after 50 years got "cheated" and "scammed".....still am getting it...
no difference....
lol....
what has Proton given back to the nation?... rather we sold our opportunities of Honda, Toyota, Isuzu, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan , Subaru , Suzuki....setting up plants here....
Even Geely plans to setup their EV plant in Thailand....not Malaysia....why?.. Malaysia has one of the biggest passenger car footprint....compare to Thailand...
Proton has been a real big torn in the country progression to excel in car automotive IMO...so how many parts today from Geely are sourced from local products?.....at least if it was other car automakers, we would probably have SMEs booming as part suppliers regionally and possibly international.... instead....we put all hope into this 50 years of "liability"....enriching a few, under the expenses of citizens....
49% Geely....pffttt.... for what la Proton?.... just sell it off, and let the brand die.
drop your excise tax of 105% to 33% la....F-k Proton/Perodua, and ask them to compete.
proton pre-geely was problematic because of power train right? the fuel guzzling engine and punch cvt. but one thing proton did especially under syed zainal was a R&D heavily on EV 15 years ago. they basically look forward to prepare for post-ICE era. but najib admin at that time had it enough with proton and ask khazanah to sell to other party with agreement to do JV with any foreign entity.
if only proton able to do EV on its own,.... whatever.
