Look at all the unsold parked cars in Proton’s factory in Shah Alam. Manufacturing capacity doesn’t seem to be a problem for Proton. The problem is selling all the cars.
Picture by Bloomberg.
Somehow Proton does not realise that it’s declining sales are because the we, the rakyat are sick of them shortchanging us on the quality control issues. The export market Protons are of so much higher quality than ours. Proton Persona vs. Proton Wira. Anyone would take the Persona anyday. Proton used to hold 60% of the auto industry but it’s share dropped to 44% last year, a steady decline from 48% in 2003.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments strongly criticize Proton’s quality, highlighting frequent problems, poor manufacturing, and subpar after-sales service. Many express frustration over overpriced, unreliable cars with issues like water leakage, body weakness, engine problems, and poor interior finish. Some point out Proton’s reliance on government protection and foreign collaborations, which allegedly hinder genuine innovation. Comparatively, users praise Perodua and foreign brands like Toyota and Hyundai for better quality, durability, and value. Several comments call for Proton to admit failures, improve R&D, and focus on quality rather than protectionist policies. A recurring sentiment is disappointment in Proton’s inability to modernize and compete globally, with fears of its eventual collapse if it fails to improve. Overall, the tone is negative, emphasizing the need for major reforms.
