According to a statement issued by the ministry, the monthly payment for a Toyota Vellfire 2.5L was RM4,851.61, compared to RM4,854.41 for a Proton Perdana 2.4 Premium.
"The decision to switch models was based partly on the lower monthly cost for the Toyota Vellfire 2.5 compared to that of the Proton Perdana 2.4 Premium,” the statement read. The government’s decision to switch models for ministers’ official cars, a replacement process that began last April, had recently gone viral on social media.
The Finance Ministry noted that the switch was also due to Proton ending the production of Proton Perdana 2.4 Premium in 2014, adding that the proposal to switch models was made by the previous government but only implemented this year. The ministry added that some of the cars in question had reached six years of age, although the replacement of the vehicles are scheduled for a four-year period. - Bernama

Reduce what? Rm2? I think it is not about change of official cars, it is change of the finance ministry official! Cz it seem that u don really understand the meaning of reducing cost, when it is about the whole Malaysia account bharianmy malaysiakini tzafrul_aziz .
Doesn't make sense!! A car much more expensive cost cheaper whn lease!! Proton against vellfire.
Isn't it better to support local brand for that small difference? Regardless if it's owned by the Chinese.
Petty cash for a reason? - argument should have been for price of durian Belanda we bought durian musang King for the same price but a discount of 2.80 ! La Value for money ma!
Then better use Perodua or Proton Saga...
Yeah, right...u get 2 or 3 Aruz or even X70 for 1 Vellfire. That's sound more like reducing costs tzafrul_aziz

How much the reduction have you counted? 😆
Pakailah Myvi, x70 ke x50. That is reducing costs. Don’t talk kosong please.
How much did you safe? Seciput je. If you use PROTON, at least you are helping local manufacturer and setting good example.

“Aimed at”what does that mean? How so. This is causing distress.
Why you tzafrul_aziz too ashamed to be seen in a Saga or Bezza ?
