CHUKAI, Dec 29 (Bernama) — The Royal Malaysian Customs Department (JKDM) has been urged to build covered parking lots to store seized vehicles in order to avoid depreciation when they are being auctioned off.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan said there was a significant price difference between the vehicles placed in covered areas, compared to those placed in open areas exposed to rainy and hot weather.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“During my visit to three JKDM enforcement offices, I was informed that the value of cars that are not stored in covered parking space is different, not as high as those in covered parking lot.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“So we are losing revenue as a result of not ‘covering’ the confiscated vehicles,” he said after visiting the Kemaman JKDM office here today.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In another development, Ahmad said Terengganu JKDM had managed to record a tax collection of more than RM5.6 million until Dec 26.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In addition, a total of 167 arrests were also recorded involving the confiscation of cigarettes, firecrackers, fireworks, vehicles and industrial commodities.<\/p>\n
