thanks...
Even i came from Malaysia but i never proud of Proton.. and i believe most Malaysian also feel the same.. Malaysia is only can proud with the Twin-Tower, other than that it still a third-world, abit worst than Thailand...
the main reason is our local car especially Proton is a goverment subsidy company... And due to this the goverment of Malaysia is protecting too much for Proton.. Even Proton own Lotus(The British sport car manufacture), it atcually is bought by using goverment money(taxpayer) and give it to Proton..
Every import-brand car is given heavy tax but not to Proton and other local brand eg Naza, Perodua, Inokom.. But only Proton which getting the most protection and privilege from our goverment... And more than 95% of Proton car sold in the world is came from Malaysia..
The Chevy A160 sold in Malaysia at RM70,000 include the more-than 100% of duty and tax. Proton Waja(Impian in UK) is only RM60,000 where less than 5% of tax is taken...
Currenty Naza is also assemble and selling a Hafei Lobo Brio which name Naza Sutera, which price tag is RM40,000 after include all the stupid tax and duty..
Until today Proton still selling car which first introduce in 1985 which just been facelift again and again with same chassis.. Proton still never make own engine except the engine is bought from Mitsubishi and Renault.. And among the main problem is their car quality..
And recently Proton sales keep dropping and Perodua is overtake Proton and become the best-selling car in Malaysia...
