Road Tax Reduction & Toll Raise in Malaysia.
Road Tax Reduction
Some Malaysians are very happy with the Road Tax Reduction ...
Let us, take a look at the simple calculations below...
E.g.
Road Tax Reduction = RM50 for 1 year
For per day = RM50/365
= RM0.1370/day (WAU!!!!!! What a big savings for Malaysians)
Syabas !!! To our Government !!!
Toll Raise
Examin ing a situation where a person uses the Kesas Highway from Klang To K.L.
(To & Fro, which means - using a full package on this Highway)
Old Toll Rate = RM1.50 per toll x 6 tolls = RM9.00 per day
New Toll Rate = RM2.20 per toll x 6 tolls = RM13.20 per day
Difference = RM0.70 per toll
For 1 day = RM0.70 x 6 tolls (To & Fro)
= RM4.20 / day
Normal Working Days for Normal Person = 240days / year
For One Year = 240days x RM4.20
= RM1008.00 (Difference bte Old &New Rates)
Full Calculation = RM13.20/day x 240 days
= RM3,168 per year
But Some Crazy Guys Work for 365 days / year
For One Year = 365days x RM4.20
= RM1533.00 (Different - Old & Present)
Full Calculation = RM13.20 /day x 365 days
= RM4,818 per year
For other toll places you can calculate yourself ... using the same method.
If an average Malaysian Salary is RM2000.00/mth. (For easy calculation purpose)
It means he/she will be spending his/her 2 month salary/ year just to pay on his toll.
Syabas again !!! To all Malaysians.... For Being Blind

Malaysia Population (2006): 26.9 million
Lets assume half own cars = 13.45 million cars
Lost of tax to goverment = 672.5 million per year
That's 672.5 million less to use to run this country every year. Don't get me wrong, I think the toll system is screwed up too, but try not to sound so selfish when you complain.

I am not complaining. I got this from the forwarded mail. Agree with you that the government also losses some RM from the road tax reduction. I think the road tax reduction is meant to relieve our burden from the hike in toll.

The question is not what is saved and what has increased. The question is whether the government is accountable to the citizens. They are not publicizing toll agreements and want to use OSA acts on people who want to educate the public. Also, Malaysia should be very much more comfortable now with high petroleum revenues, but the government is trying to squeeze every penny from its citizens from fuel hikes, toll hikes, utilities to get the most but delivering the least possible. Happy?

Yup, that's a better way to gripe.
