National car, national joke?

This is part of my 'ranting' at usergroups jaring.pcbase, tmnet.streamyx, soc.culture.malaysia, jaring.marketplace

There's some point in expressing dis-satisfaction and nasty previously-experienced stuffs here.

Besides getting away from permanent head damage due to unable to contain the anger anymore, the writings might be of some help to others.

Public expression? Have you heard of freedom after press in Malaysia? I don't.

It's no secret of the Proton brand being the least of the appreciated car on the market, but people still have to buy them because of the protection being put on them by the ruling Executives. On level playing ground, Proton would have been dead on the 5th anniversary, the latest.

This non-level playing field is also applied everywhere in the country, be it in education, employment etc. Meritocracy? It's more of 'BN-ocracy", or to more extend, 'UMNOcracy'!

On automotive trade, I would propose for the elemination of protection for national product, equal taxation and duties scheme. At the same, I would be recommending for a review of public transportation system, for cheaper and more efficient travels for the citizen.
