Car-scrapping policy approved

For the full text and source that i got from click here.

The government has approved a proposal for the voluntary scrapping of cars 15 years and older to boost the domestic automotive market, particularly Proton, industry sources said.

It is understood that Proton Holdings Bhd has been entrusted with the task of coming up with the details of the policy.

It has been decided that those who voluntarily scrap their cars will be offered a subsidy to buy a new Proton car.

Why Proton as a car maker, and who will receive the direct benefit be given the task to come up with the detaled policy? & of course the policy that would be out(if it is not out yet), would be in favor of Proton and not other car maker like Perodua or Naza. Isn't Policies to be made by the goverment? & why when u voluntarily scrap your car, u are only given 1 car maker to choose from? Isn't Perodua our countries second Car Maker? Why can't they give those people more choice of cars to choose from? Isn't this Policy favor to Proton ONLY...

One dealer explained that Proton was thus far the only car that actually fitted the bill because of its high local content.

"If other marques want to be considered for the scrapping policy then they could do so by increasing their local content as well," he said.

Proton has high car sales in malaysia because even Proton cars are not consider cheap as compared to the price that other country are selling their own car to its domestic market, what more other car foreign car makers that are having their car tax like hell... In fact, car sales of Honda & Toyota is considered alot... Lets not go into the Volvo, Merc, Bmw, Audi and those cars yet... just talking at the same level(same category of cars), if the other Asian made cars are sold at almost the same price as our national car(that is the national car is not given too much protection), i think its sale is sure to sub pass the sale of Malaysian made cars...
