o..nice
i thought something else

still prefer Proton become something like Perodua
Daihatsu take over the manufacturing side and let locals do the marketing/distribution

if VW can fully control the manufacturing plant in tanjung malim
we can see better quality cars
(no more GLC supplying poor quality parts to Proton)

Better quality car is what Toyota is doing to take 1st spot over GM

Now shares price will drop(some ppl have bought already) buy, when talk is is getting brighter sell lah. Many times already.

hahaha...u safe dude , for momentarily

but why Proton still acting like this ? damned , they should moved on ..not wating for their ruin

maybe waiting for damage control (from the G) to kick in
then they r safe (for a few more years)

Proton, Malaysia's loss-making carmaker, is all set to be sold to Volkswagen, who are likely to turn it into an Asian production hub. If VW plays its cards right, it might end up controlling Group Lotus as well, since the Norfolk sports car maker was acquired by Proton in 1996.






Proton Holdings Bhd¡¯s share price fell as much as 6.7% or 45 sen to
RM6.20 in early trade on March 30 as investors reacted to news report
that Volkswagen AG (VW) had withdrawn from talks of possible tie-up.

Proton opened at RM6.60, down 5 sen from the previous day¡¯s closing price
of RM6.65. Within the first hour, there were 536,000 shares transacted at
prices ranging from RM6.20 to RM6.65. At 10am, it was trading at RM6.30,
down 35 sen.

Singapore¡¯s Straits Times reported that Volkswagen had called off the
plans for a partnership with loss-making Proton.

On March 28, the government said it might miss its own end-March deadline
to strike a deal with a foreign carmaker for a partnership with Proton.

It was earlier reported the government was in talks with Volkswagen and
General Motors Corporation towards striking a strategic partnership,
including possible equity participation in Proton.

It was also in negotiations with local players such as DRB-Hicom Bhd and
Naza group of companies on how they could play a role in reversing the
fortunes of the loss-making national carmaker

angkat from where ?

IA..............

Proton killed itself since day one when they are over protected by the government and does not have the will to improve. I believe they are trying to prove that PROTON are "Daring to Dare" TO FAIL I've asked a few friends and they said that they won't be purchasing another PROTON.

Hope VW deal will change our thoughts of PROTON.

proton gave discount of about 10K for the Saga LMST. the step was so successful, it created a 3 months waiting list.

now Proton do the same thing, giving 10K discounts to the Wira 1.5 normal spec as well as Special Edition. the price now are below 40K, which is as much as a Myvi 1.0.

but,

are they worth buying at that kind of price?

Naza also are giving huge discounts for the Sorento CRDI, now selling at 115K. its the cheapest SUV in Malaysia. but is it worth buying

PM to meet Volkswagen over Proton

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is expected to meet top officials from Volkswagen over the future of national automaker Proton, a senior official said.

"A high-level meeting is expected soon. It is being arranged," the official who is familiar with the talks on a possible tie-up said yesterday.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the meeting would take place here.

Abdullah has said Malaysia may allow Volkswagen to gain a controlling stake in Proton, a move that would help improve the fortunes of the company.

The planned meeting comes as Malaysia missed a Saturday deadline to name a strategic partner for Proton, whose controlling shareholder is state investment arm Khazanah Nasional, which holds a 42.7% stake. - AFP

my toilet rosak lar PM

papers said Proton still talks to GM

source: theedgedaily

Proton is our country asset mah..

look at tis 30 march news..
Malaysia's Proton sinks on report VW ends talks

Aiyo.. Proton missed the March 30th dateline again ah?? Big company cannot make decision on time...

Its all about d ego...

I wonder what other ppl outside M'sia would think when they noe d PM himself has to step into the Proton-VW negotiations. Mayb it would then be called the "VW-Proton-Pak Lah" talk.

Even d Japanese PM did not meddle anything when Nissan was taken over by Renault.

what to do...
proton is our 'filial' child

proton is spoilt by our G
Hope they sell their car with the price which is equal to its quality..
RM60k for waja is too much.. my dad fren get a new mazda 6 from brunei @ RM65k last time.. and it's so much better in term of quality

Proton is doomed!!!!! Politics should never ever come into this. AAB should not interfeer. I am AAB fan, and now, I hope I'll still be Shameful to think, shameful to say shameful to even know

the extra money tat Proton earn will given to the politician or government or bumiputera company which supply parts for them as some income..
