No problem ts, u r not alone. I drive a myvi but own a land and farm.
Malaysians generally equates car to wealth, thats why they r slaves for life.
Loans r available to enhance the illusion of affordability for the general public.
Trust me, U will have the last laugh when the time is right to flaunt!

I totally agree bro!

Why drive a BMW when a Myvi can take u from point A to B as well.

Sure you might be less safe, might be slower, less comfortable, lose some face...

But heck... at the end of the day... with all your smart investment... when you are 80+... you can flaunt your wealth and enjoy life man! thumbup.gif

Done it before but another's get jealous than they report to BNM, lucky we are licences fund manager (overseas trading).. Now we won't accept individual or public anymore, headache with some idiot..

my clue was, in the current market got a couples of trillion money, so just enter with suite your time... your money can jump inter market one (basically we park half day each market)... 24hrs money can rotate... follow with market open 1st..

In Medan, Indonesia, state of majourity chinese businessman,
You won't see flashy cars, and barely any Merc or BMWs. (There are few people though using Vellfires and Harriers)
I heard Jakarta you maybe able to find Ferraris and lamboughs, but not in Medan.
(Oh BTW, barely any Daihatsu Sirions (MYVI) there on the road.PROTON also cant be seen on the road, although they do have dealerships in Indo)
*
You dont see Merc/BMWs in Medan cause the road/flood is BAD! My Odyssey 3.0 nearly stalled infront of Thamrin plaza due to what they consider a "minor" flood! My frens there driving 4wd/suvs all laughed at me.

Infact, the percentage of private sedans in medan is reall small.

And in case some of you think Indonesia (and look down) is entirely made up of poor Indonesian maids ,labourers, beggars, think again.
There are also millionaires and billionaires hidden in Indonesia.
But they just don't want to show their wealth out in the public.
Why? If one were to read up the history (wikipedia) of Kerusuhan Mei 1998 and you've know what I mean. The chinese there learnt it the gruelsome past.

Not relevant. I just didnt like the 3 hours jam I got into from Kelapa Gading to Grand Hyatt last week. Alphard so what... no toilet in the car still uncomfortable. bleh.

And also because in Indonesia, if you drive up a nice car, you're a potential target.
Ever heard of even side mirror of a Lexus Harrier being stolen while parked in Indonesia?
Yes I've heard of it too. Sounds silly but it had happened.

Back In Malaysia, no offense, its the culture and mentality thinking.
Car = Potrays wealth image to some.
But in Indonesia, the rich & powerful Indonesian people spend their money on rewarding themselves travelling overseas frequently and shop,dine & stay in 5 star luxury.
Wait until you see how they spend their money, your eyes will pop out.

Strange wor.... I just know my fren drove me in his Merc GL in the weekend when we go play airsoft. And got buy ferrari.. wait.. sorry.. that one is 2 frens in their 30s share.. cause no time drive so many car. When during the weekend BBQ, quite a few supercar turn up wor.

But in Malaysia, the rich & powerful Government people spend their money on rewarding themselves travelling overseas frequently and shop,dine & stay in 5 star luxury.

Car can be an INTANGIBLE investment because you & your family worth more than any of your properties & investments, NO?

High-end card normally comes with more safety equipments. Car value drops but family value grows sitting in a safer car. Wealth is more than just dollar & cent, for me at least  wink.gif

Not only that.... when you go holiday.. why stay in a 5 star hotel? Why not stay in a cheap Inn? Cause more comfort? more safety?

Applies to the car also.... u pay for the Comfort, Safety, etc.

Some peopel think the 30k they save by putting their family in a car without airbag is fine... up to them. Everyone have their own priority.

dear philosopher. do tell me the amount of millions that you have in your bank right now. rich don't need to do anything? that's the biggest joke ive ever heard. looks like the only rich that you are looking at are 20 year old kids who drives his dad's ferrari.

driving a nice car reflects what you have achieved and that makes you happy. of course, everyone has their ego to feed, just to the point of how much does the ego needs to be fed. if a young chap buys a civic with a rm1000 loan from his rm3000 loan, that's feeding way too much for his ego. if another chap gets a free civic from his dad, that's his luck. i don't see the point of butthurt in this case. all i can see these days are people with nice clothes and nice rides but can't afford a nice meal in the mall.

Um.... i puke at hotel food leh... I rather eat the 8000rp soto on the road side stall.. get free chinese tea summore! Not to mention eating rich food kills.... the cholesterol level not looking too hot these days cry.gif

Oh did I hear rich fella dun need do anything? What's the cut off point? 20m enuf? Glad to know the top 50 richest men in Msia is not working anymore tongue.gif
