I would love to use public transportation if only it could connect the entire Klang Valley properly. I’ve used the buses and trains in Singapore and it was brilliant. I didn’t need a car.
Our new MRT doesn’t address the problem properly. For instance, why was Old Klang Road left out of the MRT planning.

Whether proton exists or not, car prices will always going to be sky high. Proton was created so that average people can afford to own cars. Proton is not the reason for the high car prices, in fact proton is the saviour for average people who wants to own cars. Take an example of big bikes. What’s the reason for high big bike prices? Protecting who? Surely not Modenas.

You cannot even spell the word knob properly.

You know what I said is true. I must have touched a raw nerve here. Do you work for P1 or one of P1′s suppliers?
P1 is the reason we Malaysians cannot buy the cars of our dreams and you know it. With the all the taxes and restrictions in place, so many models cannot come into our market on the pretext of not wanting to destroy P1′s sales. Get your facts right. If your beloved P1 collapses, our economy won’t collapse. Our economy is not automotive dependant. Are you that dense? Only the men behind P1 will feel the pinch. Note the word pinch not loss.

Because, our Malaysian mentality, ” Why should I travel via public transport?? I’m not that poor, i’ve my own Golf GTi!!”…for example. Believe it or not, this is the answer i got from my colleagues. If you ride a motorbike to your work place, that’s not a symbol you are poor! Just helping the traffic more smoothly and avoid wasting of time on the congested road!… This is our most Malaysia mentality~

Gov have done what it should be done like decentralising hot places such as putrajaya, nusajaya, cyberjaya etc2. But still people are going in to klang valley. Why? U ask them.

last year, i can go out 7.15 am, this year 6.45 am, next year… 6.15 am
build more roads and hire more traffic police not a good solution because we have been building so many tolled roads but still traffic jams
any other solutions… cannot ask MAA for the answer

So their budget only permits them to get base spec Toyota or Honda etc which lack the necessary safety features. Don’t blame the consumer. Its the policy makers who come up with all of the restrictions to protect P1.

Now you blame MAA? Ford offers safe cars for 70k. What do people buy? Dangerous ones for 150k. The average buyer doesn’t care about safety, and there is more money to be made with unsafe cars since you can safe a few bucks when leaving away all the safety features and using lower quality materials. When people gladly pay for that, of course this will continue.

Toyota even REMOVED ESP/VSC from the 2.4V because there was no demand for that feature.

Well spec’ed and modern Toyotas don’t sell very well, only the lousy ones are popular. Not even Toyota can be blamed for this.

The only competition Toyota has in pickup truck region is Isuzu.
To me, Isuzu is extremely impressive on market sales. One product only make it best selling. Just a big wow. Seen more Isuzu in Borneo.
