M'sian car levy in a couple of months TEAMCAR - THE RM20 levy on vehicles entering Malaysia is expected to be implemented in a couple of months' time.

The decision was confirmed by Malaysia's tourism minister Adnan Tengku Mansor after he launched the Visit Malaysia 2007 tourism campaign here.

The RM20 levy, first announced by the Malaysian government in April this year, is meant to compensate for losses when motorists drive into Malaysia to fill subsidised petrol. Tengku Adnan says his government is in the midst of finalising details of the levy.

The levy will affect vehicles entering Malaysian via either Singapore or Thailand.  ¶ 11:03 PM
