the public tender lottery system in theory should inflate the price and must be directly bidded by individual buyers only
such barriers will help control the demand and supply for those who can afford it
making principal brand as sole importer will further curtail the market
if deemed too expensive, buyers relents and buy local CKD units lah
which goes against the populist promise of cheap imported cars for the people
basically something akin to the COE system where you bid to have the luxury of owning the car.
and that means again high car prices, high unemployment if you want to stop CKD and close proton.
what does this achieve?

It's like fishing. Small ones, not worth the time. Go for the big ones first.
Imagine, no NFC, no PKFZ, no Puspahanas, etc. etc.
Good that things are getting cleaned up, right? Even the small ones.
An illegal extension is what it is - illegal. Those owners think they can get away with it but now are paying for it. Serve them right.
then the populist policy is defeated, if the people come and say, 'we vote for you and now you come hantam us and demolish out things, last time BN no come disturb also''
