Guys from China and Germany always bring profit for the company in Malaysia.
Correcto. And guys from Japan only bring profits back to Japan.
I hope we don’t hear silly comments like MBM is same group as Proton since Geely owns 10% of MB AG Germany.
Comments such as why buy Mercedes when you can buy a Proton is absurd.
Hello, if everyone thought like this, nobody will pay a premium and buy Mercedes and BMW lah
Mercedes prices in Malaysia going up RM5k every year. Very greedy company.
We need more Germans to come into Malaysia to show us how to work hard and not goyang kaki
