Saw it on the newspaper this morning...maybe too late liao...sorry for the couples...this makes me wonder...how can a normal car jumped track?can see it is stock with no mods or what so ever...the most important thing is that our malaysian car doesnt have any safety precautions in mind when they designed the car.Seeing this accident involving another malaysian made car made me scared.I prefer buying an old old BMW or Merc rather than buying a proton.What do you guys think?
