Some of your points are quite obvious and I couldn't understand how smart corporate people fail to understand or even bother about it. On Nadzmi, I do not know his ability yet as I've never work with him. All I can say those buses on the street under his command / managing hands don't look any better than any other poorly managed buses. But it'll be unfair to judge him base on that. Anyway, he's just a Chairman and hopefully he does no intervene much any positive moves in plan. Anyway, good luck for Nadzmi and SY0H and others as well. Happy Nu Year. SY0H,

My first orderly action will be to totally wipe-out Proton Juara (also known as Proton Peti-Ais) from Proton's mindset. Install that darn CPS in Persona. Make Proton cheap so "Now Everyone Can Own A Good Decent Quality National Car" (sorry Air Asia, I have to borrow your slogan a bit). Increase the engine's displacement of the new Proton MPV to minimum 2.0 centimeter.cubic (cc). Make at least single Air Bags, ABS and EBD as a MUST for all Proton model (including Base Line models). Wipe out any 3rd party companies (outsourcing) which supplies poor quality spare parts and materials to Proton. Award BIG bonuses to workers who actually perform. Kick ass all those overpaid pretty boy-in-tuxedo at the HR and Management departments and award better pay to engineers, technicians, draftsperson whom have work their crap out day and night.
