New National Car - Tun M

[ixeo]

Why is he returning to his dictator ways. Malaysia don't need a new national car. Proton has been proven to be a failure, even when they have the engineering prowess of Lotus.

What we need, is better education, better healthcare, better public transportation, BETTER ROADS (niaseng road like shit wanna talk about cars).

The downfall of Proton is all the cronies in the supply chain. And sure enough the cronies of Tun M is coming back.

no.. nope.. dont want.. never...

just move on with it.. proton is still belong to malaysia...still malaysian car coz major owner still malaysian company....


just dont waste resource trying to recreate another brand...

No point creating another brand and the cars not good enough for export. If it’s just domestic market what for? Doesn’t help increase the income of Malaysia as a country.

Instead should incentivize existing foreign car companies to establish their factories here. Creating jobs for Malaysians.

Honestly, not too surprised if he is still like that! Do you really think a 93 yr old person can still drastically change their ways just like that?? Even 40+ yrs old already very difficult to change, never mind such old age leh. :lol:

And no, absolutely no need for another white elephant project! Instead, just get rid of the existing white elephant that has made Malaysia suffers with probably the second most expensive car prices in the world for decades now.

agree with better roads.
With the investment to jumpstart new project, use it for road recondition. Bring back F1.
New road wont stay flat after 2-3 yrs. Is wavy, water stagnant ...u name it.
Importantly, things that benefit public. Not burden us with another shitty loans.

For me roads here are already pretty decent, at least the places I have visited so far. I would though prefer better infra network for public transport, especially MRT/LRT supported by more efficient bus network too. And of course much cheaper car prices but with much tougher loan requirements! This way people who can really buy cars are those who can really afford them, not just paying so peanut DP with like 10 years of loans! Hopefully that can help manage traffic congestion.

Cannot export, domestic consumption is too little to have another national car......lol

Roads in segambut/jinjang and klang are terrible !. Always have to slow down because of potholes. And they are everywhere along the roads, only our highways are great.

Never been to Segambut/Jinjang but I've been to some area in Klang and seems not so bad, at least compared to my home country! :lol:

Is because you have seen worse.......lol

I think no need to "get rid" of Proton now. With Geely in charge, they will not let it fail. And Proton is an entry point for the ASEAN market for Geely. Their Tanjung Malim plant is already ready to be re-tooled and used by Geely.

I have confidence in Geely, because being a typical Chinese company they will make sure they will profit from their investments. Volvo is a very good benchmark of Geely's management prowess.

I think he's nothing more than talk at this point. So far all his political decisions are extremely smart in terms of killing off his opponents and the opposition but this national car bullshit again doesn't make any sense. What's his rationale? Anyway until something is properly penned out it's nothing more than just talk

Hope not since the first one already failed.......lol

I guess the man really love cars, but he's going at it the wrong way. He should do it the Thailand way, that create jobs and a healthy market.
