As a Malaysian, do we really like to see our very first car maker Proton to be close down after all these years? We were once very proud to have our own Malaysia-made car when the Saga was first introduced to the market. We been through of over 20 years of development, and we have to admit that, our cars has not been competitive enough to the other foreign car makers in these days. What is the root of causes for such thing happen to our national car? Is it that we anak Malaysia not given enough support to our national car? Or is it that our national car has been given too much a protection that simply makes it a ’spoilt child’? Is it too late to rescue this spoil child or should we give it a second chance? How about implementing a different ‘parental’ policy ? Will it works in this fast changing environment?
