vote whoever u like, the pakatan or the government. the end story is the same and will it continues in the next episode. this is malaysia.

if foreign cars are cheap as local cars, then local cars like proton will shut down their business. if all local cars shut down their business, maybe hundred thousands of people (local cars employees/workers) will be unemployed. if hundred thousands of malaysians are unemployed, what'll happen to malaysia? government must protect local cars due to this employment issues.
and take note that our local car technology can't compete with import cars. but at least we're still better than other countries who can't produce their own car, for example, like indonesia. indonesia's unemployment rate is terrible.

foreign trade policy... every country has one...
