While the second child (perodua) were given a free hand to decide what he wants to be, to marry a foreigner (partnership with Toyota) or just makan gaji (rebadge and sub-assembly of cars instead of making own engines, design car from scratch).<BR/><BR/>Too bad the last 3 years of Tengku Mahaleel in Proton (especially after Tun M's resignation) he was more busy educating the people (including ministers and policymakers) than running the business. Too shameful that even most ministers can relate the need for the existence of proton to the development of nation. Once you don't understand this, how could you expect the people like you and I to understand? And don't expect the ministers to carry the Jalur Gemilang flying :-(<BR/><BR/>It's like Hikayat 1001 Malam kalau nak bercerita about proton. but, some guys prefer spending their nights playing cards or berjudi than talking/discussing about such issues. who's to blame? ;-)<BR/><BR/>manliness through wisdomDeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374088669771251964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-490536084662788857.post-9707070571107969522007-04-10T08:26:00.000-07:002007-04-10T08:26:00.000-07:00yea..you're right....everything is back to the att...yea..you're right....everything is back to the attitudeKipas Repair JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17521948257526887706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-490536084662788857.post-46726444099931756222007-04-06T08:24:00.000-07:002007-04-06T08:24:00.000-07:00If only Proton could follow the foot steps of Volv...If only Proton could follow the foot steps of Volvo.<BR/>Anyway, it shows the people attitude that brings the most out of a productivity of a company.shahrimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933012802894268760noreply@blogger.com
