Good move by Proton to penetrate international market again and make more money. yesterday alone our another GLC, MAS post a record profit of RM800m for 2007. Good job by Idris Jala. If we had 10 Idris Jala in Malaysia, I believe Perwaja and RapidKL can move towards a good direction (the RapidKL hired a Dutch man but still nothing to proud of). What is/are the nice thing from Proton next week? Discount? --------------------------------------------------------- Public transportation is never meant to be profitable.

To some extent there is also excitement in Proton in terms of turning people's perception about its products. We have seen Persona, and then Saga. Recently we have also seen Waja CPS though there's no news about it making an apprearance in the market. We also heard about the first ever MPV. Overall I see it is in on the right track. The India auto industry is less popular then it is today especially when Tata announced its Nano project. It seems that the world has turned into the Indian market more than before. So much so that I want to see Proton is successful, I hope that it is careful enough in executing its deal for export market. Indian may look promising but by now everybody is eyeing it and I foresee stiff competition. Good luck. There seems to be hope in the direction Proton is heading.

Cost efficiency is very important, and I don't think the Saga can sell unless it is priced as low as the hatchbacks (swift, atos, indica) which is around 3-5lakh. Maruti-Proton or Bajaj-Proton perhaps? The business model is good, however I wish that the cars will bear the Proton brand, instead of the China’s Europestar.
