Message: <blockquote data-quote="[PIMPIN]" data-source="post: 1063566252" data-attributes="member: 2994">Obviously with progress there are companies and employees who will lose out. Not just in the automotive industry but across the board, foreign investment will ALWAYS go to whichever country that can provide the best product for the lowest price, supported by strong local knowledge and conducive business environment created by the government of that particular country.So to continue to protect what is in effect a public listed company for the sake of the various vendors means that in the long run, Proton will lose out. Unfortunate, but that's the reality the world is facing today. Additionally, as a company by right the Board of Proton is answerable to the shareholders and they should have the shareholders best interests in mind when making all decisions and its up to the vendors to step-up. I know its easier said than done, but business is business. Money has no loyalty nor does it care about people and the lives affected but it goes to where its returns are maximized.I see where you're coming from and I agree that what you've raised is a very very real concern butthe risk of what you've highlighted becoming a reality is a very real possibility. I'm not saying I don't feel for the workers, but sometimes what the market dictates is beyond the realm of what you and I can realistically control. It's not like I'm holding the fate of all these people in my hands.Anyway, why wouldn't VW buy parts from these vendors if in future the transfer of knowledge and technology allows them to raise their standards and become one of the supply chain manufacturers within the VW group. This is what we've been discussing for the past couple of pages - the local industry rising to a level where its part of a JIT supply chain come 2020.</blockquote>
