This is just a smoke screen to ensure proton continue to live a vegetative state - Problem-plagued Proton ‘in trouble’

DRB-Hicom Bhd will announce a working plan to remedy problems faced by national carmaker Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Bhd (Proton) next month, said its chief operating officer Che Khalib Mohamad Noh.

The plan is paramount and if not implemented could bring serious negative consequences to DRB, a major investor in Proton, said Che Khalib.

“Proton is in trouble and if we don’t solve Proton’s problem, not only Proton would go down but the whole DRB will go down,” Che Khalib said


How I reduce the risk of being fleeced by them bloodsucking insurance company? I undervalue my insurance policy. ie, an RM100k car value is insured for only RM70k, you pay way lesser and mitigate the risks myself. I only need the coverage for the roadtax issuance anyway.

Older cars also seems to have better quality actually. Car in the 90's even only smaller class like Lancer still has synthetic leather wrapped dashboard and door panels. Now prices are so high but yet the quality is much lower! Just look at cars even up to 140k the dash are still just bare plastic!

They will blame your accessories for the faulty part in order not to claim the part. Face it on Toyota... They blame my VS for my faulty headlight switch.

Warranty? Screw that if you add in some parts

here's a thought.

The average m'sian takes a 7 year loan on cars these days because they are too expensive. 9 years in some case. If you're slightly better off, 5 years. So that means the govt doesn't want cars on the road anymore? At the same time public transport is absolutely rubbish?

Hooray for the G.... hidup G.. hidup M'sia.. we're all gonna die! Woohoo!

So the next time you buy a brand new car...take a 9 year loan n by the 5th year, send for crushing n claim total lost to repay the balance 4 years of the loan. if that doesn't work...then congrats cos you are in even deeper shitloads of loan to repay on top of all the other BS.

I seriously doubt 2mill is the actual figure of "vehicles" on the road that are older than 5 years old. just look around you. are there really only 2 cars aged above 5 years out of 10 cars? a 2004 honda city is already 8 years old now but can still fetch 35k in the 2nd hand market out there which people will still normally take a 7-9 year loan on it.

the validity of the statistics sounds as valid as the crime rate statistics - that crime is very low in Malaysia.

no official news can be trusted.

Didnt you know, 80% of the time, statistics are made up on the spot 90% of the time. Percent, time percent.

This thing happened because many workshops cheat insurance companies and also some 'smart' people who don't wanna fix their car and just create 'an accident' for refurbish their cars (some times ago very popular if someone wanna swap engine). Windscreen insurance is the most common thing happen and it can consider an open secret. I believe this matter had been argued by the gov and insurance companies for many times and then settle to be like current regulations.

CSL...windscreen scam. there is a shop here in bukit indah (for those who know this area, the property prices increased 300% within 4 years) which advertises itself as windscreen claims specialist workshop. i had a crack in my widscreen 2 years ago n stopped by to check how much it would cost to get it fixed or worse, change it. the first thing the boss asked me was....got insurance? i said no. he said no insurance he wont do. these guys specialize only in windscreen insurance scams and are doing it openly and it is very obvious they are making shitloads of $$$. i further asked him...if i want to order a windscreen to change without insurance...how much. he answered around rm1100. I finally changed my windscreen at MCIS in senawang for a total of RM450 including installation n a years warranty.
