APs are a real harm to our industries. They can impose APs to forcefully strengthened Bumiputras to have a strong foothold at Malaysia’s Automobile industries, being so ignorant of international laws, Malaysia can anytime impose APs for handphones, computers or even your cha siew pau or chee cheong fun …. anything can change then. Perhaps cybercafe or mamak stalls as well ? Oh ya, maybe blogs too. Paul, you rock; but nowhere near fireangel

The majority of bumis does not benefitted from the AP's. Instead of reading too many flower plantng blog and fishing blog, you ought to seek the truth.

p.s. delete my post if *ingolstadt* decides to kill himself and eventually did.

my point is simple: let us base the argment on facts (not general assumptions)..

Stop being a 'malaysian' can you? we need some freedom of speech here.

Nothing to contribute then read, felt inflicted by comments then change your mindset, too old to change your mindset then buzz off, go read some fishing blog, or flower-planting blog.

so what, no offence but cars under DRB-HICOM sucks big time. Ask those who purchase them. I guess guys from Chevrolet, Citroen, Honda, Mahindra, Suzuki, Audi and Mitsubishi should go to audit DRB-Hicom from time to time

___________________________________________________________________________

Honda, Suzuki Audi & Mitsubishi are Great cars in terms of design, build quality etc.

How do judge them as "sucks"????

On a different note, it's about time the Principal Importer, Distributor and Sales companies are granted the APs. They do all the hard work while two fellas( who have close ties with MITI) undeservingly reap rewards from doin nothing but sitting on papers (APs)

Govt should take it further and award the APs only to the Principal companies Malaysian Branches such as Daimler Chrysler Malaysia, UMW Toyota , BMW (M) , Honda Malaysia, VW Malaysia etc.

Price will be cheaper or more expensive?

Coz currently like Suzuki Swift, is hard to get at KL already due to all the current stock nearly sold out and the 2006 batch is still on hold due to the price increase as estimate will increase RM8,000 but heard government don't approve that therefore still on hold.

Once I file a complaint to Lembaga Penguna, about oil leak problem with my bike. There she was sharing with me her story about Waja and its radiator problem. Note that guys, Lembaga Penguna! She is one of the judge between the bike dealer and me. Who going to fight if you have car problems and customer support issues?

Yesterday, I saw Gen2 at a road show with reduce price. There is also a Quality improvement with the Gen2, none of the wheel with disc breaks! Or I just can't see. Next I notice is dangling soft plastic cover attachment near the side mirror adjuster. "Must glue this piece just after buy this car".

Oh well.. MyVi is the best option now. All the AP and NAP rubbish talks, that wasted their time and ours too. Proton can't survive without G support like other company, it never will. And G can't survive from money earning from car taxes.

I like the 2nd car idea!! Yah that will be great too, import 2nd car from Thailand and Singapore. Let Malaysia be 2nd dumping ground, "Boleh! …(beli)". Malaysia can't be Automotif Hub instead 2nd Hub… Just my sound of frustration.

Now is the time to go into 2nd car market. Agree?

why not just buy 2nd hand cars instead? loads of them around n not like singapore COE. Give the local car industry a shock and see how the government react to it.

We can’t say what we want but we still can buy what we wish.

Yes throw away our ego on buying"new and over price cars,(some more depreciate so fast),"

we buy second hand non-national cars.the G wont listen to you but you may take action that will be effective.

We can't say what we want but we still can buy what we wish.

G can now tax directly to those who wanted to buy foreign cars. afterall there's no thing such as protective policy for our p1 & p2

this will eliminate issues like …AP king , MITI roles, car prices.

hahahah….. if the real life is as simple as that.

i dont think cars like audi, suzuki, honda or even mitsu are lousy cars right?

but thats just something i heard.

as expected, the first people to get a whole big bunch of APs after the nap announcement was naza.
