Mahathir's gift, a millstone around Malaysia's neck

FMT:

Pro-Proton policies a stumbling block, says minister


 

Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar says pro-Proton policies should be reviewed


KUALA LUMPUR: Policies favouring Proton was a “stumbling block” to the development of the automotive industry, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.

Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said the policies had caused some major carmakers such as BMW to shift their operations to Thailand. Another reason was the tax imposed on imported cars.

The policies should be reviewed, he said. “Proton has been given special treatment by the government.”

  1. Fortunately we had Guanee the stingy Book-keeper. After all the hooha about Boh Lam Phar....he did not approve even one sen for Toonsie's 3rd or Flying car. Menteri Kipas had to get a measly few million re-directed from another allocation.

    Thanks Guanee....we miss/need you...come back soon...ha ha ha....
