MY: Foreign car levies to cost RM50

Singapore Power has undertaken a $2 billion project to upgrade the power supply network, and have built two 200 metre temporary roads, which lead the heavy vehicles directly to the construction sites from the expressway, at the cost of $4 million. The roads have been built so the heavy vehicles could bypass schools and residential areas. This comes after the rise in fatalities from accidents involving heavy vehicles – in 2013, 44 died from collisions with them, a 40% increase from the 32 in 2012.   One of the temporary roads, which opened in May and spans an extra lane of a stretch of the CTE, will allow the trucks to enter and exit the May Road construction site without utilising the cramp and narrow roads close to Hong Wen School and the residential neighbourhood around McNair Road, Towner Road and May Road. The first of the 2 roads were opened in January. Once again, an extra lane was built along a stretch of the expressway, this time the PIE, in the direction of Bendemeer in Geylang Bahru. Pictures used for illustration purposes only.

The new C-class elevates the model range to an even greater level than its rivals with a new standard of comfort and poise within the executive sedan market. Featuring technologies that were previously only available in the flagship S-class, the new baby Merc has truly grown far beyond its executive beginnings.  The new C-Class offers sensuous and clear design and a host of technical innnovations as well as a comprehensive scope of standard equipment and exemplary emissions and fuel consumption figures. this all adds up to substantial added value and long-term savings on motor vehicle tax and at filling station.
