While I certainly not agree on single EV is as dirty as three hybrids, I do agree that there is no rush to phase out ICE car too quickly...

BUT, Toyota really should start more invests in EV as EV really is the future here.

Hydrogen until now has not proven its worth in US, especially in California, a lot of the Mirai owner has complain hydrogen is more expensive than petrol/diesel. The only way for future is Green hydrogen.

The hydrogen temporarily station at Putrajaya cost RM15mil to set up, just for 50kg storage only, the cost of petrol station cost mostly about RM3-4mil (large one), one DC charger maybe cost RM200k for 2 bay. How to breakeven in long run with the high storage cost of hydrogen.

Probably will prevail in Sarawak where they have green hydrogen production using hydro

To me, Toyota is like a kid shouting for attention at an abandoned corner.  After a while, the kid will crawl out to join the other boys because he has no one to play with.

They are no.1 car maker in the world in terms of volume sold. Not a kid but a world leader that others will listen to

You mean you want Toyota to suffer the same fate like 400 Chinese EV makers that has ceased operations in China for the past 5 years?
