Maybe just a hope la... for now. Proton is now VERY HEAVILY depands on Japan & Korean technology, thus supplier, developing its new models. Friends, do you think that those foreign suppliers would HELP Proton built cars with their heart & soul? For me, don't dream la! No other NATION in this world would help other nation build an industry that later, kill their own. So, my opinion is that whatever the obstacles and no matter how hard we have to learn, we have to build cars on our own. So watch out and please learn Proton! If not, than better let yourself go, otherwise you are just burdening the nation as it is now. Hope Proton to follow suit…..?
