Sabah: Perdana V6 turns to Volvo

Sabah Government is looking forward to replace their highly maintenance Perdana V6 to Volvo. I'm also looking forward to hear from BN members to comment on this since Selangor and Perak Government under Pakatan Rakyat has been fired by them as Pakatan Rakyat's State Government replacing V6 to Toyota Camry. Do you know the price of volvo is? Sabah Government said that volvo is cheaper to maintain? Do you people agree that volvo is cheaper to maintain? how about volvo vs toyota? which is cheaper to maintain? Terengganu also claim that mercedes is cheaper to maintain. It's now looks like the government under BN also disobey the instruction from their superior PM not to use other mark except Proton. So, what do you think?... Where are you now, Khir Toyo?

Sabah government to replace Perdana cars with Volvos


KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government is replacing part of its Proton Perdana official cars with Volvo cars because they will be cheaper to maintain.

Chief Minister Datuk Musa Aman said the Volvo cars, to be acquired by state government-linked Angkatan Hebat Sdn Bhd, would be used by the 12 ministers and 16 assistant ministers.

“Senior civil servants, including the permanent secretaries in the various ministries, will continue to use the Proton Perdana cars,” Musa said after the Cabinet meeting yesterday.

On another note, Musa said state officials would highlight to their Health Ministry counterparts of the existing congestion at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital here.

”We hope the Health Minister can resolve this matter as soon as possible,” he said.
