funny, once upon a time I had a friend who swore that handphones will never be less than RM500. He told me about the raw materials crap story too.
Friend, I used to use my company's Mobira Talkman on Atur 450 mobile phone. It was something like RM18,000.
Today, the Rm89 Nokia 1200 is far smaller, cheaper and better yet much cheaper. How come they never stopped production?
My Sony analogue handycam cost RM20,000 too when I first bought. Funny how come can get a Sony hadnycam now for RM800 even. But how come they never stopped production?
You need to start shaving first....
you are talking without logic or manufacturing background.. this theoretical RM999 50inch plasma will be 30-40KG thing made out of 30KG ot metal, plastics and electronics.. bos you know how much is raw material for 30KGs worth of grade A virgin raw material parts (without processing/manufacturing/molding/metal stamping) or not?

those examples you given are 100gm to 2kg items.
also, due to bulk weight, significant distribution and warehousing costs will already eat into a RM999 plasma's retail price.
besides unless you can show me a RM999 plasma, your assumption of a RM999 is dead wrong.
you can't even show me a RM999 34inch jap brand CRT TV, still want to talk so much.
