What utter nonsense! The government can screw nails into these assembler’s rears if it truly wanted to. For that purpose, the government just needs to lower duty and taxes plus increase allowed age to 5 years for imported vehicles. Also, the actual purchase bill from auction house, imported landed cost of all imports with taxes alongside identifiable information like VIN, engine, chassis numbers and actual verifiable auction sheet with grade must be made visible publicly on the internet for curtailing excessive profiteering by importers. Further, any CKD assembly comprising more than 40% of each model’s parts need to be taxed like CBUs to encourage localization.

MoI&P and EDB are bought assets of this Japanese assembler mafia to protect their interests by formulating suitable policies and making sure no advanced technologies (EV) are allowed into the country. It is exactly why MoI&P, EDB and all Japanese assembler mafia raised hue and cry when MoCC pushed the consumer and environment friendly EV policy through cabinet’s approval and why some vehicles still proudly proclaim to be Euro 2 compliant.

Than what? I wait for you to launch a car company, because I do not have the resources to buy imported JDM that is three years old.
