Trengganu: Mercedes purchase was a cost cutting measure!

BN state Terengganu has procured 14 units of the Mercedes-Benz E200K at a price of RM3.43 million (RM245K each?) to replace the Proton Perdana V6 Executive state exco cars that was purchased in 2004. The new E200Ks will be used by the state exco members, state assembly speaker, secretary, legal adviser and finance officer.

Terengganu State Secretary Datuk Mokhtar Nong said the state felt the E200K was better for the long term compared to the Perdana V6 as the maintenance costs were lower. Terengganu MB Datuk Ahmad Said said that the Perdana V6 was not suitable for continuous long-distance journeys as they were coughing up alot of money maintaining the car, especially the gearbox.

The MB used state exco Toh Chin Yaw’s Perdana V6 as an example to prove his point. The Perdana V6 was claimed to have burned RM50k in repairs in the past 3 years. He did not go into details on what exactly needed to be repaired that needed that sum of money, and where the repair works were performed.

dia beli keter tu semata mata kerana sayangkan duit rakyat... ko tak tgk brita ke tadi..

semua aspek sdah diambilkira.... segala kos dah dikira....

tapi gua lebih sokong kalau dia beli bentley atau pun ferari.. lebih mudah nk masuk ceruk kg dan melawat rakyat susah... sekaligus banyak lagi duit rakyat dapat
di"selamat"kan...
