Great savings plan !

When everyone is struggling to save their extra bit of money....

When Pak Lah said "Ubah Gaya Hidup!" (change the lifestyle) .....

Terengganu state government came out with a super smart savings plan:









By changing their 4 years old Proton Perdana V6 to Mercedes E200 Kompressor for the use of its state executive councillors and senior officials with the price of RM3.43mil for 14 cars.

The reasonS given by their Menteri Besar:

"In the long run, Mercedes cars are cheaper (than Malaysian national cars, Proton Perdana) to maintain and could also save us fuel costs."

"The state government had to spent Rm175,229.97 for the maintenance cost of ONE Proton Perdana and RM132,375.76 for another from 2004 to July 2008 due to frequent break down."

(for your information, a brand new perdana costs ONLY RM101,500)

Kick Ass! What a Genius savings plan by Terengganu! Forget about the fuel hike, forget about Proton/Perodua, let's drive Mercedes to SAVE!

Undilah BN.
