		<description>Malaysia has ridiculous tax bracket for imported vehicle?? Given the choice between Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, I would still choose Malaysia to live. Thailand too unstable, Indonesia too poor, Singapore too expensive.

Damn.. Malaysia is haven.</description>

		<description>But VW or other come in for FDI, we just can utilize foreign capital and expertise to earn foreign currency for us. Without good infra, well educated, highly professional, good English command level, etc. It is very difficult to attract FDI. 

Do not accuse foreigner not willing to teach if the local don&#039;t want or lack of interest to learn in the first place! For those willing to learn, they even can be better than foreigner! Don&#039;t be playing blame game and in the state of denial.</description>

		<description>haha
he is just ROTF. 

left out the LMAO or LMHO. 

the difference between having proton and having foreign companies investing here is that with proton-only as the sole car company in the country (which it is)....the money is being made is being taken from our own citizens and most goes to the coffers of cronies or dodgy vendors or anyone who was awarded the contracts. whichever way u see it. this money doesnt flow back to the citizens. its like having a business but only selling products to your own brother and sisters for a profit. does the family gain any profit?

with foreign car companies making us as a base for ASEAN market, we can tap into profits from other nations. it creates more jobs....more people can feed thier families and learn new skills acquire new technology. note intel, seagate, dell, shell and countless others benefitting the general public in wages and knowledge. 

proton shouldnt lose too much in the partnership. they may get vws build quality and lotus handling. however good that may be. and a better engine to replace the campro which is 10 years too late. and finally be able to make a good sportscar as well as bread and butter cars.</description>

		<description>Being blind defender and crony agent, in no way he will see the important of well being of the people. 

&quot;Japan build factory in thai = thai only got money to buy food.. all profit go to japan. same as other country..&quot;

This is a BigMouthPrrrrth talking nonsense!  

I don&#039;t mind VW set up plant here, bring in latest technology, train our engineer, technician and provide job opportunity to unemploy graduates, pay corporate tax, etc.

Our corporate tax is 28%, if VW export 190K units and sold 10K units in domestic market. That means 95% of profit  is come from export and tax gain by G is 28% - 5% = net 23% of the tax still come from oversea market. There is a net inflow of monies into our country! The balance 78% profits bring back to German by VW is all earn from export market and we lost nothing. It is a win-win formula.

Mr. Protonomics, do you know how to do the math.</description>

Japan build factory in thai = thai only got money to buy food.. all profit go to japan. same as other country.. 

I dont mind.. later if the right way..  proton will be like other japan car company = bring money to malaysia. 

&quot;VW just purely make good biz decision to safe guard its investment by considering Thai as a potential site for its factory.&quot;
BigCrap!, they just think the&#039;re too great! Go away VW, not all people like your GTI!.. we had more padang golf than your golf gti.!</description>

		<description>here is a good article highlighting a few important facts

http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=47121

note how many cars thailand exported to a &#039;free&#039; market and how they are set to even export alot more in the future. Thailand (154,979) supplied behind japan. also note thai supplies to japan and other asean countries as well and to global markets as well. 

also note how many china cars were imported/or bought. 

dont bother asking how many proton cars were sold. it would take more than 350 years to do what thai supplied in 1 year. 

i&#039;d say we take up the VW deal and hope others will follow suit.</description>

		<description>If we hypothesize VW set up plant here, they will bring along the best tech to our shore and train our young engineers and other technician just like what Dell doing in Penang. Our country having around 100K unemployed graduate, if this FDI pour in, at least VW can reduce the unemployed statisitic by few K, G can collect corporate tax, etc.</description>

		<description>If the partnership talk failed, G still can take initiative by invite VW to set up plant here with all kind of incentive. Just imaging if VW pour in USD 900 milllion into our auto sector, with target production of few hundred K units for export and domestic market, the multiplier effect is definitely greater than what P1 achieved.</description>

		<description>So, after AFTA set in, our country will be flooded with all cars imported from Thai/Indon that supposely the reverse if they set up their factory in our country. See the 2-way lost in money flow!</description>

		<description>After VW, It is likely no one interested to tie up with P1 if they ever talk on looking for foreign partner again in future. The likely scenario is just salvage TM factory at great discount price.</description>

		<description>can anyone tell me if proton can save the country 3 billion in savings? lose 3 billion just to keep proton afloat in the only country where it can sell and is doing so pretty badly even with a big advantage. 

and to think thats the only total investment for the plant only. beyond that is alot more. building cars for the world&#039;s consumption. paying continuous wages for the people. 

when afta sets in, we lose the advantage even more since all this money that could have been can give other industries a stimulus as well. they export everything and many cars, u export a paltry proton that no one wants. 

case closed.</description>

		<description>LittleFire85, no point you mentioned G harga warta to blind defender and/or cronies agent provocateur, they will argue untill the cow come home that without NAP, the price of the car won&#039;t be that low. However, look at Middle East car pricing on the road, most of the Proton models sold there is even below cost.</description>

		<description>proton will always be a failure. there is no doubt about it. with or without proton around. cars will be about the same price. benefit of being proton or protonless would not make much difference to the economy. though it would generate much better job opportunities and income for all levels of society if we were the automotive hub of asean instead of thailand. 


proton and its related businesses cannot sustain an economy of a whole country no matter how successful it is. and in our case it doesnt even begin to break even. even if it did break even, the profit only comes out of you. and is blowing away opportunities that the country could have had. 

can just imagine thailand lower, middle and upper class getting richer and richer and driving higher quality cars. for me, buying another proton is too makes us poorer and make thailand richer. i dont want that so i wont buy a proton.</description>

		<description>Those blind defender self proclaimed &quot;comments is always too true to see&quot; is likely the &quot;agent provocateur&quot; of crony. They act like cyber trooper in PT blog to spread lies and endless lies to protect the crony interest in P1. They are not interested on P1 achievement and the welfare of the consumers, but just to ensure the cronies still enjoy easy monies flow to their pocket.</description>
