MAA welcomes move to reduce import duty on cars

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) welcomed the move to reduce the import duty on cars from Japan and Australia, saying it was in line with the Government’s aim to reduce the price of cars.

Its president, Datuk Aishah Ahmad, said, however, that the move would not have a major impact on the country’s automotive industry as most Japanese cars were imported into Malaysia through Thailand.
