Proton has been helpful to the middle/low income? What kind of sorcery are you quoting here?
First of all, if that piece of crap company did not exist, there would be no reason to impose tax on all the other cars out there. AFTA could have moved into Msia LONG ago and our 'poor and middle class' ppl can be driving much safer and better cars like Honda City/Toyota Vios, and such.
Pls know what you're saying before typing it and looking like a dumbass.

No sorcery, just facts. And I know what I'm saying.
Of course, the Malaysian gov. impose more tax on foreign-branded cars in order
to promote local cars (Proton). That's the reality here.
If you're in the economics analysis field, then you can see. (well, maybe you're not)
Which is why foreign-branded cars are more expensive in Malaysia compared to other countries which don't have their own automobile company. Thus, price of Proton cars still lower than the foreign cars here in Malaysia.
Only if you have power to change this gov. policy, then u can buy your fav.
Toyota or Honda cars which is 'safer' for a cheaper price.
Most people don't have money to buy a Toyota or a Honda then they go bashing at Proton.
It's not like really love Proton cars and I know there may be some issues in the Proton Holdings but try to be more open minded.
I love Japanese cars too like the Evo.
My family have a Waja that have been with us for 7 years. And now is just fine as and never caused us any problem.
What I'm trying to say is, don't talk like people will get into accident just because they buy Proton cars.
Even driving a Camry can involve you in a fatal accident if you drive like hell.
The basic thing is driver skill and attitude.
I hope you get what I'm trying to say. If you don't, then just be quiet and go buy or play your Honda or Toyota 'kay. Cheers~~
