Message: <blockquote data-quote="FVel" data-source="post: 2270048" data-attributes="member: 48425">David,Personally, I thought Tun Mahatir had the correct idea. I believe the national carmaker needed all the help it could get from the government to get started. Otherwise it would have been an impossible task just to get the necessary market share to build a solid foundation for the future. Protectionalism in itself was not the problem. The problem is with the 'Boleh-lah, tidak-apa-lah' attitude that seems to be part of this country's work ethics.Instead of using all those 20+ years of head-start help, Proton simply squandered away the opportunity. It got rich (for a while) collecting all those $$ from EON Finance but never really capitalize on it with some meaningful improvement. It just lived off the fat and when Perodua came in and when foreign brands started making a comeback, Proton found itself losing market share.When was the last time you heard someone complain about Perodua quality. With Proton the complaints are practically endemic. Now where is Proton ? ....in the red and desperately looking for a partner. What I find amusing is that they are still sticking to their guns, insisting on their terms. The truth is Proton has been snubbed by every prospective partner it has recently tried to court ......the latest of which is Volkswagon. Come on lah Proton...beggars can't be choosers. Don't la pretend as though you are negotiating from a position of strength. It is like a discarded bride still insisting on her beauty when she'll be lucky to find someone willing to go to bed with her.By comparison Perodua runs a solid and tight ship, partnering with Daihatsu (major shareholder), and quietly go about their affairs with efficiency and more importantly, with tangible results. And all this as the new kid on the block.</blockquote>
