Proton recorded a pre-tax loss of RM4.3 million for the first quarter 2005 ended June 30 2005 compared to the previous pre-tax profit of RM198.3 million in the corresponding quarter.
Proton said the loss was due to higher allowances for doubtful debts, higher component costs and reduction in sales volume.
Selamat Hari Merdeka!
A few Satria R3 owners have started a blog called The R3gister. It’s tagline goes “The unofficial resource site for everything Satria R3 LEV”. I guess I don’t have to explain what the blog is about. Head on to The R3gister if you want to know more about the Satria R3 and read first hand reviews and ownership experiences. Good effort by Vernon, Prozac51 and Jakuuzeeman.
Dr. M has spoken again on the AP issue after a long silence. He was in Gurun, Kedah recently attending the 80th birthday bash that Naza Automotive Manufacturing Sdn Bhd had hosted for him.
There must be a balance. If the APs are to be issued, let them not reach a point where they can kill Proton and if Proton is allowed to progress, let it not come to a point where it kills other parties.
He didn’t mention any particular formula or ratio though. Anyone think this would work?
