AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express mixed sentiments about Malaysia's automotive policies and leadership, with many skeptical about change after 52 years of government control, especially relating to AP (Authorized Permit) monopoly, high car prices, and tax policies. Some hope Mukhriz and Mustapa will implement positive reforms, while others doubt genuine change will occur soon, citing ongoing corruption and protection of cronies. The auto industry is seen as heavily influenced by politics, with concerns about increased costs for non-national cars and the continuation of policies favoring certain groups. Despite cynicism, there's some support for leadership figures like Mukhriz, with hopes he will reduce unfair practices and better utilize Malaysia's resources. Overall, commenters desire tangible improvements affecting daily vehicle ownership and costs.
