Interest rates for car loans raised

Phew! I signed the hire purchase agreeent with the blik blik bank two weekends ago at 2.36% interest rate.

Today's news reported ...Hire purchase interest rates for new non-national cars (such as Toyota and Nissan) have increased to 3.25% for loan tenures of five years and below, 3.4% for six to seven years and 3.5% for eight- to nine-year loans.

Stupid.
Can't they make up their mind? Encourage spending with lower borrowing rates? Or protect 'Malysia Products' by raising borrowing rates of foreign makes??

  1. Toyota has “a special promotion” for its best selling model, the Toyota Vios.

    Under the promotion which is valid until the end of this month, interest rates are as low as 1.68% for a five-year loan, 1.78% for a seven-year tenure and 1.88% for nine years.
