Menurut Nik Nazmi (kanan)
lagi, ia sekali gus mendedahkan betapa terdesaknya parti pemerintah
dalam berhadapan dengan kempen turunkan harga kereta oleh Pakatan
Rakyat. "Episod memalukan ini mendedahkan betapa terdesaknya Umno-BN dalam berhadapan dengan kempen #TurunkanHargaKereta Pakatan," kata Nik Nazmi dalam kenyataannya hari ini.
Pada 10 Jun lalu, akhbar Umno Utusan Malaysia melaporkan, kerajaan memenuhi janji menurunkan harga kereta secara berperingkat apabila lima syarikat pengeluar kereta mengumumkan penurunan harga 10 model kereta keluaran mereka.
Harian
itu juga melaporkan, penurunan antara RM449 hingga RM12,775 (dari 0.7
hingga 11 peratus) dalam tempoh Januari hingga Mei tahun ini membabitkan
kereta keluaran Peugeot, Proton, Perodua, Volkswagen dan Honda.Penurunan fasa pertama harga kenderaan itu merupakan sebahagian daripada pelan kerajaan menurunkan secara berperingkat harga kereta sebanyak 20 hingga 30 peratus sehingga 2007.
Bagaimanapun, Volkswagen dan Peugeot Malaysia di Facebook masing-masing, menjawab soalan pelayar Internet, menafikan perkara itu.
Volkswagen Malaysia menjelaskan, harga modelnya Golf tidak diturunkan dari RM169,888 kepada RM157,888, sebaliknya memang dilancarkan dengan harga RM157,888.
Manakala Peugeot pula berkata, mereka tidak dirujuk dan tiada kaitan dengan artikel itu. Menurut pengeluar kereta Perancis itu juga, harga yang ditunjukkan 308 Turbo pra- facelift dan 308 VTi sebenarnya merupakan dua varian berbeza dari Peugeot 308.
"Setakat pengetahuan kami, tiada dasar berhubung sebarang harga baru," jelas Peugeot Malaysia di Facebook lagi.-malaysiakini
Volkswagen dan Peugeot sangkal dakwaan Utusan Meloya mengenai penurunan harga...
Pembuat
kereta Volkswagen dan Peugeot kedua-duanya telah menafikan penurunan
harga tahun ini seperti dilaporkan oleh akhbar milik Umno Utusan
Malaysia tiga hari lalu sebagai bukti gabungan pemerintah itu menunaikan
janji pilihan raya mereka.
Utusan telah melaporkan Volkswagen, Peugeot, Honda dan pembuat kereta tempatan Proton dan Perodua telah menurunkan harga sepuluh model mereka sehingga 11 peratus bermula Januari tahun ini, menyiarkan senarai harga sebagai bukti kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN) telah menunaikan janji mereka untuk menurunkan harga kereta dalam manifesto Pilihan Raya 2013.
“Sila ambil perhatian, harga di imej itu tidak tepat. Harga Golf memang RM157,888 semenjak dilancarkan. Bukan RM169,888,” kata wakil dari Volkswagen Malaysia di akaun Facebook mereka merujuk kepada salah satu model Golf.
Seorang pengguna sebelum itu memuat naik laporan Utusan, yang mendakwa harga Golf telah dikurangkan sehingga 7.1 peratus dari RM169,888 ke RM157,888.
Bercakap kepada The Malaysian Insider, seorang pengedar untuk pembuat kereta Jerman itu mengesahkan harga Golf Mark 7 1.4 TSI yang dilancarkan sejak awal tahun ini memang berharga bermula dari RM157,888.

Utusan's lied on lower car prices
Umno-owned newspaper Utusan Malaysia
received another bashing from the Penang government for "lying" that
car prices had dipped in line with the BN's government 'Janji Ditepati'
(promises fulfilled) 13th general election slogan.
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng (left) accused the broadsheet of "racism and slander" whose contents cannot be relied on.
"Utusan lied when it said the federal government has fulfilled its election pledges of providing cheaper cars," Lim said at a press conference.
"But the car companies have come out to refute the reports," he added, referring to Volkswagen and Peugeot which had rejected claims of price slashing for their cars.
"This is serious and the authorities should take action against Utusan. It seems we cannot trust anything they write, perhaps we can only trust the date on the newspaper," he mocked.
The DAP secretary-general was quick to add "this is nothing personal about the journalists but the newspaper company".
Details nailing the lies released
On June 10, Utusan
carried a front-page report that 10 models of cars are now cheaper, as
their cost had reduced from between RM449 to RM12,775 (0.7 to 11
percent), from January to May this year.
The Malay-language daily said the reduction applied to models such as Peugeot, Proton, Perodua, Volkswagen and Honda.
"The government has fulfilled its promises to reduce car prices in stages when the five companies announced the price reduction of ten cars," said the report.
It also quoted the Malaysian Automotive Institute as saying that the car prices cannot be cut suddenly as that would impact the prices of used cars, bank loans, used car industry businessmen and the banking institutions which provides car loans.
Three days later, Volkswagen Malaysia said in Facebook that: "Please be advised, the price on the image is incorrect. The Golf price has always been RM157,888 from time of launch. Not RM169,888. Thank you".
Meanwhile,
Peugeot Malaysia, on the question of whether there is truth in the
price slash said: "Without prejudice, nothing was issued by us, we were
not consulted before the article went to print and have no association
with the news contained therein.
"The prices shown appear to be of the 308 Turbo pre-F/L and 308 VTi which are in fact two different variants of the Peugeot 308".
Umno's 'desperation'
Meanwhile PKR said the episode reflected the “utter desperation” of Umno in dealing with Pakatan’s '#TurunkanHargaKereta' campaign to slash car prices.
“It appears that the commitment to reduce car prices by
Umno-BN was made after it recognised how popular Pakatan’s
'#TurunkanHargaKereta' campaign was, yet until today they are unable to
find a mechanism to do so without doing away with the government’s
reliance on excise duties,” its communications director Nik Nazmi Nik
Ahmad said.
“Utusan shows that the once-proud Malay broadsheet is now a symbol of bad journalism as it acts to further the interests of its political owners, Umno.”
Nik Nazmi called on the daily to apologise immediately to the carmakers concerned, and to all Malaysians.-malaysiakini.
