[QUOTE="ken yeang, post: 1064584779, member: 22642"] i got a fren working in the auto spareparts supplier, selling local made parts. he said that if local part are cheap as what we know now, actually the cost of making the local parts are even cheaper.... Imagine part A is sold to consumer is RM20. Original manufacturing cost of Part A is just RM3. The profit margin is damn big. No wonder the spare part shops bosses drive Merc, wife drive SUV, etc... If the businessman wants more profit, just reduce the quality of material used in the parts....Use low quality resin, etc. Use cheapo plastic clips than Stainless. Plastic everything. No wonder all those local made auto part disintegrate so fast.....esp. when expose to hellish sun in malaysia. [/QUOTE]
