The Star has reported that the Royal Malaysian Customs has begun a clampdown on luxury cars bought in Langkawi and Labuan but used here more than the allowed period. 22 cars with a total value of RM25.8 million have been confiscated by the Customs. The cars were found flaunting Article 21A of the Customs Duty Order (Exemption) 1988 for not paying the duties. Article 21A stipulates that cars bought on the islands of Langkawi or Labuan may not be kept away for more than a month each time, or for more than a total of 90 days a year. The cars, namely supercars and super luxury cars were taken out of the duty-free islands for more than the allowed period.
About time.
