3) long term/political view. We don't want to support the local industry if we can help it. With all the subsidies from taxpayers and protection they get, they could have done us a favour when we were younger by pricing the then Wiras, Kelisas and Kancils a lot lower (like in Aussie and UK), but chose to potong our leher. Furthermore, supporting foreign cars will given an indication to foreign manufacturers that we are ready to move on from local cars and encourage them to move in more aggressively (like VW atm). So, middle finger to locals.
