The Proton Vendors Association wants AP holders to be barred from importing cars that are in the segments of markets that Proton is in.

It’s president Dr Wan Mohamed Wan Embong outlines what they want to be implemented in the National Automotive Policy. They hope the government will consider it.


  1. Vehicles with engine capacities less than 2 liters should be barred from being imported, regardless of whether it is new or used.
  2. Approval letter should be seeked from Proton and Perodua before cars are allowed to be imported.
  3. Cars more than 5 years old should not be allowed to be imported, regardless of engine capacity, other than those classified as vintage cars.
  4. Declared price should be based on open market value decided by a council formed by the government.
  5. Excise duty must be continued indefinitely.
  6. Implement Vehicle End Of Life, where vehicles older than certain age should be declared not road-worthy, or have increased tax and other miscellaneous fees. This is to encourage new car sales.

i do think this is funny, but it would be ridiculous if becomes reality.

so, no kia spectra? mazda 3? nissan sentra? toyota corolla? honda civic, city or integra? citroen C2, C3? mini? oh, for crying out loud...

how to determine a car is not roadworthy? white smoke? faded paint? or just by age?? 30 years old car not allowed on the road? 10 years???

i have a suggestion..how about we abolish all cars 5 years and older? with one condition of course...no more sales tax and crazy custom excise. maybe can impose Certificate of Entitlement like one neighbouring country but at a cheaper rate laa...

and we can see a 4 year old Waja or Perdana V6 suddenly loses it value as it reaches its end of life cycle.

how stupid can you get with such idea?

proton still did'nt want to confess that their quality is teruk

if they can match the quality of imported car and their price are at least cheaper by rm6000 from their imported rival..i'll bet more ppl will buy proton made car..

my 2cents
5 years cycle..proton will suffer more from now
ban imported car less then 2000cc?..more people will use motorcycle or bicycle

gila ka? like ask proton wear more condom for protection lah...

2. Approval letter should be seeked from Proton and Perodua before cars are allowed to be imported.
Proton rich la,control the car market in BolehLand...the people suffer cos force to buy a no quality car(proton)!

3. Cars more than 5 years old should not be allowed to be imported, regardless of engine capacity, other than those classified as vintage cars.
even proton engine already is outdate...20years old technology... memang gilar...

encikmasen...if perdana V6 no sales tax and excise, it would be about RM50K only. he he..waja about 40K i think.

one thing bout savvy...i believe the quality in terms of build had improved tremendously since Gen2. what proton is suffering now is quality of materials used for their cars. especially the 1 piece plastic door trimboard...ouch!@!

Hah? More protection? After 20 years, still need to wear condom? WTF? Look at Peroduo... they don't need protection and doing damn well. Look at Naza, doing even better. Do they need protection?

Sad to say... Proton never learn its lesson at all! The story of 2 brothers are true after all. Sigh...

these people never use their brain.... still dont admitt the problems they have and want to do something fancy...


Anyway, with Dr.M as the consultan...this proposal have chance to become reality....later become " instead of proton, people cannot purchase other car( subcon and politician not include in this rule)" if malaysian found purchase car(s) other than proton, the car(s) will be confiscated and fine of Rm$100k will apply.......so the confiscated car can send to NAZA for sales and the fine can masuk the "people"'s pocket.....there you goes...wawasan 2020 malaysia
