To New Beginnings

[Tom]

Was a touching couple of days guys, to witness the moving campaigns, the huge drama of voting day, the long wait, the thrilling uncertainties, and then finally the confirmation via the words from Tun M himself. Congrats to a new era guys

I hope he don’t try to “un-sell” Proton. Geely runs good business, as seen with Volvo.

Proton is a burden to the country due to all the cronies. Even the Koreans have leapfrogged us.

I hope to see better partnership, and Proton being the mainstream brand under Geely for Asia markets, while Volvo being the premium brand.

Next, for the love of god abolish AP already.

Well Proton was his baby to begin with and one of PH manifesto is to revisit all dealings & projects with foreigners especially China, so I wont be surprised at all if he indeed "un-sell" Proton if still possible! Btw whose cronies benefited from Proton?

Well, Proton still holds 50.1%, anything is possible.....lol
Whoever who was in power benefited loh. I remember at my ex company, my sales manager tried to approach Proton for parts supply. Immediately they told him he cannot penetrate as every lock down already, you know. I know.....lol

It’s the same story as MAS. Single source suppliers with ridiculous prices. Proton isn’t competitive because the parts are all ridiculously expensive.

BN people lor, who else.

Geely should offer to sell the 49.9% at triple the price. Lol

It doesn’t make sense for Geely to sell as Proton gives them access to ASEAN market.

I hope the Boyue does well. Once results come in and bring positive change to Proton there wouldn’t be a need to sell.

Proton should rebadge the S2 Elise and stick the E01 engine inside.

 

[vr2turbo]

Buy back and fail will be worse. Just lets see what Geely can do, anyway still owner.....lol

 

[loose_end]

Still no news on new model under Proton, what is taking them so long

If he unsell its gonna be very expensive. And I agree with ur points.

Of course, they should also make me deputy CEO of Proton.

The Chinese CEO is very good, but what he lacks is the local insight & knowledge. For now, I don't think Proton should jump into the PHEV and EV bandwagon. Because a lot of buyers are still outside of urban area, so the interim is to introduce a wave of ICE

Urban buyers have moved up the food chain to Honda, as they become brand conscious. Rolling out PHEV or EV at this stage would still cost a premium as it does not have the economies of scale (compared to ICE), yet. And outside of urban area there's insufficient charging network.

1.Introduce world class ICE cars, at a competitive price point. Re-badge Geely for economies of scale so you can price it cheap.
2.Win Malaysians back to Proton, by offering affordable, safe and reliable means of transportation.
3.Once confidence is back, move to PHEV & EV.

Jumping straight to PHEV & EV, while is damn canggih, means nothing to rural folks. And laying out a charging network would be too costly at this stage.

 

[vr2turbo]

Probably need to sell both attack both rural and urban at the same time. They have so many models........lol

Then they spread themselves thin, and lose focus. Because SELLING is just one part of the equation. SUPPORT is also important.

If you sell PHEV & EV, you will need to train your after sales and service. Considering the current after sales experience is shit (limpeh go to their Centre of Excellence also shit), why don't just focus on doing existing things RIGHT, before think so much.

Don't know how to walk, wanna talk about doing marathon. Siao ker.
