While I am in admiration for Mahaleel to defend Proton and also of Mahathir's support for Proton, I am saddened that as a consumer, I have little choice but to buy Protons at inflated prices. Protons are sold much cheaper in the UK than in Malaysia, transport cost notwithstanding. How come?
If "cheap" Korean cars really cost RM11,000 how come we don't seem to be able to buy these "dumped" cars at that price at our local Kia or Hyundai showrooms?
And what exactly is the relationship between Rafidah and Naza Motors? Who are the proxies? What are the vested interests? Where is the transparency? Are the conflicts of interest healthy?
Proton also has to admit it is not beyond producing lemons. Recent blunders include the Tiara, Putra and Juara. Maybe it would make sense to design cars that people actually want to buy if you want to increase your market share. Or is this too difficult a concept to comprehend by the spoon-fed "let's ask for a Govt subsidy mentality" of the management at Proton?
