      Honda Sales is dropping for sure. Now, Honda Malaysia Sales has taken over by Proton Malaysia. Because most people are more awareness of their full safety equipment just like Mazda and Toyota. Instead of buying powerful car without advanced safety features like Honda and BMW. Even Honda Service and Quality in Malaysia is not progressing as well

        We all have to remember that Proton success is actually Geely’s success in managing and reviving a Game Over company as well as donating their Game-Changing Boyue to Proton. So don’t be surprised that Proton can achieve such sales in 2019

          @Candice Absolutely correct bro Mario! Thanks to Geely China’s management, Proton is now improving by giving us their Chinese rebadge Game Changer and giving us safety features accross the range. This is why Proton is able to Game Honda Over slowly

            On my work visit to Zhejiang, where geely based. Many assembly lines but no human in sight, except for robotic arms that precisely do what it is programmed for.

            Proton can benefit from geely, bolstered by many Uitm grads in Intelligent System Engineering and Automotive. Malaysia must refocus our traditional strength on science, technology, robotics, AI, automation

        In the end of every month and every year, we will always see Game-Changing Perodua placed in the no.1 spot and Proton below it. This is the prove that rakyat trust in Perodua quality more than Proton since Proton is famous for it’s quality issues. So it’s the time for Proton to wake up and fix their quality issues to become a Game-Changing carmaker

        As Proton cars are faster than Perodua cars, it’s only natural that Malaysians go for the safer Peroduas. Even Volvo is copying Peroduas ‘no acceleration / no top speed’ technology now!

          VOLVO on the other side is still Safe , Sound and solid as it should be..lookin at the Perodua

      We all have to thank China, Geely and Li Chunrong for saving Game Over Proton. For 30 years, Proton could not give us Game Changers that we want and made Proton slowly going bankrupt but thanks to China’s Game-Changing management, Proton is back on track again

We only wish you wouldn’t throw us your old and outdated models to do the rebadging. Malu tau, when customers asking why Daihatsu have newer cars and we still rebadging old models.

    Someone was so proud to shout his company was selling 4X more than his competitor which he keep talking crap and fake news on a daily basis, but now his company has fallen until it is doing just 2X more. Soon it will be lagging behind.

    This is what happens when he focused more on negative marketing which instead destroyed their image to potential buyers and drove them to his competitor cars.

    If I were him I would be so ashamed as the more I talk bad about the competitor, the more they sold! They didn’t pay me and yet my negative marketing sales help boost their number and not my own.

    If I were his boss reading what he did here, I would have fired him like yesterday ady. I hired him to help me up my sales but his stupid plan killed my sales and boosted my competitor car sales.
