QUOTE(ChrisWeiYuan @ May 7 2014, 04:43 PM) But it still work like SOE style. Privatized as in wholly privatized. It is already a private company. With full protection though.  Privatize a private company? How about remove the protection?  |

QUOTE(Boy96 @ May 7 2014, 04:37 PM) Have u tried driving a Vios at speeds over 190? That thing floats like a boat And which Proton can even hit that speed? If they do, how is their handling?  Let's not count the GTI, because I can than rope the Celica into the picture. |

QUOTE(Zot @ May 7 2014, 04:39 PM) Sony WD ... same thing. People also used to laugh at Japanese product, then Taiwan, then China....Actually we are the focus of electronic industry first when Korea was not heard of. But then we are still working for foreign companies. They like us because we don't copy And how is it now? How many world-class and renowned companies do we have? People were laughing at Proton cars before, and they still are. When are Proton going to stop being the laughing stock? How long more do we have to wait? Its been 20+ years. |

What i'm trying to say is to remove the protection, the best way is to let the other capable private company to do. DRB is GLC right? correct me if im wrong.Privatize a private company? How about remove the protection? I believe that most of the strategies or management are being controlled by Government too. This post has been edited by ChrisWeiYuan: May 7 2014, 04:56 PM |

No more free lunch for them. |

Or you rather let them rot in the streets/rampant crime/rempitz? Or you just think about yourselves only? inb4 i dont care |

QUOTE(ALeUNe @ May 7 2014, 04:41 PM) Proton doesn't float @ 190km/h? I'd been in Preve CFE at 200 km/h on PLUS highway. Driver even let his hands of the steering wheel at that speed to show how stable it is. Handling and engineering are good but quality left alot to be desired. My car was cruising at 200KM/h from KL to JB. A white Vios tailgated my car from KL to Pagoh and it went past my car like a bawse after Pagoh. Real story.  |
