Solution:
(b)(i)
Road Transport department or Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan or JPJ collects road tax on behalf of Malaysian government.
(b)(ii)
The engine capacity of Hanis’s car is 1799 cc, thus the basic rate of road tax for her car is RM200.00.

Amount of road tax that Hanis have to pay
= base rate of road tax + progressive rate for each cc exceeding 1 600 cc
= RM200 + (1799 – 1600) × RM0.40
= RM279.60
