2. Malaysians will not be able to buy it for a long time but even though the car was designed for the world market it would first appear on Malaysian roads.
3. It is a small car, designed by Italdesign Giugiaro and Proton designers and engineers in Turin. For a small car it is very spacious and has many innovative features. It can actually seat up to five adults and comes in three versions. There will be three more versions later.
4. The completed car which was the principal attraction has a hybrid engine. But ordinary Internal Combustion Engine can also be installed and would cost less than the hybrid. However, no price has been fixed yet.
5. Malaysian journalists present have already reported on the car. I am just adding for the visitors to my blog.
6. I may be wrong (and as usual many comments will tell me I am wrong) but I think the journalists and the hundreds of motorcar enthusiasts who visited the stand were impressed by the many unique features of the car.
7. If this car proves to be a success it may mark the true recovery of Proton.
early warning for a depressing post so…here we go. the failure in proton to capitalize on the chinese market is shameful. asia for asia…is a no show for our car maker, not even asean. the speed of protons growth or the lack of it play s a huge role in this failure. when proton was launched i was expecting it to have such an impact in south east asia but ironically its marketing plan seem to aim at champion kampung. i was hoping a succession of evolution, area after area, malaysia first then later the region but?….to be fair, no one foresaw the chinese market except vag, volkswagen audi group, who ignored americas propaganda and continued to work with the communist but had proton monitored and follow the development speed of the auto industry even within the region, i am sure the chinese car market eventhough 3% of it would be a huge benefit to proton. today, china has overtaken proton in auto technology and its far too late…proton also completely fail in capitalizing lotus technology too, their reseach and development are early developers of active suspension, fully variable valve technology, light weight concepts in sound suppression and many more.
…i also am quite beleaguered that right in front of proton was a pass to succeed! the japanese. no, not that we borrow their technology and borrow everything but why didnt we do what they famously did? copy. copy then evolve from there, this is the most talked about history lesson in the world by industrialist all over the world yet proton failed here too. borrow and copying are different, when we copy we see why but when we borrow or buy we just take and apply.
today, china has surpassed what was deemed impossible before in selling more ferraris than the united states of america.
does proton have hope? of course it does…how? the japanese again but this time its the marketing consultants. somewhere in the early 90s porsche was facing sales problem and they hired a japanese consultant which changes porsches fortunes so drastically. mercedes-benz too had huge problem after they found out in the early 80s that the average buyers to the marque was 55 years old and sales were slowing down so they too hired people who use to work with toyota as consultants and now is back on track as a major car company with the average age in sales dropping to mid 30’s thanks to the 190e model…then later the c-class and today the b-class and a-class. the core area is this, the ticket the japanese played with both porsche and mercedes-benz, how to make the brand very active and exciting…and this was to bring down the year a model is renewed…for mercedes-benz it was 7 years to 5 years…how long was the wira and saga platform being sold? wow a complete contracts. another area was to add more variations to the line, more models, less years in production means… consistently coming up with new models to excite the market carrying the brand.
the intelligent bit of all this is technology, how to be a versatile car manufacturer yet keep everything low cost, parts sharing, modular platform like the new audi a6 which is a significantly smaller car to the a8 and even shorter than its older model a6 yet shares its platform with the latest a8.
i think proton needs to go with the flow too especially with this brilliant double clutch technology now offered by ford in malaysia. it wins on easy of use, feel and sportiness compared to belt driven gearboxes which have suffered negative customer feedback from its odd feel factor. i can see an exciting proton, handling by lotus, 6 speed double clutch only without the need to open two plants to make an auto and manual, just make one gearbox that fits all lowering manufacturing cost, direct injection, high-tech turbocharged 1,100 – 1,300cc engine producing 130hp, the same formula used by bmw with its 3.0 turbocharged engine which deliver high torque at 1,500 rpm only. this set up would be very frugal yet attractive in performance.
what kills the exora? that 4 speed auto is just terrible on a low torque high revving engine on a heavy car
Salam Tun,
I decided to use this Chapter of your blog. it is regarding the recent news of Mahindra bought over Ssangyong. The deal is less than USD500million. This is after recently Volvo being sold to China Geely.
As for Mahindra they set out the vision to be a global SUV player, so they need to buy into Ssangyong, a company which became the test bed for Mercedes before they entered into the SUV market. By buying into Ssangyong, they obtain the know how and transfer of technology.
As you know, that Mahindra is captained by Anand Mahindra, sad to say that he is not an OXBRIDGE rather Magna Cum Laude, Harvard as well as well as MBA from Harvard. He went back to India to serve the country and its people. Which we had these kind of people within Khazanah.
Look at Indian Companies now being major players in the auto industry, TATA bought into Daewoo, with Jaguar and Range Rover and Mittal buying into US Steel.
My question here is Tun, as andvisor to Proton, where is PROTON heading?
No point of being proud having RM5billion in your account if you can’t use that money for the benefits of reaping another RM10-15billion.
No use of parading to the world that PROTON built its factory in Behrang for RM2billion using its own resources if it can’t use that to its advantage of producing and advancing better cars at a Global market.
I remembered sometime ago, the OXBRIDGE boys of Khazanah wanted to sell of Lotus. All these boys think of is selling national assets like SilTerra, etc. They do not want to nurture companies and they only want easy things to handle like Hotels and Expressways.
Obviously, we have lost the plot. Your tutoring of being fearless and think big has gone no where but the Indians have taken your example and leading the way. How sad.
Therefore, Tun where do we go from here? Proton needs clear heading as to where the market is and chart its course.
Would like to hear from you on your vision for Proton.
** JANGAN DI LAYAN S..TAN YANG ASYIK MEMBANGKANG DENGAN KEPALA LUTUT **
TOYOTA,NISSAN DAN HONDA pun ada masalah.Lebih serius dari proton.
setakat tingkap tak boleh naik n turun tak payah la memekik kat Tun…bukan dia yang buat komponen tu pun.
Lihat diri kita sendiri sebagai rakyat malaysia, sudah cukup baguskah kita berkerja atau berniaga? sudah mencapai tahap budaya kerja rakyat jepun,korea dan eropah?
Rakyat kita sendiri punca masalah-masalah pada proton, dari tuan punya vendor,pembekal bahan mentah,pekerja di vendor,pekerja proton dan pengurusan proton.
kat mana Tun terlibat kalau tingkap keta proton tak boleh naik? takkan jadi penasihat proton kena pi check production.agak-agak la nak memekik dan sindir orang tua. apa kata datuk atau nenek anda yang di sindir dan di kutuk oleh orang? sakit hati?
hormatilah Tun jika bukan sebagai mantan PM pun hormatilah sebagai orang yang lebih tua.

Congratulations once again. I love the fact that Proton is seriously thinking of Hybrid engines. The people in Proton should be proud.

Dear YAB Tun, salam mesra harap sihat sejahtera. Minta izin menjawab pertanyaan seorang pengirim. Dgn izin di akhir perbincangan….
Menjawab pertanyaan sdr ‘JJJ’ on March 9, 2010 10:34 AM. Lewat krn tersekat.
> Domination of nations wealth
30% is definitely asking too little! But look at the reality on the ground not political propaganda figures. Economy is both private and public sector. Add the control of wealth in these two sectors then cry if you only have miserable 30%!
As a wild suggestion, other races will gladly exchange their private sector business and jobs for those jobs and business in public sector. 35% of pop can survive well living off the public sector, I wonder how 65% (bumi) of pop will survive in the private sector (excl foreign holdings). Let this 65% sweat it out in the private sector (and compete among themselves), while other races enjoy the security and comfort of public sector controlled job and businesses.
You are hoodwinked, bumis have only 20% of private sector, but excludes 95% of govt enterprises which a political party division heads and cronies control (off parliamentary budget). 60% (by Co) of top 20 Co on bursa is GLC. Read my replies on this in ‘Gaza-PGPO/VIVA Palistina aid convoy’ on January 21, 2010 3:34 PM and the responses mentioned.
> Disputing DEB
The dispute is in implementation and interpretation. Not against uplifting Malays capability and standard of living. It excludes swimming pool homes for Penang Umno division heads (Penang CM past and present dont have such homes), Bali mansions,kampung palace, honorary govt and GLC posts, 1mil in luggage bag, 10mil at money changer, a few mil in the house, Disney escapades, The deafening silence on these is in stark contrast to ‘Allah’ controversy. Which is the greater sin? Which is happening, which is imagined?
If monopoly by other races impoverishes Malays, who is to blame for the poor Malay dominant states of Kelantan, Terengganu, Perlis, Kedah. If other races greedy, why are Malays in Selangor Perak Penang Johor richer than the east coast states?
> Hopeless govt
Tun condemns Israelis frequently. It means all Israelis useless and can do no good?
> Putting down Proton?
Automotive aspiration is good but not the Proton approach. Tying back everybody for Proton
This is a very good idea with great potential, looking forward to ride on a Proton.

Pada sdr ‘MS7’on March 11, 2010 8:52 AM and those ‘anti sceptics’
………….SAKIT HATI DAN SAKIT KEPALA
My point is about technology and business benefits of Proton venture and the protectionist policy against internal and external competition. I did not compare the quality or sales of Proton with those countries. Whatever Proton achieved (re badging, buying engine technology, buying designs), others have done without the protectionism.
Sdr kena tambah modal akal, jika tidak asyik sakit hati, fikir orang benci barang M’sia saja bila komen tentang Proton. Saya kepala sakit ada panadol, sdr hati sakit?
………….INSULT OR CRITICISM
I did not insult local product. I am condemning the misguided belief and policy that gave birth to this product by pointing out the consequences. Proton’s poor external sales is the result of protection.
I am proud even if M’sians can just make the best screws or bicycles. Remove your myopic patriotism lens and you will see what I mean. Passion for Proton is not the only route for patriotism
………….COPYCAT
Muslims learn to be good Muslims by copying the Prophet’s behaviour. Japan Taiwan Korea started by copying western technology. We should too, but here only one company is favored while others are curtailed.
Japan China India Korea Taiwan had many ‘copycats’ which ensures they will eventually go on to originality. M’sia depends on one protected copycat only! Boleh ke? Lihat apa yg dapat lepas 25thn? Fikir, Jepun Korea meniru juga dulu, tapi tak sampai 25thn!
My original point is those countries are a great challenge to Proton due to their engineering capability and reputation. You brought up subject of their car sales and quality. See the difference? A professor teaching history means his maths is poor?
…………..RESTRICTION AND BANS
M’sia restricts its citizens from buying other cars (via anti WTO punitive taxes). It did not outright ban sales or imports only. It is narrow minded to perceive comparing as being proud of other countries.
I am not against a local automotive industry or local product (repeat). I am against holding back everybody else, for Proton’s sake. My arguments are in this direction not anti M’sian product. So don
salam Tun,
Thank you Tun for your firsthand idea to have our very own national car, F1 circuit, any many-many more. No matter what stupid critics the political opposition party leaders/members brag about,you stand still. Today, i wonder how many PAS, DAP and other opposition members are driving these cars (sure perak opposition MP only proved camry), shopping at KLCC, and watch F1 live from Sepang/TV?
Izinkan Tun
to those who said ‘membazir’, ‘batu nisan’, etc.. dengan ucapan, “tak malu ka pegi KLCC, drive keta Proton lak tu ?”
Saya sayang Tun,
Saya support barangan Malaysia tetapi saya tidak support Proton.
Saya ada kereta Proton Waja yang saya beli sejak 2002. Sy buat maintenance dan repair dia macam2. Asyik rosak ja
Sy boleh cakap ibarat hanya jutawan saja boleh pakai Proton ni. Rosak memanjang. Bila rosak dah tentu kena repair. Repair mahal lak tu.
Repair repair dan repair ja.
Sy suggest pengurusan Proton wujud satu jawatan baru iaitu Quality Engineer. Ini kerana Quality Engineer yang ada sekarang ialah pengguna sendiri. Berapa juta rakyat Malaysia yang bawa Proton sebenarnya ialah Quality Engineer. Mereka spend ribu2 duit repair repair dan repair dan report kerosakan sampai pada Proton. Maka barulah Proton buat improvement.
Yang jadi mangsa pengguna Proton sendiri.
Jadi belilah barangan Malaysia, tapi kalau nak beli Proton fikir sejuta kali. Hanya jutawan saja mampu maintainance Proton.
Salam Tun…
Syabas dan tahniah saya ucapkan di atas keluaran model baru proton EMAS.. Cantik dan nampak sporty..

Dearest YAB dan DiKasihi Tun,
GOOD LUCK TO PROTON!
I hope the car is going to be a success. Thanks Tun.
** May Allah SWT bless Tun & family **
Do u know what happen Toyota? Even Toyota make a biggest mistake and now become headlines around….So understand nothing is perfect in this world..End of Story
I wonder if this new Proton concept car (EMAS) have air bags installed. Hmmmmm… it seems to me that Proton do not put safety in priority for the cars they built. Look at our Proton Perdana. NO AIR BAGS. Is it they don’t know the important of Air Bags or they just lupa nak install….hahahaha……….
Salam Tun and Family,
Just to express my thoughts. I beg your pardon.
It’s kind a soothing to find out that we eventually making a progress on our national car. I myself drove a decent Proton car. To be honest, I would be proud of my country and nation above everything else. However, it is noted that a few Malaysians have been critising their own Proton all this while. If based on my experience driving Proton, I believe that this could be due to the followings:
i. Comparatively, other cars are becoming better and cheaper. So they think they deserve relatively the same. Some Malaysians would like to save more on monthly car installment while driving cars with a quality as good as Toyota.
ii. Malaysians indirectly pay huge sum of taxes to G’ment through car ownership. Maybe 1/3 of their monthly car installment goes to G’ment for tax. This does not include road tax, toll, increasing fuel price and all other burdens. However, some of them don’t get the assurance that the money paid were efficiently used for the country benefit simply beacuse they felt poorer than before due to inflation. Worst yet, they will be very angry if they found out that government officers and or ministers becoming richer day by day due to pilferages.
iii. To avoid all the burden in owning a car or at least a second car, some of them would like to opt for Public Transport. However, Malaysian Public Transport in general is yet to become a convenient and reliable means of transport.
I myself would not going to allow other people from diferent country to condemn Malaysia and Proton. To me only Malaysian have the right to criticise Malaysia and the Proton. But with all this talk, I think the above concern is not entirely wrong. If this is to be addressed, I believe that the critism on Proton and Malaysia will subside.
Your advice is required.
My 2 cents,
Dear Tun,
I am very impressed with the performance Proton has shown from the very beginning till now. I am not sure why are there so many expressed their disgusted feelings about owning a Proton.
I am very certain that many of those who complain too much have yet to learn to be grateful.
And some don’t even know what are they talking about…those remarks made were just blurted out of dissatisfaction.
As for Tun, hope you will continue to write your journey in this world, at least to me I can see the world through your eyes.
Thank you Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Madeline

Jangan lari topic… Your comment here is about local automobile and its technology. Why must you deviate to other technology cluster. Yes they are much superior in other technology cluster. The subject is automobile, about Proton and I am pissed by the fact that your are insulting this Malaysian product. Dah tak de modal ke…
I am not talking about sales vs engineering. Check your facts. 95% of China cars are either re-badge or copies. India and Russian cars… That is why I ask you; have you driven these cars? Or, have you ever seen these cars that they produce. Obviously you did not.
Malaysia does not restricts their people to buy only Proton and locally made cars… That’s a fact. Can you say the same about the countries that you’re so proud off.
You really need a box of panadol now….
Tun;
Jika kereta versi EMAS ini menjadi kenyataan; bermakna akan ujud industri hiliran baru untuk menghasilkan komponen-komponen kegunaan kenderaan tersebut yg mungkin berbeza dgn komponan Proton sedia ada.
Apabila dikeluarkan di Malaysia adalah diharapkan mutu komponen tidak diabaikan.
Kualiti harus mengikut piawaian antarabangsa(Eropah dan Jepun) atau lakukan VALUE ADDED LEBIH BAIK LAGI DENGAN INISIATIF R & D DI PROTON SENDIRI(MELALUI KREATIVITI YG PROAKTIF DAN INOVATIF PENYLIDIK & JURUTERA TEMPATAN).
Salam Tun,
This writing is for all the sceptics (because I’m tired of their postings too)
While the argument is cars produced by India, China, Russia or Eastern Europe may not be of better quality than ours, the sceptics argued that their cars will still be better of, thanks to their huge domestic market ie undivided and continuos support towards their own product. Why aren’t we? It’s true Volkswagen have arms in Eastern Europe countries namely Czech since World War I, it’s not domination, it was the invasion that helped the Germans/Volkswagen. I once read an article about how a car manufacturer from a certain nation copied 100% cars not only from the American, but even British and call it their own, what is that all about? I guess sceptics should just continue driving Japanese car (eg their ever reliable and problem free Toyoda…HEHE) or wherever their car comes from and let the rest of us support our own local products.
WTO? How many billions did the US govt gave GM? Did ‘somebody’ sabotaged North American Toyoda? 😉
Bilakah Proton akan mengeluarkan kereta sedan yang setaraf dengan kapasiti dan kualiti Toyota Camry dan Honda Accord tetapi dengan harga yang berpatutan. Mengapa mesti tertumpu kepada kereta-kereta kecil sahaja. Adakah tahap Proton setakat pengeluaran kereta-kereta yang begitu?
Salam TUn,
i don’t know where else i could find U to discuss the Malaysia’s development. i try to avoid the political issue here. i very proud to be a Malaysian, a small country but has a big thinker like Tun. i wish, the latest PM also is a big thinker and can develop Malaysia as a peaceful country. Im so proud with the new Proton that will be launched.
Tun, if u wish, i hope u can reduce the race sentiment in Malaysia. Thank Q. wish Tun and the family all in well.
/// Sales vs engineering
I am talking about automotive engineering capability of these countries, you are refering to sales of re-badged models (Mitsubishi Protons), foreign designed models (concept car), subsidised pricing (export market). ///
S Tan – spot on. Why are Malaysians so proud of assembling a Japanese car with a Proton logo slapped on it?

Thank you for the kind words brothers Samurai Melayu and Waja Perak and a warm greetings to all notable visitors. Firstly I think that this country may need internet censorship. In Australia their net service providers had began providing free internet filters since early 2008. I think that the government may have to sit down and play a good game of Play Station to understand what I mean. Games that you can buy cheaply for RM5 at malls may actually contain pornographic elements and very certainly extreme vulgarity.

Asap Tebal
Dont be clouded by the local media’s extensive coverage of Proton’s meagre exports into thinking it is a huge success. You believe these countries engineering are below Proton’s?
> Czech. They already selling cars in Europe before Proton or Tun born. Manufactured cars since 1900 and selling in Europe since 1970s. Brought VW in as partner in 1991.
> China. You belittle the car making engineering of a nation with space exploration capability, nuclear capacity, missile technology. The reason their cars are not in global market is cos they are a closed economy until 20 yrs ago (WTO entry 2001) Another is they can’t even cope with their huge domestic market, they don’t need outside market. Even producing for domestic use, they are already the worlds 2nd largest manufacturer (after Japan). Even exporting a tiny fraction (0.03%) is already 369k ut beating Protons entire plant capacity for 2 yrs.
> India. Again you far underestimate the engineering of a nation that produced the worlds cheapest car and is the 4th largest car exporter in Asia. Hyundai alone exports 240k ut from India.
> Russia. Only a fool will look down on this nation’s engineering where even US shudder. Communism frowns private ownership and capitalism, so car industry stagnant.
Different vision
If they are not producing great cars for the global market it is cos they dont want to waste their resources on a market they have no hope to dominate. These are dominant nations we are talking about! Different from dominating (which is M’sia)! Czech (arm of VW), China (domestic market), India (small cars) have different focus and niche in their automotive goals. Only Proton is not clear after 25 yrs!
Sales vs engineering
I am talking about automotive engineering capability of these countries, you are refering to sales of re-badged models (Mitsubishi Protons), foreign designed models (concept car), subsidised pricing (export market). These countries are just sleeping giants. One or two barred models (Europe sales) does not degrade their engineering unlike re-badged cars, tweaked engines, foreign designs with local names or Europe sales to Britain only (even then a fraction of miserable total export of 20k ut after 25yrs. Penang alone sells more than 20k ut)
Sickening point
My point is against M’sia’s approach (protectionism ultra vires WTO) on Proton, not the industry or project itself. I think before writing, do you? Really??? I get sick having to respond to your posting.

Hmm.. Tun, byk orang cakap harga jualan proton di luar negara lebih murah berbanding di Malaysia. Betul ke Tun? Klau betul, kenapa jadi macam tu Tun?

In life,people do all sort of kind for living.Some plant trees.Other’s hacked it down.When they have more than their need’s,only and only then people can have the luxury of ‘choosing’ and determines the morality of the issue’s wether it is better to plant trees or chop it down..
Bro Kamal..you have surpassed the initial need’s of the basic.So,your responsbilities must match your “power”..Power at disposal,beck and call means more responsbilities..
In this regards and Proton as part of Tun contribution and achievement, I really out of my depth.I once known a friend who have the abilities to intrepret dreams.I envy him and asks why in his opinion that I am not given this gift?
He said that I have the same capabilities that he has and we should excel in our own respective field..
There..Bro..We can never achieve’s what Tun have achieved.I can never outperforms you nor can I outperforms Prof_Ridcully.But I have duty and role to play in complementing your task and Prof_Ridcully..
This is a tasks about contribution to the nation building.I have nothing to shout about any achievement but to be able to writes something that could have your’s and Prof_Ridcully attention really made me feels useful.
I am a role player.I hate the role which have been given to me but the very basic principle of muslim is “kami dengar, dan kami taat”.
My role have been confused by stigma and misconception.So,our line can only be complemented in Islam.I can never say I am a good muslim but I can safely say I practiced good muslim governance..
Finally..Bro..Knowledge is so much exhilarating..So much so for Islamic knowledge that applicable in time and it timeliness..
Glad you found your footing..Enjoy your health because it is the main asset despite the knowledge..

Dear S..Tan,
If you think that we should not condone a wrong if we get some benefit from it, it is all up to you because it was your right as a citizen. The conduct which you prefer or I prefer definitely has nothing to do with ‘soal cinta negara dan khianat.

My comments;
We can clearly see that this person (and many others like him) have problems with themselves as they can only see the world through their binoculars.
That’s why their negative comments reflect their distorted views of the world in general and Malaysia in particular.
But I have to give acknowledge that Tan and co are experts in finding faults in everything possible.By God they are like microscopes!
For me I truly believe that our country is a God blessed paradise on earth.
If everything is useless,we wouldn’t be the preferred destination of millions of foreigners.
I believe that the kindness of the Malays in offering to share this country when it had the choice of otherwise,the hardworking attitude of the Chinese,the labors of love from the Indians,contributed towards making Malaysia what it is today.
Even our democracy is on a much better track compared to our neighbours down south!There they cunningly sidelined the poorest minority group.
I truly believe that these people do not want Proton to succeed as they will be proven wrong and they cannot bear to realise that we are not useless after all.

Dear brother Waja Perak, sabar. Bawa bertenang. We will review all and overhaul everything. On your advice, no stone would be left unturned I assure your good self. Based on what I presently am in the know, I made that “savvier” statement in all earnest. Time changes, and we have to keep inventing on to stay ahead. Tun Dollah had wasted almost 90% of his political inheritance from Tun. But now it is slowly being revive again by DSN.
I hope that today, both the Ketua Pemuda and Timbalan is in “sync” with what’s going on at Pemuda grass root level (?). If not, I would say that a comeback is being attempted by a “has been”, one that would ultimately again, cost the whole of UMNO in undoing it yet again. What this one young man’s vision and blunder extraordinaire may bring this time upon UMNO, who can tell really.
About the civil service you mentioned, yes I may perhaps know what you mean. Do not be surprise if today you may find plenty of dissent there, and bloopers from TSM about rural postings don’t do much good overall. But he may have been honest about the blooper, so even though it is honest blooper, it is still one blooper too many already.

Tahniah,kepada Tun,bahagian pengurusan dan warga Proton yang bertungkus lumus untuk membawa Proton lebih berdaya saing di peringkat global.Rekabentuk kereta ini menarik sekali.
Dapat bayangkan,bukannya senang bagi mereka yang terlibat dalam projek kereta EMAS untuk sampai ke tahap ini.
2.Toyota dan Kia juga mengambil ‘designer’ kereta dari Itali untuk certain model kereta mereka.Era globalisasi semestinya tidak dapat lari daripada usahasama sebegini.Tetapi apa yang boleh dibanggakan ialah anak tempatan(Malaysia)sudah sampai ke tahap boleh membuat enjin kereta sendiri.Walaupun masih banyak lagi yang perlu dilakukan dan diperbaiki kelemahan,semoga ia menjadi satu cabaran dan usaha untuk menjadikan Proton setanding dengan jenama kereta keluaran negara Eropah.
3.Point 7,insyaallah.
Saya sentiasa mendoakan kesejahteraan dan kesihatan yang baik ke atas Tun Dan Tun Siti.Bagi Saya,Tun berdua adalah sebenarnya EMAS negara.
Terima kasih,Tun.
Assalammualaikum Tok Det

1 MALAYSIA SENTIASA DITIPU…
Kenapa Proton tak jual harga macam kat Arab Saudi?
Apa istimewanya orang Arab?
Kata Rakyat didahulukan..
Kenapa orang Arab lebih diutamakan?
Haaaa..Jawapannya ialah..
Pemilik Proton di Malaysia semuanya dah kena tipu ..Hahaha
Harga Persona kat Saudi = SR 36,100
Harga Gen2 kat Saudi = SR 33,600
Harga Waja kat Saudi = SR 37,950
1 Saudi Riyal = RM 0.94
Maknanya harga Persona kat Saudi = RM 33,934 aje
Maknanya harga Proton Gen2 kat Saudi = RM 32,256 aje
Maknanya harga Waja kat Saudi = RM 35,673 aje
1 Malaysia bayar RM 66,799.97 untuk 1 Waja di Msia!
RM31,126.97 lebih MAHAL!
Shouldn’t our Government protects us.
Instead we are cheated. Our hard earnings..!!
We pay for others to enjoy …
THIS IS 1MALAYSIA …
Dear Tun,
1. I am proud to see the new creatively designed Proton. I hope to see many EMAS on the road next year. How I wish this car be sold at a competitive price – as low as a foreign car of the same class would cost without the import duties.
2. It is true that cheaper cars will result in higher number of vehicles on the road.
3. In the cities, this situation is likely to cause traffic congestions. Therefore, in many cases, people choose using public transport over driving their cars. The dire need of public transports makes LRT projects feasible.
4. Ironically, rail transport operators like Monorail and KTMB claim that the business is not profitable despite the fact that train cars are packed like sardines during peak hours. They claim that almost all train operators in the world experience the same condition. While this is true, the degree of losses varies. There might be some mismanagement by our local companies.
5. When KTM commuter started, the number of train cars in stock was 60 plus. About five years ago, only 30 plus were operational. The remaining cars were under the shades where their parts were cannibalized. As we all know, the management has proposed to purchase new train cars. Nobody knows the fate of the idle cars.
6. The operator of Monorail has made a lot of money during the construction of the primary structure. It claims that the operation part is not paying well. By browsing through its financial statements, one might be able to find irregularities. A sum of money, for example, was transferred to the sister company – rendering a false estimation of profitability. This activity is supposed to be monitored by a government body which is overseeing the concession agreement.
7. It is disappointing that the development of Putrajaya has not been carried out as planned. Putrajaya has failed to exhibit an efficient public transport system. At many government buildings, visitors
Salam Tun
You are right. All the best for Proton. Remember to back it up with solid Islamic principles.
I hate people who condemns made in Malaysia products. I hate it when people say bringing the car from Spain to Geneva just to let Tun start the car and then return it to Spain. When I was in US, I spoke to people who are descendants of the Red Indians and one of them said, ” Our lands may be barren, full of stones and sands. But the country is ours and we are willing to die for it”. So people, stop complaining about Proton, It’s ours and it’s made in Malaysia. Never mind the little defects. Perfection takes time. Give suggestions instead of complaints. About wasting money on bringing the car just for Tun, please understand that some people get privelages. Tun has earned that previleges. He doesn’t have to wait for the bus. He doesn’t have to queue at airports. He has privilege because he earned it. Tony Fernandez understands this very well when he made the arrangements for Tun. As for me, I have little to complain for what Tun has given to my country eventhough it’s a little less than perfect.

Dear Tun nad Readers,
Time Is Running Short
Salam,
1. *****Pasaran PROTON****
Pihak pengurusan PROTON harus pijak dibumi nyata. Kecuali kereta kita world-class seperti Honda atau Toyota, jangan harap nak dapat pasaran di Amerika, Eropah dan Jepun. Negara2 maju depa bersifat semangat bangsa/negara kuat. Sikap beli buatan negara masing2 sangat kuat dalam hati sanubari depa. Kalau EU, depa semangat EU.
Buktinya lihat 10 kereta paling tinggi jualan di eropah, kecuali Ford (yang pun dah di Eropah-kan) semuanya buatan Eropah (sila rujuk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_10_best_selling_cars_in_Europe#2009).
Jadi Proton kena kenalpasti dengan tepat siapa pelanggan luar negara, siapa pelanggan dalam negara. kenal pasti betul2 siapa sasaran. jangan hidung tak mancung, pipi tersorong2. Proton perlu pakar penjualan kereta. Pakar customer service mestilah world-class. Kalau taraf kambing Gurun, mengerunkan pelanggan saja.
Proton mesti amalkan setiap satu sen adalah amat berharga dalam pengurusan dan pentadbiran, supaya semua pekerja Proton bekerja bersunguh2. kenaikan pangkat mesti berdasarkan performance, siapa tak boleh deliver,minta depa pencen cepat2 sebelum kena serang darah tinggi.
2.****Proton perlu ada R&D di luar negara****
proton perlu pertingkat R&D, supaya dapat membina kereta yang berkualiti lagi cost effective.
ada banyak syarikat elektronik (bidang saya) Amerika dan Jepun mempunyai pusat R&D di Eropah.Lebih senang memujuk top and experienced engineers dan scientist Eropah kerja di Proton dengan adanyanya Pusat R&D Proton di negara depa. Ini lebih baik daripada harap depa mai kat sini, duk kat Shah Alam atau duk ceruk Tanjung Malim penuh dengan nyamuk Aedes. (Beberapa tahun dulu, saya pernah dengar cerita dari rakan orang putih bahawa seorang engineer Amerika risau kena transfer beberapa bulan ke Penang kerana takut kena nyamuk Aedes. )
tentu Proton boleh pass segala hasil R&D ke manufacturing plant di Malaysia. postgraduate Student2 Malaysia dan pensyarah Malaysia pi hantar industrial training atau research collaboration di Pusat R&D di luar negara. Serupa main bola, kalau setakat duk main sama2 negara ASEAN, kualiti setakat itu sajalah.
Proton boleh anugerah “Research grant” kepada Universiti tempatan yang dinilai permohonan depa oleh pakar2 industri kereta luar negara. Di Malaysia, amalan pemberian research grant berdasarkan kriteria apa ? Kalau setakat kawan menilai kawan , tentu dapat kot? Berhati2 pemberian duit research grant. Jangan duk bagi penyelidikan syok sendiri. Jangan lupa setiap pemberian research grant RM2 juta dah boleh buat satu jambatan sungai yang berkualiti kat kampung2 dan memebri munafaat kepada beribu2 penduduk dan kerajaan semasa PRU nanti!!!!
3. *****Certa politi sikit:::BN masih syok sendiri*****
Saya dah tak join poitik peringkat Cawangan/Bahagian lagi tetapi hati saya sentiasa bersama UMNO. Saya lebih minat kerjaya saya dan keluarga saya saja sekarang ini. Tapi saya bimbang jika BN khususnya UMNO tak buat sesuatu semakin teruk PRU nanti, susahlah hati orang2 tua macam saya ini.Nak bagi sumbangan dah tak larat lagi dah kerana dah nak masuk alam pencen. Lagipun yang muda2 kan ramai, giliran depa pula pembawa obor2 perjuangan Melayu melalui UMNO.
Dah dua tahun PRU berlalu, nampaknya BN masih duk rehat. Selalu saya tengok TV, namapak Dato Najib , TanSri Muhyiddin dan beberapa menteri duk selalu muncul TV . Memang tak dinafikan PM dan Timbalan PM kerja kuat, rakyat boleh nampak dan terima. Tetapi apa dah jadi dengan jentera BN peringkat Bahagian. Dekat kawasan saya tinggal , BN kalah Parlimen dan DUN kepada Pakatan tetapi pemimpin BN masih tak de nampak batang hidung. Atau pun ada aktiviti, tetapi penduduk menyamppah tengok kerana banyak tahi hidung pemimpin Bahagaian dan cawangan kot?
PM kena tekan kuat2 Ketua Bahagian dan ketua cawangan. Belasah depa cukup2. Jangan duk asyik nak makan nasi tapi malas kerja.
Sama2 kita doakan kejayaaan, keamanan dan kesejahteraan Negara Malaysia. Amin.
Salam kasih dan salam hormat Ayahanda Tun. If I may share this platform for a write to Waja Perak. Thank you kind Tun.
Thank you very much for the kind words Brother Waja Perak. I am fine really; never the less, I am thankful for your kind words and good wisdom. I am writing this comment to share with you in particular, a book that I am at present reading. It is almost 30 years old and it was acquired in Dar

DSN could do better and certainly deserves better. Let us pray he see the true picture for what it really is..

Bro Kamal..This I had to protest..We can differ in opinion but opinion of rakyat are matter’s most.Civil servant’s are angry with Najib.First he denies us the bonus and capped it with insulting comment..
“Adalah tidak bermoral bagi CUEPACS untuk meminta bonus di saat kita sedang mengalami kemelesatan ekonomi”..
Cis..moral konon..pandai la tu..
Tun Mahathir amat bijak dalam menjaga hati dan perasaan rakyat.Penjawat awam adalah tulang belakang kerajaan.Jangan lupa, jangan sebab nila sebelanga rosak susu sekolam!!
Tun kata kita beri bonus supaya duit itu beredar di kalangan rakyat juga..”Prosper thy neighbour”..
Bro Kamal tau tak berapa banyak kemudahan Kesihatan yang tak sampai pun harga rm1 bilion telah di cantas oleh ? Tun Dolla?..
Kemudahan kesihatan amat penting kepada rakyat miskin..soalannya
Apa Najib dah buat??
Harap bro Kamal lebih berhati-hati di masa depan..Terima kasih..

Design kereta memang cantik.Tapi lepas ni jangan Power Window tak boleh naik pulak.Tapi saya rasa design kereta ni 98% dihasilkan oleh Warga Asing dan bukannya Anak Malaysia.Biasanya Orang Malaysia cuma jadi nasi tambah je.Macam Petronas Twin Tower dulu Tun sibuk cakap ini adalah hasil kerja anak tempatan.Tapi yg sebenarnya design KLCC tu Warga Asing jugak yg buat.Sekali lagi Anak Malaysia nie cuma jadi nasi tambah je.Kita cuma mampu berbangga dengan hasil kerja orang lain.LEMBU PUNYA SUSU SAPI DAPAT NAMA.CHaiiiTTT…!!!
Assalamualaikum wbt Yg Bhg Tun, the beloved Malaysian 4th Prime Minister,
Tonight is 20th Rabiul Awal 1431 Hijrah, Saturday night 1055 pm (6/3/2010). According to Malaysian Business latest issue dated 1/3/2010-15/3/2010 that prominently features your son Yg Bhg Datuk Mokhzani of Kenchana Petroleum Berhad as its cover story for this edition, at page 14 there is an interesting article about Proton entitled ‘In Top Gear’.
Permit me to quote a bit of this article Yg Bhg Tun,
” Proton Holdings Bhd has outperformed market expectations in three
consecutive quarters, including its latest third-quarter results
announced on feb 18…Accordingly, consensus projection for the national carmarker has almost quadrupled, or up by
291 % since May last year.” (Read more at page 14-15, Malaysian Business issue 1/3/2010-15/3/2010)
However, Yg Bhg Tun, upon careful reading of your latest posting, it is safe to form an opinion that you wish also to stress about what has been perceived by many as wrong decisions that you have made.
Well Yg Bhg Tun as you used to say, you discuss everything in your cabinet meetings but when a decision was collectively made, you expect it to be implemented, be it right or wrong.
Your own cabinet ministers went around showing their disagreement with the proton project but in the end when the project took off and control the malaysian market, that have silenced them from making any more noises.
It was such a proud moment for me and other Malaysian students to see many bill boards in Birmingham & London in 1995 advertising Proton although it was cheaply price back then with if i am not mistaken 2 years free parts/maintainance.
Many more of your projects being critized such as KLIA,Putrajaya,Twin Tower etc and later all the critics may realize by now that you was so forward thinking that Malaysia actually needs all those -ignoring what Barry Wain said on Australian TV recently as it is clear by now that he wrote the book mala fide.
Back in 1981 when you became Prime Minister, when I was still in Form 2 at Sekolah Menengah Putra Kangar Perlis, you fast forward the peninsular Malaysia time by half an hours that many felt it was a burden to treat the dark of 630am as 7 am . Your critics was at its height when your own staff met with an accident and died while on his way to work and the small news was given wide coverage but eventually everybody were happy to start their day early. I can recall that the school bus came directly infront of my house at Taman Utara Jaya Kuala Perlis when it was still dark to take me to school in Kangar. Imagine the bus coming at 630am when it was suppose to be originally 6 am but after that I enjoyed it so much the feeling of travelling in the clean fresh cooling air with the bendang on both side of the road to Kangar.
The punch card system that you introduced was also later widely accepted as good and even Allahyarham Sudirman Haji Arshad sang a song 8 Hingga 4 Suku (Punch Card), I suppose you repaid Sudirman by stepping in to allow the Concert in UKM to proceed despite some protest. The UKM Concert was amongst the best that Allahyarham Sudirman did and even EMI recorded it and sold the concert in the form of cassette those days.
Well Yg Bhg Tun, many time you are being critized for being wrong even by your own cabinet ministers, your own party members etc but what matters in the end is the positive result that will translate
into the happiness of many rakyat but you will of course will not be able to stop the jealousy of some of your own trusted circle of friends.
You was sacked from Umno, you was almost jailed by Tunku but was rescued half way at the train station by Tunku Abdullah, you return to Umno and appointed as Senator, shot up directly to become Minister of Education and best part is how you successfully maneuvered when Umno was declared to be an illegal society by the Kuala Lumpur High Court. ( Please refer to my letter published by Berita Harian on 4/10/2003, Tan Sri Harun Hashim Setaraf Lord Denning)
Many said that you was wrong on many issues but eventually you have your last laugh.
But then again in the final analysis ,Yg Bhg Tun, your maneuvering, negotiation & renegotiation skills are still required to unite all Malaysians once and for all -thus you will leave a mark in modern history in ensuring your original The Way Forward Vision 2020 is preserved. Just complete the modern Malaysian history your unpredictable way ,yes your way, Yg Bhg Tun bearing in mind that you was played out repeatedly by your own trusted friends/media and bearing in mind also your repeatedly unforgettable quote, “in politics, there are no permanent enemies”. Res Ipsa Loquitor.

Assalamualaikum Ayahnda Tun & Bonda,
izinkan anaknda,
isyhh! isyhh! isyhh! tak habih2 lagi jenis yg dok menyindir2 Tun. apala jasa depa buat selain dok mencebik Tun hari2? apa yg depa dapat?
yg eksiden putuih dua kereta tu bukan setakat proton saja, mercedes, bmw, toyota & kereta2 lain pun ada yg putuih dua! bukan salah kereta la encik2 oii! pemandu yg cuai, laju, mengantuk, mabuk, lalai….
Orag Malaysia kita ni pelek betui. kalu yg berjaya tu Melayu, dok kata ‘cronies’. kalu yg kaya meliana tu cina & india depa tak kata apa plak. awat?? semua peniaga2 cina & india ambik org2 Melayu ka jadi rakan niaga depa? depa kongsi bahagi ka kek juta2 depa dgn kita? dak pun kan? kalu ada org Melayu kerjapun setakat jadi kuli angkat barang, tukang cuci pejabat/tandas, tukang buka pintu atau jadi jaga. kalu ada degree, tak payah tryla, awai2 lagi jawatan2 dlm pejabat di isi oleh croni depa jugak. sedaqla…
tapi pasai apa bila ada Melayu jadi jutawan, kita org Melayu sakit hati sgt? pasai kita sendiri tak boleh jadi jutawan kan? kalau kita jadi jutawan, org kata plak kita ni ‘croni’, kita tak rasa apa2 ka? jgn sedap kata ka org, kena batang hidung kita, makan tak habih kut…
Macam tu lah perangai org Malaysia kita ni. penuh dgn PhD…kalu company Malaysia berjaya, nampak ada kemajuan, macam2 yg dilemparkan, pakai tongkat la, crony la, rasuahla…seolah2 perniagaan org2 depa saja yg betui, bersih telus sedangkan kalau nak ikut, set depa peduli apa dosa pahala asalkan dapat buat untung…
Pasai proton ni, ada yg kata berjaya sebab kerajaan sekat kereta luar dari dijual murah dlm negara kita. habih tu nak biar kereta proton tersadai tak laku selamanya? semestinya depa ni seronok kut tengok kalu jadi lagu tu, boleh terus mengeji kerajaan sebab tak berjaya jual kereta buatan sendiri…dasar lidah bercabang. semua org buat tak betui, depa saja prasan betui…ni jadi macam cerita orgtua&anaknya dgn kaldai, semuanya tak kena…
Moga Allah SWT senantiasa memberkati Ayahnda Tun & Bonda.
Wassalam.
just my brain wave…
Dear Tun,
It is very apparent that TUN is a leader with a CLEAR VISION. Your vision for Proton is now as clear as day for all to see. This clear vision has help those who needs to implements it KNOW exactly what they need to do.
Well Done Proton!
It is also very clear that Proton will play a very important factor in Malaysia Achieveing Wawasan 2020..remember it?
Next will be Proton finding a niche in the world car market.
Perhaps setting up Proton manufacturing plants in Africa, Middle East and Middle Asia to sell to the local markets.
Proton will be a WORLD CAR Maker come 2020.
Selamat Maju Jaya…bukan rhetorics.. sahaja ya.
Assalamualaikum Ayahnda Tun & Bonda,
please allow me,
Congratulations!!!! Tq Ayahnda for that first insight!
It’s something to be looking forward to. 2012 will see the many new concept for a car – EMAS: Eco Mobility Advance Solution – manouvering the streets. This is a dream come true for malaysians though Tun said that malaysians may not be able to own it for a long time. I guess, with many billionaires malaysia has, the car will definitely be here on our roads, just be positive… I will be a proud malaysian in future to see this car here even though I will not be able to buy/own/drive it for I know I cant afford to. but knowing that it’s the car that can be put across the global market, I’m really proud of it. I said so because as an ordinary person, I can only watch in amaze the production of it. I can only admire the great invention yet it gives me a good feeling because it’s malaysian. Hey? If you asked me, I cant even make a screw! but I’m still proud because I can teach & motivate my students & they can become successful in their examinations, then they can go into engineering & deal with proton or perodua. I’ll have my ‘share’ there…):-
May Allah SWT bless both of you ayahnda Tun & Bonda, always.
Wassalam.

Dear Tun, salam mesra harap sihat. Kiriman ini mengulas pengirim yg timbul soal cinta negara dan khianat. Menjawab bukan menuduh, dgn izin….
Pandangan pada tulisan menyalahkan orang lain dan keluhan tak cinta negara.
…………..SALAH KOREA
Korean cars are cheap not cos they devilishly sell below cost to kill Proton. It is our non transparent tax structure under national car policy. Some businessman (crony?) managed to obtain national car status tax exemptions.
Two sets of tax under national car policy (same with two tier citizenship) will invite abuse. Our own people (thru cronyism and nepotism and corruption) manipulated the policy. You conveniently blame Koreans. Please remove this typical mindset of blaming others for your own weakness.
…………..TAK CINTA
Criticize does not mean don
take away all the tariffs and let people buy and drive the cars they like. Dont artificially support by making foreign cars expensive and make people struggle to pay loans.
Dear Tun..,
KERETA PROTON YG BARU NI DIPASANG DI LUAR NEGERI DAN KOMPONENNYA JUGA ADALAH DARI VENDOR ASING. SY RS JK KERETA BRU INI DIPASANG OLEH KILANG TANJUNG MALIM DAN VENDORNYA SYARIKAT TEMPATAN DH TENTU MASALAH SERUPA AKN TIMBUL…

………..CARS
“2. Malaysians will not be able to buy it for a long time but even though the car was designed for the world market it would first appear on Malaysian roads.
Question: Why?”
A concept car takes quite a long time before it hit the mass-pro lines. Some never touch the road like previous Lotus designed Proton SUV.. whatever name it is =)
In life sojourn we meet all kinds of people. To the untrained mind this can be confusing because people tend to put their ideas across and one has to seive through them to remain sane. Education and wisdom help us to meander through life’s maze.
At the inception of Proton my immediate superior was very volatile against the idea. He was volatile because he was just back with PhD from volatile Belfast! He was on government scholarship though!
Up to this day many still do not understand why we need Proton as exemplified by the previous PM! Yes, many could not see beyond their noses. Are they ignorant of the achievements of great nations and civilisations? Tun’s idea of 2020 is a reminder to put peoples’ sight further beyond our noses.
The next project people like to criticize is the Twin Towers. We could still come across comments saying that they are a waste. They think of being utilitarians but lack that far, far-sighted vision.
Great nations must have tangible heritage as a mode to inspire the populace. Individually as well as a group people will aspire to achieve what their leaders project to them to be.
If such is not true then why Emperor Shih Huang Ti built the Great Wall of China (apart to deter the northerners)) and now they have the rail-link to the westernmost part to Tibet, and the Three-Gorges Dam. They are thinking so far ahead even at the displacement of thousands of villages and millions of people! The people are willing to sacrifice.
The pharoahs built the pyramids, and the Mayans, Aztecs, Incas their symbols of power and achievements; the Greeks and Romans with their coloseums.
Why France built the Eifel Tower (mid-nineteenth century!) and the US sending people to the moon? The Japanese have the bullet trains and an airport on man-made sea-island at that.
Thus, Malaysia’s venture into such projects as Proton, Twin Towers, the scenic bridge (?) are not only utilitarian but are comparatively small and not wasteful. Dream on Malaysia for generations ahead.
As circumstances demand it Tun has the unique ability to see the forest above the trees, at times the trees above the forest, at other times both the forest and the trees. Yet, he won’t get lost when he in the forest surrounded by the trees! Even when the forest and the trees are not there yet he could still see them.
Salam buat Yg Bhg Tun..
Tahniah kepada PROTON..
Bagaimana pun, saya ada satu perkara saja yang besar kat PROTON sebelum ia betul-betul boleh maju. Rasa-rasanya ia kena dicuci terutama dalam urusan pemerolehan. Mengapa tak cadangkan PROTON mempunyai pengurus intergriti dan pinjamkan pegawai SPRM untuk jawatan tu bagi memantau dan mengaudit urusan pemerolehan..? SPRM mempunyai ramai pakar berkaliber dalam hal-hal sebegini.
Tolong jangan nafikan hal ini kerana gergasi automotif lain juga bermasalah dari pemerolehan komponen sub-standard. Kalau tak, Toyota tak panggillah balik kereta-keretanya untuk dibaik-pulih kerana kecacatan komponen.
just hope it would turn out a “true recovery”. with local design & local development is one thing, but to achieve high expectation with overseas standard is two things. it is a waste when other car makers were on sales but proton didn’t go for it!

As’kum Tun Dr and Toh Puan Dr,
I am Mohamed Hanifah, 63years old a retiree and a Singaporean. I was with Singapore Airlines – SIA and met you and Tun DR Siti on flight to Rome in the early 1980s. I was taken off from office duty to be on your flight to ensure that you would have a pleasant flight – I think you requested to sit in the cockpit for landing into FCO.
I remembered talking to you after seeking permission from Tun Dr Siti.
I also met you again at the opening of Tan Sri Samsudin A Kadir telephone factory
What I am doing –
1.All my four children have finished their tertiary education and working.
2.I am doing “kebajikan” in my Johor kmpg dusun teaching BI, maths and science to the kmpg children from age 09yrs to 12yrs since 2005.
3.Both myself and wife play golf and we travel quite a lot in Malaysia.
My hope – to meet you one more time maybe in Kedah – my youngest sister is in SP.
In the meantime will browse thru your blog
Thank you for reading and Wasalaam

Dear Tun:
If, Proton is looking for someone to try out the electric car in Chicago, for the US market, please put my name on top of the list. I’m willing to put on the mileages and drive the car through-out the US.

Saya ASB tak beli juga. ASN2020 sama 1Malaysia punya saham juga sudah beli. Terima kasih Tun.
i still remember in the 1990s, mahathir launched a engine that kononnya can run using palm oil fuel…you launched it…what happened….siapa sapu duit tu???
Saya ingin mengucapkan tahniah kepada Proton kerana tidak ‘play safe’ mengeluarkan model antarabangsanya yang terbaru.
Pengeluar kereta Korea telah lama berbuat demikian dengan memindahkan aktiviti merekabentuk kereta mereka ke Eropah. Pulangan modal untuk pelaburan ini memanglah bukan sekejap. Pengeluar Korea mengambil masa yang lama juga sebelum model kereta mereka benar-benar diterima oleh pembeli Barat.
Apabila pembeli mula percaya, jualan pula meningkat. Apabila jualan meningkat, pengeluar tersebut dapat mengeluarkan kereta dengan banyak, berkualiti dan dengan kos yang rendah. Pada masa kini kereta Korea dikatakan lebih baik dari kereta buatan Perancis dan harganya pula kekal murah sehingga Jeremy Clarkson (dari Top Gear) terpaksa menelan kata-kata sinisnya selama ini.
Saya dengar Hyundai mengeluarkan kereta lebih dari 300,000 unit dari pengeluaran kilangnya di Eropah. Ini tidak termasuk kilang di benua lain. Tidak mustahil Proton juga bakal mencapai kejayaan sedemikian apabila kepercayaan kepada produk mereka mula meningkat kelak. Mungkin 3 model antarabangsa Proton ini tidak akan mendapat sambutan hangat pada mulanya, tetapi model susulan pasti akan mendapat perhatian apabila media yang dulu mengutuk mula membincangkannya.
Laporan tidak memuaskan media barat tentang produk Proton pada hari ini haruslah diambil sebagai sesuatu yang positif. Bagi saya, ianya tidak lain merupakan promosi percuma. Biarkan orang kata dan tertawakan Proton sekarang. Ini adalah baik kerana manusia memang suka ketawakan kelemahan orang lain. Proton harus mengambil peluang ini, kerana pengikut-pengikut media Barat ini akan terus menunggu model Proton akan datang dan ingin mentertawakannya lagi. Tapi mereka akan terkejut apabila suatu hari Proton mendapat review yang baik dan mereka akan mula membeli. Walaupun bukan mudah tetapi ini adalah tidak mustahil.
Saya yakin Proton mampu mengeluarkan kereta yang berkualiti sekiranya mereka mahu. Saya tidak rasa reliabiliti menjadi masalah utama kepada produk Proton tetapi kualiti material yang menjadi kekangan. Saya rasa ini adalah kerana Proton kekurangan volume keluaran bukannya kebolehan.
Saya juga ingin mencadangkan Proton supaya menjual model mereka seperti Exora 1.8 dan Gen2 1.8 ke luar negara seperti Indonesia dan ASEAN dengan menggunakan pilihan enjin pengeluar lain seperti Mitsubishi atau Toyota. Saya rasa model ini pasti akan ada permintaan besar sekiranya harganya kompetitif.
Akhir kata. Dont play safe Proton. Go for broke!
Salam Tun,
Impak besar kepada Proton bila Tun berada diGeneva bersama Proton Concept Car sedangkan Toyota,Honda dan Nissan sedang berjuang diUSA demi servival industri Jenama mereka.
Terima kasih kerana Tun masih bersama sama produk Malaysia kini dan selama lamanya.
Salam Tun & Fellows CheDet’s Bloggers,
Thanks on Tun’s brief report on the new Proton car concept. Let us all Malaysians acknowledge and solute this achievement with high national pride and wish them more success. Again Tun has placed Malaysia in the world map. Malaysia Boleh!!
Salam Tun dan Toh Puan,
Semoga PROTON bertambah maju dan brkembang di pelusuk dunia…MALAYSIA BOLEH! TUN BOLEH!
Saya ada baca artikel pameran kereta itu di surat khabar..Tun dan Pegawai PROTON ada semasa itu, memang menarik, memang cantik…ada kualaiti tinggi.
Saya yakin POROTON akan bangkit dan berkembang pesat sekiranya tiada campur tangan orang POLITIK!
Saya teringat lagu PRPTON WIRA dimainkan di television …memang bersemngat saya dan kembang bulu romer saya…saya berharap lagu itu dapat dimainkan dan kemundangkan semula………….
Tun saya doakan Tun dan Toh Puan sihat dan kekal bahagia. Kami perlukan Tun..

Proton can be successful (defined as producing popular cost effective and reliable car)provided:
1) WE HAVE MINIMUM NO OF SUPPLIERS/ VENDORS
2) VENDORS ARE BEING CHOSEN BASED ON THEIR CAPABILITIES
Cannot have all the political reasoning of choosing vendors. So many years of substandard accessories and components produced by sub-standard vendors.
It is not just design, technology and marketing. It is also after sales support and reliability of the car. Car = body + engine + accessories + finishing.
SALAM KASIH DAN SAYANG
AYAHANDA RAKYAT TUN
IZINKAN,
CONGRATULATIONS TO PROTON AND THANK YOU OUR BELOVED AYAHANDA RAKYAT!
WE STILL RECALLED WHEN THE FIRST MODEL OF PROTON SAGA ROLLED OUT AND HOW PROUD WE WERE WITH TEARS IN OUR EYES ON THINKING OF THE DIFFICULT MOMENTS AYAHANDA HAD TO FACE TO CHANGE THE NATION FROM AN AGRO-BASED TO INDUSTRY-BASED NATION. THE CRITICS AND DETRACTORS THEN WERE HAVING A FIELD DAY..AND TO THE EXTEND OF ‘SABOTAGE’ BY USING LOW PROFILE TYRES THAT CHANGED THE EQUILIBRIUM OF THE SAGA TO THAT OF A MINI, CAUSING IT TO SKID OFF CORNERS..
BUT WE HAD ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT THIS GREAT LEADER WHO ONCE SAID ‘ IF THE ARABS ARE PROUD OF THEIR OILS THEN WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF OUR WATER’ WILL LEAD THE NATION TO GREATER HEIGHTS..AND WHAT PROTON HAD ACHIEVED IS PROOF ENOUGH!
BAGI KAMI (YANG SENTIASA MENJUNJUNG FALSAFAH PERJUANGAN NYA) BERASAKAN, AYAHANDA TUN MAHATHIR ADALAH SEORANG HAMBA ALLAH YANG BERHATI ‘EMAS’ DAN MUNGKIN JUGA ‘PROTON CONCEPT CAR – THE EMAS’ ADALAH PETUNJUK KEPADA YANG TERSIRAT!
ALFATIHAH, AMIN.

Salam kasih dan salam hormat Ayahanda Tun.
I found this interesting review of the EMAS Concept Vehicle on the net, just click on the links above for a detailed report with video; you may also find an enclosed press release. It is simply incredible the amount of positive reviews that Proton has garnered worldwide with the release of this hybrid range of vehicles. The EMAS would be most suitable for tight European streets and off course Malaysian streets too. Well Proton is really on to something big with this Giugiaro designed, Lotus inspired green vehicles and the exposure at Geneva was certainly well worth it.
Assalamualaikum and Hye everybody.

Yea Tun, Proton has made a new and further step… I hope Proton can own its university such
as Petronas (Universiti Teknologi Petronas, Tronoh, Perak)… Let the Malaysians learn more
and more about internal combustion engine, electric motors, hybrid technology,
diesel-electric or turbo-electric and even mobile hydraulic machiner… Proton is founded in
1983, it was Malaysia’s ONLY carmaker until the establishment of its competitor Perodua…
Means we already got two giants carmaker here… Its good actually for us… Previously we
based on technology and parts from Mitsubishi Motors, hope one day we can have our own…

Salam Yang Berbahagia Tun,
1. Its good to see that there’s some form of output from Proton R&D with the Emas model.
2. Recent models such as Saga & Persona seems to be okay. I hope there will be more improvements on fit-outs e.g. power windows, central-locking etc. items which seem to be the problem with older models like the Wajas. Basic quality issues.
3. Digressing a little, I have been to Proton Plant office in Shah Alam. I was a bit shocked of the office environment – looks old and worn, and overcrowded working space (seriously). My guess its a normal office layout and environment for a manufacturing facility – Japanese style.
My personal view is that the work environment is not conducive (relatively speaking)and can adversely affect quality work and productivity.
We are spending millions on R&D and marketing, and I think these little things have been overlooked. I think they deserve a better work environment. And such little things can have an impact on quality and performance.
This is just my observation.
Salam and pray that you and Tun Dr Hasmah in the best of health, always.
make improvement on existing cars first before talk about concept cart EMAS or whatever.
some cars are just breaking in two or totally becoming tin cans upon collision.
of course some VIPs and politicians wont know as they drive Benz, AUDI, PORSCHE, etc yang ada ‘class’
if you can keep the cronies (leeches) off Proton then yes it maybe a turning point. Hybrid engines require very high quality parts and expert maintenance. If Proton is forced to buy sub-quality parts from crony vendors and employ engineers not base on skill then good luck
Tun, I hope for the best for Proton…
Assalamualaikum Tun,
This newly proton concept car is really impressive, a big thanks to Proton’s designer team (local & Italdesign), big thanks also to ITM (UiTM, knowing that most of the designer were from ITM (correct me) and not forgetting for you Tun, it is not difficult to design an impressive concept car, but it is impossible to suit everyone’s likeness..
Dear Tun,
Its about time for Malaysia to have its own global brand in the automative industry. Its not impossible. Sweden has a population of only about a third of Malaysia’s (around 9 millions) but they used to have two successful global brands that lasted for more than 50 years in the hand of Swedish: VOLVO and SAAB. Sadly though, both brands are now owned by non-Swedish companies. There is indeed a valuable lesson for Proton to learn from the VOLVO and SAAB’s experience. Syabas dan tahniah kepada PROTON!!!

Dear Tun,
I am looking forward to sit and start the engine. I am happy that Proton is working hard to regain their status as the main player in the automotive industry in our country. Tahniah

Assalamualaikum…tahniah Tun,kerana pada hari ini Proton maju lagi selangkah kehadapan..jika bukan kerana inisiatif Tun untuk mewujudkan industri automotif negara,kita mungkin pada hari ini masih membanggakan kereta negara asing..
Good morning Ayahanda Tun,
No matter how Dr M explains, majority of the rakyat (bloggers) do not understand because they are not the CEO nor the MD of the GL companies. In their heart, especially, our S..Tan and Ravi, they always have the thinking that they are not treated fairly and equally. Have they put themselves in the CEO and MD’s shoes?? They always think that they are the HERO who fights for fairness and equality like this UMNO Youth Chief (34 years old only) as this piece of The Star Online report….,

Khairy: Why is Anwar still Opposition Leader?
KUALA LUMPUR: Allowing Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to stay on as Opposition Leader is an unusual move for Pakatan Rakyat.
Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin said this was because Parti Keadilan Rakyat no longer held the majority among the Opposition following the defection of several MPs.
He said political convention dictated that the opposition party with the most number of seats in Dewan Rakyat should have the honour of having one of their MPs become the Opposition Leader.
Salam kasih dan salam hormat Ayahanda Tun.
Well dear Tun not much has been happening here in the country. Our solo Mount Kinabalu climber is still at it with 57 counts over his aimed 111 record attempt. It
You sure are proud of your child.
Tun
You wrote in item 7 “If this car proves to be a success it may mark the true recovery of Proton.”
I agree and hope it becomes a reality.
Salam Tun,
Am I the first to comment?
Actually I really like this car.
I always believe that our engineers are capable in achieving great things. This product just proved it.
With my experience, even the German never look down on proton. Even you know Mercedes come from their country.
It is always Malaysian who bad mouthed their own countrymen works. What a pity.
This Emas will surely become a hit. I am proud of it. Thanks my friends in Proton. Thanks to you who initiated Proton.
Syabas Proton!
Either yesterday or day before yesterday, I saw the picture of the car published in Star newspaper.
My first impression was: AMAZING. It shows the improvement made under the new management.
I really hope the car will be affordable to Malaysians and if the car has the fuel-saving mechanism then it will an added advantage.
I really hope the after sales service of the proton will be much better then what I have experienced before.
Syabas dan tahniah proton.
Pastikan juga untuk pasaran malaysia setaraf dengan pasaran luar negara.

salam Tun and fellow bloggers,
Congratulations to u Tun…u really are confident of Malaysians capabilities. A number of peoples, organizations that doubted u when u first mooted the idea…that we must acquire engine technology to be a developed country.
But during the dollah regime, for his own purposes, he brought in his cronies and sacked good and effective leader like Tengku Mahaleel…and then si rafidah with her policies and we have other national cars….
They tried to implicate u and ur son Mokhzani for having APs for porsche…ignorant peoples believed them…but logically only a handful of people can buy porsche, but thousands bought korean cars brought in as national cars…my god. The koreans did not hesitate to claim their production costs are cheaper but in reality they cost more, but as long as they can kill proton, everything goes.
If only more people love this country….
SALAM BUAT TUN BERDUA MOGA DIRAHMATI ALLAH S.W.T.
1) SEPERTI PROTON SAGA YANG RIMBA EMAS INGIN BELI SECARA TOLAKAN DENGAN NISSAN SANY TEMPOH HARI TETAPI TIDAK BERJAYA.RIMBA EMAS DAPATI ADA PERBEZAAN DENGAN PROTON SAGA YANG DIKELUARKAN KEPADA RAKYAT AUSTRALIA.
2) REKAAN UNTUK PROTON UNTUK NEGARA KANGGARU ITU LEBIH MENARIK BENTUKNYA DARI UNTUK RAKYAT MALAYSIA.MALAH KALAU DIBANDING DENGAN DUIT AUST.IA LEBIH MURAH.SEMUANYA KERANA UNTUK MENARIK RAKYAT LUAR MEMBELI KERETA PROTON.
3) BEGITU JUGA DENGAN PROTOTAIP PROTON EMAS INI KERANA GABUNGAN INGINEER ORANG ITALY DAN RAKYAT MALAYSIA.
4) UNTUK PEMBANGUNAN ATAS KEMAHIRAN PEKERJA YANG PAKAR BOLEH KITA MENAFAATKAN.SEBAB TENAGA KERJA ITALY INI SEBENARNYA TIDAK MAHU MENANGGUNG KOS PENGELUARAN SEPERTI KERETA KELUARAN MEREKA DAHULU FIAT YANG KURANG SAMBUTAN TERUTAMA UNTUK MENEMBUSI PASARAN AMERIKA DAN ASIA.
5) SEKALI LAGI PEMECAHAN FIKIRAN (OUT OF THE BOX)PERLU DILAKUKAN UNTUK MENCARI JALAN SASARAN GOLONGAN MANA PERLU DISASARKAN SUPAYA KITARAN SEPERTI KERETA FIAT TIDAK AKAN BERULANG KEMBALI.
7) PERCAYAKAH KITA CARA PEMASARAN KERETA KELUARAN NEGARA KOREA HYUNDAI ADALAH YANG TERBAIK KERANA MENGAMALKAN KUALITI YANG TERBAIK,HARGA YANG RENDAH YANG TIDAK TERLALU BERKIRA DENGAN SAIZ KENDERAAN.
8) KONSEP INI WALAUPUN TIDAK DAPAT MEMBUAT UNTUNG SECARA MENDADAK TETAPI DAPAT MENGEKALKAN SECARA JANGKA PANJANG KERANA BUDAYA TERHADAP NILAI KEBAIKAN ADA DALAM URUS NIAGA INI.
9) PENAWARAN YANG TIDAK SEBAIK DARI KERETA PESAING KEMUNGKINAN AKAN MELENYAPKAN DALAM JANGKA MASA YANG PENDEK KERANA MANUSIA SUDAH PUN BERKIRA-KIRA TERHADAP PENAWARAN YANG LEBIH BAIK SEPERTI KERETA GREEN CAR YANG MENGIKUT PEREDARAN ZAMAN.
WALLAHU’ALAM
Assalammualaikum Tun,
Sebelum saya memulakan “emel” ini, seperti biasa, saya memohon kepada Tun supaya tidak menyiarkan komen ini kepada umum. Saya ingin memohon sudi kiranya Tun meluangkan masa untuk berjumpa dengan saya serta abang saya. Kami ingin meluahkan serta berkongsi permasalahan yang kami hadapi dengan Proton Holdings.
Bermula dari hari kami membuat bayaran “booking” hinggalah ke hari ini, kami tidak putus-putus menghadapi masalah dengan Proton. Secara ringkasnya, masalah yang saya maksudkan adalah berkaitan dengan mutu kualiti keluaran Proton.
Saya telah pun menghubungi Pengurus Urusan, Proton Holdings, Datuk Syed Zainal Abidin melalui emel mengenai permasalahan yang kami adik beradik hadapi. Namun, pihak Proton seolah-olah ingin lari daripada tanggungjawab dan ingin menyembunyikan fakta daripada kami serta masyarakat.
Sekiranya Tun bertanya kepada Datuk Syed Zainal, saya yakin Datuk akan ingat kepada kami adik beradik serta ayahanda kami.
Kami adik beradik beruntung kerana ayahanda kami mempunyai semangat patriotik yang tinggi hingga sanggup menaja (memberi subsidi) kami untuk membeli kereta Proton Exora.
Saya tidak dapat menjelaskan secara teperinci mengenai permasalah ini, kerana terlalu banyak. Cukuplah saya nyatakan kereta saya hingga kehari ini telah berumur 46 hari (dari tarikh di daftarkan di JPJ), namun 30 hari daripada hayat kereta ini berada didalam jagaan Proton bagi pembaikpulihan atau pun pemeriksaan. Saya hanya dapat menggunakan kereta saya selama 16 hari.
Saya amat berharap, sudi kiranya Tun meluangkan masa untuk kami adik beradik yang pacal yang hina ini bagi meluahkan serta berkongsi pengalaman kami. Saya yakin, pengaruh Tun dapat memperbetulkan penyelewengan yang dilakukan oleh Proton Holdings.
Kiranya Tun sanggup meluangkan masa, saya boleh dihubungi melalui emel ataupun
Wassalam.

Asalamualiakum YAB Tun yang di kasihi,semoga sihat sihat selalu insyallah. You gave birth to Proton,and saw ir grew from day one to age 25 It was not without ups and down which is called the growing pain,and to support the new born I bought the first version of Proton car and used it for 5 years before I traded in for the new version of proton and used it for five years before I traded in for yet another proton the Iswara which I used for another five years before I traded in for a new kancil.Malaysian must support the National car, only then it can grow into manhood. I am sure with your support YAB Tun Proton will someday be a world class cars. I suggest you persuade President Murbarak of Egypt to change all the boneshakers fiat taxis that are still being used in Cairo to Proton Saga taxis. Terima kasih Yab Tun semoga di beri Allah panjang umor dengan kasihatan yang baik. wasalamualikum.
Dear Tun,
2. Malaysians will not be able to buy it for a long time but even though the car was designed for the world market it would first appear on Malaysian roads.
Question: Why?
2nd Question: What about safety? Crash tested?
Tun, I wish Proton well. For you it is obviously more than just an Auto company.
I’m sure you are enjoying your role as adviser. It is unusual to be adviser to be both adviser to the national car company and the national Oil and Gas company!
I have a strategy that works on a synergy between the two.
I believe there is plenty of potential for implementing proposals that address corporate and social goals whilst remaining fiscally responsible.

Assalamualakium Tun..
Congratulations to you Tun.Your brand (Proton) have becomed the world brand and becoming improved year by year. I do hope that by Proton producing this sophisticated car currently, it will not make Proton running from producing affordable and quality car for Malaysian.
Assalammualaikum Ayahanda Tun dan isteri, semoga sihat wal-afiat dan dipanjangkan umur oleh Allah s.w.t,
Sesuatu yang menarik tentang Proton yang mampu membuat concept car yang akan digunakan dijalanraya dalam masa setahun dua ni. Dan yang mengkagumkan adalah penggunaan enjin hibrid yang mampu mengurangkan penggunaan minyak dan mengurangkan kesan green house. Saya amat berbangga dengan Datuk Syed Zainal Abidin yang mampu mengurus satu pasukan yang cekap dan membawa keuntungan kepada Proton dalam masa yang singkat. Saham Proton di BSKL semakin meningkat dan menunjukkan kemampuan syarikat membuat peningkatan keuntungan setiap tahun dan pihak pengurusan yang berwibawa. Saya mohon Ayahanda Tun memaklumkan kepada Proton untuk mengkaji enjin kereta yang hanya menggunakan angin untuk menggerakkan keempat-empat roda. Telah diguna dan dijual di perancis (AIR CAR)yang menggunakan air compressor untuk menjana udara yang disimpan di dalam tabung (macam kereta ngv) dan akan dikeluarkan secara besar-besaran di Amerika Syarikat. Lambat laun Malaysia dan dunia akan kehabisan minyak, penggunaan kereta solar, elektrik, hibrid dan angin pasti menjadi kenyataan. Wassallam
salam Tun,
6. I may be wrong (and as usual many comments will tell me I am wrong) but I think the journalists and the hundreds of motorcar enthusiasts who visited the stand were impressed by the many unique features of the car.
HAHAHA I TOO MAY BE WRONG TUN BUT I THINK THAT THE ONES WHO WANT TO PROVE YOU WRONG HERE ARE MOSTLY MOTIVATED BY RACIST ISSUES.THEY CANNOT BEAR TO COMPREHEND THAT MALAYS ARE NOT THE STEREOTYPES THAT THEY WANT TO PORTRAY.
THEY ARE IN FOR A BLOODIED NOSE.
