidity for voting the monster and his UMNO regime for the last 50-years so you shouldn't get the blame. But if the same regime is returned to power again in the next general election, then you're equally idiot, if you choose to cross the "X" next to the "dacing" symbol representing Barisan Nasional.

One of the reasons given in my article for holding on any new car purchases was the political reason. Today, opposition Pakatan Rakyat launches a new initiative in its bid to lure the young voters – abolishing excise duties on cars. It seems they do read blogs for new ideas (*including FinanceTwitter, tongue-in-cheek*) on how to swing fence-sitters. This latest carrot will definitely send Najib administration into defensive mode and you can bet some money that the publicity-crazy prime minister will counter-offer in order to make himself looks good. To those who read our article and halted their intended purchase - congrats. To those who did not, we reserve this for another day -"We Told You Already What !!" (*grin*).
