Why Auto?

-Cynical Answer:

All the Malaysians who buy nice cars are just posers with no passion for driving.

-Marketing Answer:

Traffic jams make it quite hard to drive manual... Even with sports cars, Malaysian roads are too small and the attitudes too dangerous to enjoy fast cars..., so the engine's power becomes useless. Might as well drive auto by then la.

I see all the people on the Ampang flyover highway flying so fast..., might be coz its the ONLY place in town with space for their cars to stretch.
