1) No, it is just a proposal from a Johor assemblyman, the levy is not yet imposed.
ReplyDelete2) Yes, if it helps to enhance traffic flow and improve security concerns for our citizens.
QI1204M Yiyang
1)No.
ReplyDelete2)Yes,i don't understand why we have to pay tax for using Singapore cars in Malaysia.Our country did not want Malaysia registered cars to pay tax right?Afterall,it is not like we,Singaporean did not pay our food and clothing or do any illegal things at Malaysia to have to pay tax for our paid registered Singapore cars.
-Sarah Ang,Class of QI1204M
1)yes
ReplyDelete2) when you enter to someone else country it is never free as nothing is ever free in this world. to me i find that i agree with this article? as when i go overseas you need to buy the plane ticket which is counted as a levy too.
From Andrew QI1204M
1)Yes
ReplyDelete2)No,when we go in to malaysia and spent money there we are helping their economy so why do we need to pay extra charge for going it.
From: Edwin QI1204M
1) Yes
ReplyDelete2) Yes, the governent need to maintain traffic control to reduce the amount of complains from Malaysians and SIngaporeans. However, if the government has no money, he has to discuss with the Malaysian governent for Agreement. By Zhong Han.
1) Yes
ReplyDelete2) Not entirely, as the move might actually shun off more Singaporeans to actually drive to Johor for their short getaway or maybe a simple shopping. On the other hand, it'll also help boost the Malaysian economy slightly as there are a lot of Singaporeans drive in to Malaysia daily.
From: Muhd Faiz QI1204M
1) Yes
ReplyDelete2) No, as paying money won't make a difference. Traffic will not be maintained. People will still go over there for shopping, visit relatives and etc. So why bother implementing this rule?
From: Teoh Khai Cheat QI1204M
1.) Yes
ReplyDelete2.) No, I don't agree to the call as Johor is already raking in alot of money from Singaporean firms. I think its unfair that they are considering the assemblyman's proposal to charge Singapore registered cars while we don't charge Malaysian registered cars coming inside Singapore.

1)Yes
ReplyDelete2)No
"imposing a levy on Singapore-registered vehicles entering the state to generate additional revenue", "attracted more than RM6 billion from Singapore firms". Since they are getting many revenue from Singapore business why do they still need extra revenue from US and, if they went to impose levy why don’t impose it on every car entering the state instead as to be equal.
-heng kiat RH1204P
1) Yes
ReplyDelete2) No, paying won't make any difference. Traffic will not be change. People will still go over there.
-TanShiYu QI1204M
1)Yes
ReplyDelete2)Yes however it depends whether it will really help the traffic. Some people may stop driving to Malaysia however there are still people that don't mind paying the taxes as they need to go there to see their relatives or going there for shopping. If they do want to put a levy on the Singapore Cars they should give rebate to those whom need to visit their relatives on a frequent basis as its unfair for them to have to pay the same taxes as to those who is going there just to have fun.
-Soh Jun Long Alvin Q1204M
1)yes
ReplyDelete2)no.if imposing levy does help traffic flow i would have agree but it does not.They are just trying to make up excuses to earn money from us singaporean.
From Bay Zi Yang , QI1204M
1) yes
ReplyDelete2) No, we already taking advantage of the car oil price which is cheaper in malaysia.
-Limjunjack Q1204M
1) Yes
ReplyDelete2) Yes, as I don't think a lot of singaporeans will mind paying just 7 RM to enter Malaysia as they will be able to purchase a lot of stuff in Malaysia which are cheaper compared when buying in Singapore.
What I really hope is that they will really make use of the money they get from the levy and use it to maintain the security in their country.
- Gerald Lim QI1204M
Good job everyone, QIM and RHP! Keep it coming...
ReplyDelete1)Yes
ReplyDelete2) Yes. As to maintain the traffic flow of the vehicle. However, there are not much improvement taken from their side.):
- Salman RH1204P
1) Yes
ReplyDelete2) Yes. It is to control the traffic flow.
-Khairi RH1204P
1) Yes
ReplyDelete2) No, by imposing a levy on Singaporean registered cars will not help the traffic flow.
-Darren Tan Jun Da RH1204P
1) yes.
ReplyDelete2) because even if you include the RM7 entry fee, it is still cheaper to shop and eat there than compared to Singapore.
-Zachary RH1204P
1)yes
ReplyDelete2)no because it does not help minimise the traffic flow, i will still be coming to Malaysia just to pump my petrol because its cheaper
- Siddiq Bin Ridzuan RH1204P
good job everyone!
ReplyDelete1)yes
ReplyDelete2)No. It does not control the flow. Because the charge go over is low and anyway people still go for shopping cheap stuff and visit relativea
Cheng Yibin RH1204P
1) YES
ReplyDelete2)No, because it would be a lose lose situation as many singaporeans shop at johor and because of this johor will lose out on alot of profit. secondly why should singaporeans pay to enter johor when other countries like indonesia don't have to?
