    Tan chong produced sub-standard parts… Now Nissan lost confidence on them… Malaysia customers also lost confidence to Nissan cars due to tan chong… That’s why new almera not selling well, can’t compete other b-segment jap marque, got worse when x50 enter the playing field… when will tan chong learn???
