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.

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?

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. whistling.gif

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 biggrin.gif

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.

That is what I'm saying. Then what we should do? Even in the US they have to campaign on TV for American to buy US Made because competition from Japanese product nod.gif
