Perak to auction Pakatan's Camrys

IPOH, April 21 - Moving swiftly to erase any vestiges of Pakatan Rakyat rule in Perak, the Barisan Nasional government plans to auction 15 Toyota Camry 2.4 cars used by the previous administration.

The reserve price for the cars, which were registered on Jan 9, is RM148,000.

Only the car with the plates AGS 10, used by ousted mentri besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, will not go under the hammer as the PAS lawmaker has already booked it.

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir's administration had earlier ended the service of 81 village chiefs and have called for an assembly sitting on May 7, to confirm him and unseat current speaker V. Sivakumar from Pakatan Rakyat.

Zambry is also being sued over his position by Nizar, who just won the Bukit Gantang parliament seat.

The Nizar administration ordered the Toyota Camry as official cars after it won the state in Election 2008, citing pricey maintenance for the ageing Proton Perdana limousines.

Bernama reported today that Perak will hold the auction between May 4 and 18, citing the tender note sent to the advertising divisionof a Malay daily.

The tender statement issued by the Perak State Secretariat said the auction would be carried out at the car park of the Bangunan Perak Darul Ridzuan here, from 9.30am until 4pm.

The cars are with the registration numbers AFD11, AFD22, AFD33, AFD55,AFD66, AFD77, AFD88, AFD99, AFD333, AFD999, AFF33, AFF88, AFF99, AGS828 and AEU606.

The statement also said that all the cars were bought new and used between one and two months with low mileage and under three-year warranty by the manufacturer.

Anyone intending to purchase the cars must submit their offer before noon on May 18.
