IPOH: Perak executive councillors need cars with higher capacity engines because they have to travel a lot.Defending the state’s decision to buy the 2.4-litre Toyota Camry instead of the 2.0-litre model, state senior executive councillor Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham said the difference between the two models was only RM7,000.
“The 2.0 model is said to be underpowered. In our line of duty, we need to rush and travel around extensively,” he told a press conference on Tuesday.
Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin had on Dec 12 announced that the state government would upgrade its official cars from the Proton Perdana V6 to Toyota Camry for state executive councillors and ex-officios.
Nizar had cited the high cost of maintaining the Perdana cars as a reason for the change.
Ngeh also pointed out that the Toyota Camry was one of the cheapest imported cars at RM167,000 each.
“We are paying RM97,000 for each car and the balance of RM70,000 is taxes imposed by the Federal Government and so we are paying to the rakyat (people), not to Toyota.
“Because the Federal Government refused to exempt us from paying the taxes, the state is paying the money, which we hope will be channelled back to the rakyat,” he added.
Ngeh, who admitted that the state had initially declared that it would not change its fleet of Perdana cars, said the government later decided to make the change because its present fleet of Perdana cars kept going in and out of workshops.
tunku : this is another excuse by perak government. there are some people who are travelling few hundred kilometres a day in a kancil . there is big different in 2.0 and 2.4 litre, first the price, second the maintenance and third the petrol consumption. i am sure if pakatan is the opposition, for sure they will create chaos of this issue.by buying perdana perak government can save about 60000 per car and can use the money to develop or help the poor in the state instead of paying 70000 taxes to the federal government.don't give stupid excuses.this is what happened to some people when out of all sudden the gets the power.

Kalo usaha nak memajukan negeri sama seperti permintaan mereka tu, aku setuju. Tapi kalau usaha seperti nak tak nak, tapi nak demand itu ini. itu memang tak patut.
Nak jugak kereta besar. Alasannya sebab Terengganu pakai kereta lagi hebat? Dah lah nak pakai Camry, siap nak yg 2.4 lagi tu. Melampau betul nak bergaya ni. Bawak2 la berjimat, cakap dekat orang pandai, diri sendiri macam hangguk jugak.
Nak beria2 sangat kereta2 besar tu buat apa? Tak cukup2 ke? Kata nak berkhidmat untuk rakyat. Kata nak berjimat semua. Tak yah lah nak mengada2 pakai kereta mahal. Kalau nak bergaya sangat, beli kereta sendiri, bawak lah ke hulu ke hilir.
Semua orang berebut nak pakai kereta yang bergaya2 ni. TApi dia pakai Camry lah, kononnya murah sikit daripada mercedes.
