Naza to set up new RM1bil plant

[scudracer]

This is one step closer to what Malaysia should have done. Be like Thailand - assemble cars no matter what the brand. Pride has no place in business right? As long as Naza builds good cars for Malaysians to buy and enjoy at a good price, why not? No point trying to do things 100% by yourself and end up with something substandard, unreliable and that no one wants to buy!

yes..just like toyota first started long time ago...the car cannot even naik bukit,so lauyaa..they should just import european car and give the japan's tycoon more money..but unluckily for japan their citizens r very patriotic and wanted to develope their own national car... should just essembly foreign cars only...the easy,lazy and coward way

had a chat with a marshall during SSO bukit jalil last time, he claim that Naza had a very low excise duty rate even lower than the proton for it's 'national' models, but still it doesn't achive the required local components percentage.

but at least with, naza is doing a good job by bringing much more exciting models, and that RM1B plant should create a lot of job and supporting business and boost the economy. maybe we should let the market determine the price and quality, a less protective market will do the best for the consumer, then Proton (with less protection) will be more competitive, and malaysian will be able to choose the best for their money.

maybe we can took the example of what going on in japan, they (japan carmakers) are competing rigorously among themselves for their market share, so they come out with lots of JDM models, which is a lot more better than their export models, in our country is the other way around (export models are better than for local market), but the also have a population of more than 200Mill so they can maintain the economic of scale by competing locally and their auto policy also support the growth of local market.

no RnD,testing,designing..etc2..just pasang..where can go forward..sure can make money(half of it 2 foreigners) ..but till when we have 2 depend on foreigners?like p2..do u know its not a malaysian co anymore..p2 holds 49%..daihatsu 40% mitsui or something 11%..so they need to follow the japanese..now using daihatsu base..just cut n paste tech.our specs are lower.Naza even worse.and these buggers even have low taxes than P1.what do they mean by only proton got protection..do u know the aggreement that proton must be taxed so that it will not kill of P2.cos proton wanted 2 sell saga/iswara @20k plus a long time ago but govt reject cos afraid nobody will buy kancil,the other is taht p2 cannot sell cars more than 1000cc..but now what happened..naza with18% local content also can b malaysian car..inokom atos also got malaysian flag at logo ...just my opinion.
