Japanese car good or not, sale figure tell the truth.
Wow, we must learn from the Japs how to work hard. Can produce 2.5 mil units for half a year. We all produce 60,000 cars but we syiok sendiri thinking our industry so great.
Anyway, record for Proton. 12,000 workers produce 60,000 cars. In Thailand, car companies with just 6000 workers produce 300,000 cars.
Hooray for goyang kaki and relax
Bisnes so bad AF but dun need retrenchment. Champion..
Still waiting source for :
“Thailand, car companies with just 6000 workers produce 300,000 cars.”
Or you just talked kok
I have read this many times in PT site also, why don’t you google? Everything also want to be spoonfed

enough proof for you? Oh wai! Oh wai!
Keyword: 4 factories.
P1 only has 2.
Quality & productivity more important than quantity.
Even if p1 produce can 6 million cars per year, the demand is not there so why….
2 factories or 4 factories is immaterial. Total workers are 6000 producing 300,000 cars
As opposed to 12,000 workers making 60,000 cars. Oh wai
Must sack all the deadwood in Proton. Gaji buta only
Yes it does. P1 shah alam plant is much much older and therefore less automated which hampers output. Therefore P1 2 plants cant match output for 2 of honda tomyam plants. Its just a simply that they r more automated thats all.
But now with Geely bringing investment, they can robotise the lines and therefore increasing output of numbers comparable to tomyam.
put all the robots also but workers who operate the robots all tidur. So, back to square one
Robots r automated. Do u know whats the word: automation?
the robots also will be like their masters, always looking for tongkat
Lol they never use the robots if they cannot lessen the workers while rising the output.
Basher tak pakai otak
*face palm*
Honda lord still respect ASEAN pipu lives and gips gud specs. Ur toyota lord & Diehatsu minor lord & P2 ikan bilis lord can godai.

New-gen Accord will set new Honda record.
The coming Accord may garner 4-6000 units by year end.The BREAD AND BUTTER are the City,Jazz,Civic,BRV,HRV for Honda malaysia.CRVs contribute 10,000 units.
(old n new models).
The record of 100,000 units overall sales for 2017 for honda malaysia…depends on mass volume bread n butter units.
For UMW,their bread n butter units r doing poorly…vios n altis n avanza n sienta.
Well done Honda malaysia…..the power of innovative dreams
Good job Honda!
If read the chart carefully the gain is in China for Honda.
Honda Stepwgn pls
Why didn’t the Honda Freed sell well in Bolehland? Was it the exorbitant price?
It was a CBU Japan unit with a crazy price. RM 99k i believe. However, these days i can see Sienta also selling that kind of price but it is a CBU Indonesia unit. Thats why nobody buy. Not that the car sux, it has sliding doors and practical as an mpv. Price is the problem.
