This is an extremely stupid justification of maintaining Proton. You forget that before Dr M decided to start Proton as his pet project, many overseas car manufacturers were looking at making Malaysia their regional production hub - even with the goddamn 51% share nonsense. Why? Because we're more stable than Thailand. But no...we started up Proton so they all went to Thailand instead who welcomed them with open arms.

If it weren't for Proton, there will still be a thriving automotive industry here hiring hundreds of thousands of workers. However, the difference is that we'll all be driving Vios and City instead of those goddamn Sagas.

Better, no?

Don't be too negative. All car mfr started with poorly designed car also. Some ppl says not feasible because small population, but the mat salleh told me that Sweden has much less population than Malaysia but Volvo is famous. Just need to improve the quality.

The only question is..... is our market will have extra 250,000 jobs that ready for this group of people.
And let the bigger picture... anyone who related with proton will kena.. will lose their job too...

Find me a replacement car with tebocas engine lotus handling auto light auto wiper cruise control pedal shift 6 airbag esc reverse cam huge ass interior pls under 70k

A whole lot of cars - IF we didn't have that stupid tax and import duties protecting Proton.

OK, so there's no Lotus handling but what the fucuk gave you the idea that all Proton cars had Lotus handling anyway? The GTI was tuned by Lotus. Aside from that, Lotus kinda helped out in developing the handling for Proton but what about it? The average Proton handles worse than most Japanese cars in the same range.

Yes, we get paid for the jobs but still colony country

Just privatized it and stop feeding on this baby. It will never grow competitive in the industry if the mummy continue to feed.

List down those cars please

We got fed up waiting for them to improve their quality after all these years. Should just cut off the protectionism and force competition on them. Sink or swim. Drastically improve their quality quickly or go bankrupt.

How about you list down which Proton car actually has Lotus Handling? Here I'll start:

Satria GTI.

Go on, any more? Which other Proton car actually has better handling than their Toyota and Honda counterparts?

How different is that to having factories like Sony and Western Digital in this country?

I don't see Malaysia trying to make an impact in the consumer electronics sector, which really was what should have happened instead. We should have formed a company that could eventually become something like Samsung instead of wasting all our resources on Potong.

Mahathir does not have as much foresight as people give him credit for.
