Wasn’t me who approved company for 3rd national car project, says Dr M
SEPANG: Dr Mahathir Mohamad said he did not approve for DreamEDGE Sdn Bhd to drive the country’s third national car project.
“It wasn’t me who approved it, but it is already done, so I have nothing to say,” the prime minister added after attending KLIA’s 21st anniversary celebration here today.
Also present were Transport Minister Loke Siew Fook, Malaysia Airports group CEO Raja Azmi Raja Nazuddin, Malaysia Airports chairman Zainun Ali and Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari.
Mahathir was asked to comment on MCA president Wee Ka Siong’s claim that federal ministers Lim Guan Eng and Darell Leiking had lied over the funding for the third national car project, which they said would be privately financed.
This comes after DreamEDGE confirmed that there is investment from the government in the company.
DreamEDGE CEO Khairil Adri Adnan had previously said that VentureTECH Sdn Bhd owns 10% of DreamEDGE.
But Wee said that VentureTECH is 100% owned by Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology (MIGHT) which, in turn, is owned 100% by the government.
Today, Mahathir said he suspected that because DreamEDGE is doing “a lot of things and seems to be capable”, some government departments wanted to have “a piece of the action”.
“Lots of government agencies, when they see something about to take off, think they should have a piece of the cake,” he said.
Earlier, Mahathir defended the need for a third national car, saying the automobile industry was not static and there was a need to move forward.
“Everything changes and progresses and if you don’t keep up, you will be left behind,” he said.
He also said the intention behind the introduction of the third national car was to stimulate the engineering industry.
Putrajaya had on several occasions said the government would not fund the project, which will be developed in collaboration with Daihatsu Motors in Japan, with the first model ready by 2021 and mass production by 2031.
But in case you find that too tedious, let me make a precis of the salient points, as follows:
a. Lost his seat in Kota Setar Selatan - t'was the Chinese voting for Yusof Rawa (PMIP), and Tunku's pampering of those blardy Chinese
b. Ops Lalang - t'was the IGP
c. Memali - t'was NOT me as I was in Beijing (Big Kerbau)
d. Sodomy I (1998) against Anwar Ibrahim - t'was the police [peculiar especially after Anwar failed in ouster attempt against him, wakakaka]
e. 1988 Judicial sacking of Lord president and top judges - t'was the then Agong (Sultan Iskandar of Johor)
f. MAS downfall - t'was Tajudin Ramli
g. FOREX monumental loss - t'was Finance Minister Anwar Ibrahim
h. ECRL & Chinese Malaysians political prominence - t'was Najib
i. Cancellation of Crooked Bridge - twas AAB
j. Proton Eff-ups - t'was the Malaysian population - ta'cukup - they should have eff more to let me have a population of 70 million - domestic market mah
k. Educational eff-ups - t'was racist Dong Zong, wakakaka
l. Asian Meltdown - t'was Soros, he with the hooked nose
m. Mukhriz failed to be UMNO VP - t'was Najib and I'm gonna git him
As for Car No 3, see my post titled Guan Eng, how much funding have you provided for Car No 3?
Lim Guan Eng had claimed there was no public funding, but now Mahathir has confirmed there is, as per Wee Ka Siong's assertion that the company developing Car No 3, namely, DreamEDGE is funded by MIGHT (Malaysian Industry-Government Gruop) through VentureTECH Sdn Bhd.
MIGHT is the Malaysian government and owns 100% of venturaTECH.
Otherwise how do you think Car No 3 would ever be financed by the private sector which we know is not that stupid.
His sinful KERBAU's are:
1. The most Kerbau-ish DreamEDGE is doing “a lot of things and seems to be capable”, some government departments wanted to have “a piece of the action”.
“Lots of government agencies, when they see something about to take off, think they should have a piece of the cake.”
Who the eff has been so stupid to touch another of Mahathir's crazy car catastrophe after the disastrous Proton? See post 3rd Car - Menipu Dan Membohongi Manusia 3rd Round.
2. His ... the intention behind the introduction of the third national car was to stimulate the engineering industry.
Kerbau - there ARE already two Malaysian cars, Proton and Perodua (even if Proton has been wisely sold off to Geely) - what eff-ing need is there to further 'simulate' the engineering industry?

he also has 40 horses fed on carrots |
Rather than eff Lim Guan Eng, who as usual is being led around and around by Atuk, the so-called Finance Minister must eff-ing 'fess up.
And Lim KS must sort out this Old Dictator. He has jeopardised the name of your Chye-Chye. Stop him before he uses up ALL national resources to build his so-called Car No 3.
