Last Sunday, Iran president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad opened a car plant that is said to be the biggest in the Middle East. It belongs to state-run automobile company Saipa. Located in the city of Kashan, the US$50 million facility has the capacity to manufacture 150,000 vehicles annually.
To offer 4,000 jobs, the plant will build locally designed small cars called the Tiba (deer). The latest Tiba (pictured above), also unveiled by Ahmadinejad on the same day, is priced between US$8,000 to US$9,000, targeting lower middle-class buyers.
“This is the first Iranian vehicle with Iranian characteristics as it is designed and manufactured by Iranians. Tiba is the symbol of our confidence in ourselves. The Iranian nation has shown that despite sanctions and pressures from enemies, we have have resisted and have progressed,” the Islamic Republic’s president was quoted as saying on state owned media. “The quality of our cars should be such that if an Iranian wants to buy a vehicle, he must prefer home-made ones,” Ahmadinejad added.
Iran is the largest automobile manufacturer in the Middle East with more than 1.4 million vehicles produced last year. Of that figure, Saipa contributed 54% while state-run Iran Khodro made the rest. Saipa has tie-ups with Kia and Renault, while Iran Khodro collaborates with Peugeot. Most of the cars assembled in Iran are past gen models, with the exception of the Dacia Logan range, which is called Renault Tondar in Iran.
Here’s an interesting fact. Iran has banned importing vehicles which compete with locally made models, which have to be paid for in cash. Luxury vehicles are allowed, but only after paying 90% customs duty!
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
.peroton , u r outdated la..
altho got heavy 90% tax , (malaysian tax can be 200%) the locally made cars is only between US$8,000 to US$9,000
Proton is 1st Muslim Car Manufacturer..
Saipa is the 2nd..
Saipa build cars since 1966 bro.
wow. presiden iran pandu kereta sendiri dalam jalan yg penuh sesak tanpa kereta2 pengawal. hehe
if not mistaken proton ada projek usahasama dgn kereta iran..
Iran Khodro is the company which JV with Proton. The model available there are Gen2, Impian (Waja), and Saga. Look what economic sanction mean to them. Build it yourself. Iran even setup a project to produced 150 seats airplane.
president iran bwak kete, air cond pon x pasang, siap bukak tingkap lg
Inneresting!
So no more protons in Iran?
Iran model this (90% custom duty) based on malaysia’s own model!
they copied our one and truly “great” idea!!!
maybe we can sue iran?
then after our G got all the money that they initially want from us (they get it from Iran instead) and give to 2 Ps and then everyone in Malaysia will drive Merc and Beemers and Audi (if i can drive Renaultsport Megane will be happy edy!)….rich people will drive Lambos, Fezzas…its a win win!!
Only 90% duty? in Malaysia used to be 300% import duty and other excise duties as well.
Wow!
Even Iran also had their own “Protons/Peroduas”
Autocar industry will be very competitive …..
Even though they might not yet to go overseas
but its a good step out for autocar industry!
this one equip with scud missiles.. to be used when necessary.
Asshole mentality. It’s a joke, I know. But must we relate everything from middle east with missiles and bombs? They are good people too.
LOL, well. as what Iron Man Said. World Peace is about who is having a bigger stick. Nothing wrong they trying to find bigger stick. XD
just a laugh, I was about to say that won’t be needed any missile device. Only need bigger boot for more TNT.
How is associating a nation with car bombs considered funny?
Hmmmm….. Where have I seen that kind of policy…. Can’t recall at the moment ….
90% duty is comparable to Malaysia right?
Good regulation.Something to think about.
-keep price down
-cash transaction-old car won’t depreciate much
-good for economy in the long run
-interest rate and inflation won’t effect much on the market
-imported car that must be taxed (when there’re local alternatives)
They don’t protect certain company, they protect the industry as a whole.
But, actually they controlled the industry as the Iranian gov own both major players.
90% stil lower than us !!
i tink thr is a very protected market,the thing is,the biggest plant in the middle east,at a cost of 50mil….!
is it nuclear powered?
your car is nuclear powered my fwen
i just hv a thought on this.. haha..
LOL! Good QUESTION! I wonder too.
another malaysia in the making? hmmm
What happened to the brotherhood ties btw M’sia + Iran.?
We were so gung-ho supporting Iran at the United Nations.
At the end of the day – biasalah P1 got played out to
a better > reputable manufacturer !! Apa-lah !!!
I think sudah ‘kena’ la… They sold this ‘islamic’ car idea during our previous PM…. And we bought it hook, sink & barrel.
I’m not sure how an ‘islamic’ car would any different though….
Clever…. Very clever indeed
Is it nuclear generated car? ;P
Wanna be Mahathir.. when is the next tallest building in the world?
bro. karakter dia berbeza la dengan Mahathir.
1) dia hanya tinggal di rumah kecil bukan di istana. istana dijadikan muzium. Rumahnya hanya sebuah flat kecil di kawasan rakyat miskin.
2) bawak sendiri peugeot tahun 1970 an
3) rumah tak ada pembantu rumah yg ramai, tak ada bodyguard dll
4) dia dtg ke indonesia pun hanya tgl di kedutaan iran. tak mahu tgl di hotel mewah walaupun kerajaan indonesia nak tanggung
5) sanggup sapu sampah petang2 dan kdg2 pakai baju tukang sapu sampah.
6) dia x penah salam ngan mana2 wanita bukan mahram
7) apabila dengar solat, dia akan berhentikan kereta dan solat di tepi jalan
8) sebaik pegang jawatan Datuk Bandar Tehran, masalah kesesakan dpt diatasi. dia ada phd dlm bidang pengurusan pengangkutan
kesimpulan = seorang yg hidup cukup sederhana, tidak penting dunia. hanya tinggal di flat di kawasan rakyat miskin tapi masa yg sama cuba membangunkan iran sbg sebuah kuasa maju Islam. sy btl2 kagum walaupun ekonomi disekat masih mampu bangunkan negara Iran. betul2 komited dgn program nuklear untuk menjana elektrik dan kuasa.
bagi saya dia tak akan majukan idea2 Mhathir macam Putrajaya, menara paling tinggi ( skrg dah tak tinggi ) dan lain2.
maaf. apabila dgr azan bukan dgr solat
another “malaysia” ?? hahahaha typical
i thought malaysia has the highest car price in the world…
this is sure an eye-opening for some people in malaysia… but one eye closed for the others…
Looks nice and far better than proton, please bring it here…
Or.. you can go there and buy one. And stay there. Cheaper and your everyday life would be much better for not seeing Protons which you hate most, driven all around you.
What say you?
I think Proton is better. But i like this president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, very charismatic, very brave.. hope Malaysia n Iran will hv a good relationship to the benefits for both countries..
hope too. i like ahamadinejad attitude sanggup tinggal di rumah flat buruk berbanding istana mewah dan guna kereta tahun 1970 an. memandu sendiri pulak tu. dari segi keserderhanaan, kelantangan bersuara dan wawasan yg dipunyainya memang saya kagum. waiting malaysia will have PM like Iran President
so protection only for p1 only ka?? p2, naza, inokom, (insert local company here) not protected too? shame on basher..
Then don’t protect anyone!!
With all the infrastructure and spare capacity we have,
… thrust me
our motor industry will head north !!
Without protection of nascent industry, a huge amount of our money goes out of the country. This would lead to inflationary pressures on the economy. What if the construction industry is opened to foreign developers who can provide better housing, infrastructure and value. What about our Oil and Gas industry which really protects local businesses? No one talks about that. Coz if they do open all of local opportunities to Multi National Companies, none of of our local companies can compete. Foreign competitors have the funding, the marketing and political bindings that we could never be on par with. How can you say the industry heads onwards when market sizes of India and China is too big to ignore?
Free Trade is just another propaganda of the big Multi National Industries. See what it has done to Central Americas. See how Europe teeters on the brink of another meltdown. No one in Europe can say they did not know how bad Greece was. They just closed one eye. They should call this Greed Trade.

======================================================
What is happening in China ? Are they facing any problems? Inflation?
In fact China is on the up and up. Their motoring is also booming.
Who built the twin towers ? UEM ? No way, it was the Koreans and Japanese.
If you close your economy then you’re doomed.
We need FDI too , if not might as well ask all the MNC’s/foreign banks to ship
out cos they taking out their money.
They have to put back some of the $$$ too
into the M’sia’s economy via taxation / re-investment / expansion.
Don’t be bodoh sombong !!
Yeah, but look at the quality of life for the average citizen in China. >_> The reason they can compete is because they provide the cheapest labor in the world. Their people get paid pittance for doing work. Even we can’t compete with that because we set our standards a bit higher. All of our factories that were once producing stuff for companies are now being shipped out to China because labor costs are cheaper there.
China, at the same time, also has a booming industry of their own that is on the up and up too. And once they’re comfortable with that, they can remove their protections and everything. We are not fully ready for that right now.
agree with you. cuba lihat china sblm bukak pasaran dan selepas bukak pasaran. saya rasa sbb dasar terbuka china maka China telah meningkat maju berkali2 ganda.
kalau kita amal dasar tutup ekonomi, cuba fikir. adakah negara lain bersedia membuka pasaran mereka untuk negara kita? jadi siapa yg akan beli bahan2 mentah dari negara2 kita, apalagi barang sykt luar yg di buat di Penang, di Selangor ? FDI tu penting.
have to agree with that one..
I thrust you!!
I went to Iran once many2 years ago. The cars on the road then were mostly very old n shabby looking. Didn’t know that they have their own local car brand. I suppose now their cars would be better looking! Good for Iran!!
Wow.. they pay cash for cars. I wonder if Malaysians need to pay cash for cars.. overnight the jam problem will be a thing of a past ;p
freaky dictator!!somehow the car resembles a Seat Leon.agree?
it is not a dictator thingy..its just bcos iranian have a very good nationality spirit..
long live Iran president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad! a great leader of all time!
yup. long live Iran President. Hopefully our PM akan mencontohi kesederhanaan Mahmud Ahamadiniejad, Presiden Iran ni dah cukup baik dah.
Tapi rasa2 sanggupkah PM kita tinggal di rumah flat di kawasan rakyat miskin, memandu sebuah kereta tahun 1970 an sbg kereta rasmi dan sukarela menyapu sampah setiap petang di tepi2 jalanraya dengan memakai baju pekerja majlis bandaran. kalau boleh buat 3 benda tu saya jamin dato najib tak akan kalah pada PR. tapi ?
bn i doubt also if anwar can do d same as ahmadinejad
guess dat he’s too busy politicking until he forgot his people in permatang pauh
well said, ur time is over anwar
better u move on to israel, live there till u old n died there
hahaha
why people always worshipped anwar like he’s a GOD?
oh my, dont forget what damages he cause to malaysia?
only hate anwar, the clown of the century
Most important feature of the car…hidden compartment for bombs and when let off, the car can burst into sharp objects for maximum effect!
90% tax is cheap lah for sheiks to buy!
C’mon man… That’s very nasty. And not even remotely funny.
Like I said before, asshole with not a funny joke.
what??u think that iranian luv war?stupid..
really not funny..
Yup..not funny!!
yup…not funny..ashole!!
very narrow minded.
Cars from China, we joke about their quality, cars from India, we joke whether the roof can stand extra passengers, cars from Potong Malaysia, of course many more jokes, so cars from Middle East jokes about terrorist lah! You guys are too serious, man!
Banggang mentality
agree.
agree
Terrorism ain’t funny, dumbass. Find something else like those idiot Iranian drug smugglers that keeps getting caught.
Can we make joke about your mom? Now that would be funny ain’t it dawg?
terrorism is not something y can playground with…
kimi..
sham on you…
baru tengok gambar sekeping dah puji far better than proton & suruh bawah masuk malaysia…
u shameless basher…

paul,

There are some uncalled for nasty comments about Iran, Iranian people, and their endeavors. I think most English speaking Malaysians are brainwashed by Western Media. Iran is the most democratic country in the Middle East, and it has a long history of being dominated and abused by Western powers – British, French, German, American. We almost never get our foreign news from sources like China or Japan.
Iran is a developing country greatly handicapped by Western led sanctions, suspicions, and political meddling towards regime change to one that would protect Western oil interests in West Asia.
true..true..
agree with u..
I wouldn’t call them the “most democratic” country in the Middle East. Yes, they’re democratic but at the end of the day the Ayatollahs are the ones who control Iran. You have to see that as well.
Yes, Iran is being sanctioned and they could definitely do better without those sanctions but they need to be smart. I don’t disagree with their methods per say…they can speak out against the West but they also must not forget that it is the West that controls what they can do. They should’ve waited until they were much stronger before spouting rhetoric and starting nuclear programs before they were ready.
agree with u. Iran very democratic if you studies their history before islam revolution rule Iran and after islam revolution rule Iran
pilihanraya dipantau oleh badan yang dikawal oleh majlis syura ( bsikap bkecuali, btujuan memastikan hukum islam terpelihara ) bukan badan yg dikawal oleh pemerintah2 iran. Pemerintah tertinggi Iran digelar Imam ( mcm YDPA tetapi lebih berkuasa ) yang dilantik oleh majlis syura Iran manakala Presiden dilantik oleh rakyat. masing2 ada tugas dan bidang kuasa masng2.
plus setiap tahun diadakan pilihanraya untuk memilih pemimpin yang baru
shame on u kimi..
Paul, I read the news from AFP. It said USD350 millions, not USD50 millions as written here.
banyak gak tu. sama dengan RM 1 bilion lebih
Maybe soon they will put nuklear powered engine in their vehical….
soon car bombers will appear in this!
now they need to set up a suicide hotline…
ya man that would be so awesome!
Iran. Has its own nuclear technology and its own car manufacturing capability. Manage to lower tax for the low income people.
Malaysia. Still wondering who could supply the nuclear technology (for Tnb). Still struggling with its power window. Charge 200% to the import cars so only Datuks, Vips and Menteri can drive one.
Conclusion, Malaysia “good”, Iran no good.
We are going backwards!
…and yet compare the lives of people in Iran with people in Malaysia. Honestly, I would pick Malaysia any day.
We are miles ahead of them in terms of development and in terms of our industry.
Nuclear energy is not the future. We need to focus on other methods. It’s a good stop-gap measure but in the end, it’ll cause more problems than solutions We don’t want to be watched constantly and distrusted by everyone constantly.
And “power windows”? Geez man, can’t you pick something else to harp on about?
I know plenty of people who own cars which are imported and they’re not Datuks, VIPs or Menteris. Just saying, it’s not hard to own an imported car.
tahniah Iran memajukan industri automatif walaupun EKONOMI ANDA DISEKAT DUNIA TERMASUK NEGARA2 JIRAN
saya kagum dengan Mahmoud Ahamadinijad sebab
1) dia hanya tinggal di rumah kecil bukan di istana. istana dijadikan muzium. Rumahnya hanya sebuah flat kecil di kawasan rakyat miskin.
2) bawak sendiri peugeot tahun 1970 an
3) rumah tak ada pembantu rumah yg ramai, tak ada bodyguard dll

5) sanggup sapu sampah petang2 dan kdg2 pakai baju tukang sapu sampah.

7) apabila dengar solat, dia akan berhentikan kereta dan solat di tepi jalan
sebaik pegang jawatan Datuk Bandar Tehran, masalah kesesakan dpt diatasi. dia ada phd dlm bidang pengurusan pengangkutan
kesimpulan = seorang yg hidup cukup sederhana, tidak penting dunia. hanya tinggal di flat di kawasan rakyat miskin tapi masa yg sama cuba membangunkan iran sbg sebuah kuasa maju Islam. sy btl2 kagum walaupun ekonomi disekat masih mampu bangunkan negara Iran. betul2 komited dgn program nuklear untuk menjana elektrik dan kuasa.
hopefully rakyat akan terus bg sokongan selagi dia tidak gila kuasa dan lantang bersuara bg membela nasib negara2 Islam yang sering diperkosa USA dan Britain.
i don’t understand why u guys want your “pemimpin” to live in poverty. what u think people from outside country will think when they see our leader like that? do investors have guts to invest in our country if they see our leader don’t have anything?
investor want to invest to trustworthy person/country..so leaders do not need to show off to impress (thats lead to bribery..)..just provide the transparent and honest gov..
SAM
dan bagi yang kata sebab dia hidup miskin maka mindanya misikin, please bukak minda anda
1) kalau mindanya miskin bagaimana ia mampu membina loji nuklear sendiri. cuba baca visinya mengenai nulkear. nuklear bukan sekdar untuk perang, byk lg kegunaan.
2) kalau minda miskin bagaimana ia mampu dpt PHD
3) kalau minda miskin bagaimana ia mampu atasi masalah kesesakan di bandaraya Tehran selama berpuluh2 tahun
4) kalau mindanya miskin bagaimana dia mampu membina jet pejuang, roket, peralatan tentera sendiri
5) kalau mindanya miskin bagaimana ia mampu mengekalkan Iran sbg antara pengeluar minyak tbesar
6) kalau mindanya miskin kenapa rakyat Iran tidak miskin semiskin rakyat Korea Utara walaupun ekonomi mereka disekat di semua penjuru.
7) beliau adalah pemimpin yg menggalakkan penggunaan internet sbg akses kepada media baru dan ilmu baru
8) sebahagian keuntungan sykt2 milik kerajaan dikongsi dgn rakyat. Saham2 diagihkan kepada rakyat setiap tahun apabila dtg keuntungan
9) kalau mindanya miskin kenapa beliau gallakkan rakyatnya belajar tinggi2 di luar negara dan bawa pulang ilmu ke Iran. Mereka tidak ada pelung di USA atau UK sbb tu kita lihat byk rakyat mereka di negara kita.
Dan nak tanya ada tak kita jumpa pemimpin yang arah gambar2 nya tidak digantung di pejabat2 kerajaan, tidak lagi meminta dihampar permaindani merah dll.
visinya walaupun hidup sederhana adalah MELAHIRKAN IRAN YANG MODEN, MAJU DAN ISLAM. saya rasa pembagunan industri auto ni bukti terbaik. bayangkan jika ekonomi mereka tidak disekat USA, maybe mereka akan lebih maju berbanidng kita.
tujuan hidup sederhana adalah supaya dia benar2 paham dgn permasalahan rakyat di sekeliling itu yg saya cuba cakapkan. kalau dibuat survey, lebih ramai rakyat yg suka pemimpin yg tidak hidup mewah lg membazir. tak percaya try pergi wat reasearch.
Perlu ingat byk pemimpin bsikap sederhana mampu memajukan Negara mereka lebih baik. Kalau saudara pernah baca kisah-kisah pemerintahan silam Islam. Islam berjaya menakluk kuasa2 besar spt Sepanyol da Rom adalah salah satu punca sikap kesederhanaan pada pemimpinya.
Pernah baca kisah pemimpin idola kepada Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng ( saya respect orang ni ) iaitu khalifah umar. Khalifah Umar walaupun hidup sederhana tapi zaman dia nak cari rakyat miskin pun sangat2 susah. Perlu ingat sederhana, miskin dan kaya terlampau tu ada beza maksdunya. Plus walau hidup sederhana, diiktiraf pula negara yg dipimpinnya adalah antara negara paling maju di dunia zaman tersebut. Siap boleh takluk sebahagian besar dunia. Jadi apa masalahnya hidup sederhana, saya rasa lebih ramai rakyat yang nak lihat Pemimpin korbankan kereta Rools Royce dan Istana mereka yang dibeli menggunakan wang cukai rakyat.
sila cari buku ” ahamadienead singa baru dunia islam ” tulisan 4 ahli akademik keluaran PTS di kedai2 buku
He is a religionist. It roxx his soxx to believe such things. Just like it roxx ur hedonists soxx to stay in hotels and be rich.
Doesnt change the fact that Ahmadenejad is an arsehole to the world community at large. Yes he may have some points against the west that are valid, but on the whole he’s still a prick for his beliefs and extreme views (this guy is worse than Ibrahim Ali!!!).
Oh and he’s shia btw. Malaysia’s sunni. So even u religionist malaysian muslims who feel good about yourselves thinking he’s supporting some kind of golden age may want to think twice before throwing yourself blindly behind him because of “faith”.
You don’t get it, don’t you. We’re talkin Warren Buffet and the likes here. These people bring old-world spiritual message about wealth and leadership. There are other leaders (well, not many) who live like this too. It ain’t religion, it’s his own brand of professional ethics.
90% is still much lower than 300%. How much does an E90 cost in Iran?
He may be an arsehole, but to the western world. So why are you jumping out of your socks for? Has he ever said anything that offended any Asian countries so far? And Sunni and Shia doesn’t matter where I came from, but I can’t say the same about you.
hey,,,
you are doesnt really understand what paultan fan said,
the leader must live in moderate level and also know how to govern the country wisely and effectively..
don’t judge when leader living in moderate level same with rakyat, the country in poverty…
Its not a big issue,,,
This main point is how the country can be govern in transparency without any corruption and rob wang rakyat…
“don’t judge when leader living in moderate level same with rakyat, the country in poverty…”
unfortunately, that’s not how the world works nowadays. sure that’s what u thinking when u saw a leader who live in poverty. but the world just didn’t see the way u do. and please… Dont judge a leader who live in luxury is corrupt and rob wang rakyat.
diaorang tak paham mksd saya. bila pemimpin tu sanggup hidup kesederhanan means dia bukan jenis pemimpin yg ambil rasuah, bukan jenis pemimpin suka ambil kesempatan. selalunya pemimpin begini yg ikhlas majukan negara. hanya yang ikhlas akan berjaya bangunkan negara jd maju sbb dia akan buat bsungguh2 tanpa niat terselindung.
kalau pernah baca buku sejarah khalifah islam. ambil contoh khalifah umar. hidupnya sgt sederhana. tapi zaman tu negara yang dipimpinnnya diiktiraf adalah antara negara paling maju di dunia. dan mampu pulak memimpin negara2 Eropah dan takluk sebahagian besar dunia. hinggakan LIM GUAN ENG pun contohi khalifah Umar.
untuk yg belum mengenal Ahamadieniejad
cuba baca visi2 dan perancangannya. saya plg tertarik dengan ayat nya mengenai nuklear dalam buku Ahamadiniejad Singa Baru Dunia Islam keluaran PTS, dia ada cakap ” SEKIRANYA DUNIA INI MELIHAT NUKLEAR INI KEJI DAN KAMI TIDAK BOLEH MENGUASAI DAN MEMILIKINYA, MENGAPA PULA KAMU YANG MEMILIKINYA.? SEKIRANYA TEKNOLOGI NUKLEAR INI BAIK UNTUK KAMU, MENGAPA KAMI TIDAK BOLEH JUGA MENGGUNAKANNYA ”
bagi yang anggap dia bsikap macam Ibrahim Ali,
sila baca buku ini yang ditulis oleh 4 orang ahli akademik dari Indonesia. Walaupun seorang pemimpin Islam dan cukup lantang bersuara, tapi Ahmadiniejad bukan seorang yg mengamalkan perkauman. Semua agama dilayan seadilnya. Permusuhan Syiah – Sunni dia tak galakkan ( benda ni refer pada alim ulama untuk dpt gambaran lebih jelas sebab byk media yg minta kita untuk tidak menyokong Iran hanya kerana mereka Syiah. Tapi kalau anda memahami bagaimana mereka rule negara mereka, mereka lebih byk mengikut Islam berbanding kita yang ahli sunnah ni. hukum islam dilaksanakan, sistem pentadbiran islam yg adil untuk semua agama dan kaum diangkat dan sistem ekonomi islam digunapakai )
ini saya petik kenyataannya dalam buku tu yang menunjukkan dia bukan bersikap spt Ibrahim Ali ” Sebagai PELAYAN RAKYAT, saya wajib menjaga kebebasan dan kepentingan masyarakat Republik Islam Iran dan budaya serta kehendak Islam juga menjaga hak2 KEWARNEGARAAN SEMUA RAKYAT IRAN di dalam dan di luar negara ” ” setiap rakyat Iran berhak mendapat hak yang sama, terutama dalam mengembangkan bakat individu ” jadi dimana sikapnya yg saudara kata sama macam Ibrahim Ali.
hidup dlm keadaan yg sederhana, wasatiah.. bukan poverty.. he is one of my idol, pemimpin agung dunia, pentingkan kesejahteraan rakyat dari diri sendiri, seorang pemikir yg hebat!!
Bro cerita pasal kereta la … u want to talk politics don talk here la ,,
cool car??
better than proton??
huh??
really?
please do some googling b4 saying anything people!
the car is out of proportion
the only uglier model is chery qq6
and even the viva or saga have got much much larger interior than this
US$8000 is cheap?
do check average iranian income
and remember the car is sold in full payment only!
soo do some research pls!
the grass is always look greener on the other side.
Malaysia will never good enough for Malaysian.
i think last time paul wrote about jv saipa and proton on budget car..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAIPA
http://paultan.org/2008/07/26/proton-saipa-iran-budget-sedan/
This crazy nuthead had copied Mahathir’s Proton blueprint. Just wonder what happen to Proton export to Iran?? A Waja may cost RM 100k over there even after rakyat subsidized discount!!!
Good job Ahmadinejad!
What next?? Can’t wait to see you annihilate all the infidel with your home-built nuclear ICBMs:P
“In 2009, the average annual salary in Iran was US$4,800. In 2008, 15.6 percent of those without work were university graduates” – wikipedia.
“Enough with the lame bomb joke, shows how dumb you are” – Me.
out of all mid east country…i respect iran most!…with their arm & economic embargo they can survive & be independent…m’sia should learn from iran bout reverse technology
eee… the logo looks like nuclear sign or our three leg minyak angin.
bila waja mau klua? ade sape tau?
bulan 11 insyaallah. harga dalam rm 70 ribu – rm 80 ribu. enjin 1.8 dan 2.0
i like!
Iran stand himself from Uncle Sam and generate new auto industry..
respect them.
not american puppet like some other country leader.
remember, they also had their own fighter jet technology!
some more, defense tech as well.
we got?
True, true. Nice one.
The Iranians buys a lot of military hardware from Russia & China.
The indigenous fighter jet is an upgraded F-5 (want to wager where our stolen F-5 jet engine was going to?). The indigenous assault rifle is basically a bull pup version of the Chinese Norico unlicensed M-16. But Iran has a missile program, initially started by modifying Scuds from North Korea but have recently developed a 2 stage solid fuel with an approx 1900km range. It ia apparently not of Russian, Chinese, N.Korean or Pakistani design, ie. fully indigenous.
We got… ketuanan to be proud of.
we got 2 submarines that can’t sink, which is a france made model haha, i wonder if malaysian made the submarine itself, would it even be a submarine :P
One of the most common car on local street is the “PAYKAN” as taxi and for civillian use.
They like to drive with non A/C.
There’s lot of new model JV with european/korean car maker
Sapo lu??Saipa…kui,kui,kui.
ignorant malaysian. very hateful in every word they utter.I wonder who inflick this kind of hatred in each malaysian.
MALAYSIAN!! if u u wanna buy a cheap importer car.. u can too.. and as in Iran, must be paid in cash. no loan allowed. check ur local custom. but if u cant fork out 50 grand out of the winds, go hide behind the bushes and came out after you can.
what so good about IRAN? free electricity. if the leader live in a pondok up on a tree. a leader still a leader. a capitalist will get you to think that a great leader must have private plane, drive amored car, mob with bodyguard and riders. long list of lawyer ready to defend for almost everything. guess what? that’s no leader, thats more like a cheater. A leader can only be one after he can prove it. a good religious leader won’t cheat a contract job or take bribe to live in wealth. THAT’S A GREAT LEADER. apart from he being a siitte.
Good Government in ISLAM, means provide any necessary means for the rakyat with less burden, means water, electricity, house. if not free, cheap. and all that is necessity but needs. not hike the tarriff whenever they find they can’t paid for their next 5 series monthly payment.
btw, just realized. now its DRIVEN MEDIA SDN BHD. Good job paultan team! what’s next?
Iran must protect it’s wealth by imposing such restriction. I don’t see any problem there.
If your country can still operate smoothly when there’s an international sanction imposed on you, that’s already an exceptional achievement.
iran…
ekonomi di sekat….
pembalasan..
kete luar nak masuk…kena bayar tax tinggi…cash only…hehehheheheheh
hahaha…. typical Malaysian stupid basher, worse car (like chery) than our own P1 & P2, but still praise like hell one…
‘ Bring to Malaysia’… they don’t support us and u stupid basher still want to support them..
Make me wonder it those basher finish their SPM or not…
then japanese must be support our national car also
One Iranian said , buy our national car and we will give you free oil (petrol) just come and dig.
All country with their own automobile manufacturer will eventually find a way to protect their own ‘child’…. tax, tax, tax,…. even china…
But country without their own automobile manufacturer (Singapore & Thailand)… they don’t even bother, if u die, then die laaa…..
Wow!
I thought I’ve strayed into a world politics forum…. ;-)
The level of ignorance is world class too.
Well, Malaysia Boleh. Malaysians lagi boleh!
u guys are all out of topic………..masuk subject politik la, religion la, terrorism la, personal atk la dll………. Just keep the blog clean……chat about automotive la.lzzzz
Iran have one of smartest population in the world under the rule of an idiot^^
Your village chief called, they’re missing their idiot.
coming soon: nuclear powered car.
Lamee…
coming soon: nuclear powered car with heavy armor and AK-47 compartment + machine guns coming out of the sides?
This has nothing to do with Iranian car but an insight into Iranian people (as I see it. My flatmate back in London was an Iranian whose family fled when the Shah fell).
Iranians call themselves Persians, never Arabs. Calling them Arabs is a big insult. Just like the Iraqi, Syrians & Jordanians, they all have a culture & history that dates back even before Christ. The Persians pride themselves to have an ancient culture that goes back aeons, unlike the “un-cultured” wandering dessert dwellers (you know which country I’m talking about).
The Ayathollah overthrew the Shah of Iran due to many similarities that we have here in M’sia today. Corruption, misuse of power, detention without trials, persecution of opposition, mysterious deaths of opposition… And they were a rich country which exported oil. Heck, Iran was rich enough to buy the F-14 back when only the US could afford this expensive fighter jet. The Iranian people was living in luxury back in the Shah’s days. Did you also know that the Shah had a secret police called Savak that did many of the dirty jobs like detention, interrogation, spying & even execution of opposition? Sadly, the Ayathollahs have never dismantled the Savak, but renamed it to Savaka, this time serving the Ayathollahs.
Iran is now changing. The younger generation no longer remembers the Shah. The recent political development where the 2009 controversial Presidential Election, gave rise to a people movement that has never been seen since the deposed of the Shah. Among those killed in the demonstrations was a young lady, Neda Agha Soltan. She was shot by a member of the Government paramilitary (Basaji) while caught out in a demonstration. She was just an innocent bystander, caught in a traffic jam. Till today, the Government refutes the claim that Basaji was involved in the killing, instead saying it’s a conspiracy by the West (sounds familiar to what we have here?) This growing movement of opposition is a sign of the maturing of a society that does not tolerate hardline rule anymore. Also, it is my believe that although most Persians are patriotic, the younger generation now no longer wish to be isolated from the world & would like to rejoin the global village. The old men in power has for years demonised the outside world, could not understand the youth & the only way they can suppress the opposition is by force (again, sound familiar?)
However, the hardliners Ayathollah forget that if they got in by revolution, they too can be thrown out by revolution.
