BATU KAWAN:
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has instructed the transport ministry to explore the possibility of reducing road tax rates for diesel vehicle users amid rising fuel price pressures linked to the Middle East conflict.
He said the matter had been discussed with transport minister Loke Siew Fook.
“We cannot afford to reduce diesel prices now, but we can look at road tax adjustments,” he said at the 80th anniversary celebration of the road transport department at Stadium Batu Kawan.
In Malaysia, road tax for diesel vehicles is generally higher than for petrol vehicles of the same engine capacity due to an additional diesel surcharge. Lower rates are applied in Sabah, Sarawak, Labuan, Langkawi and Pangkor.
