PUTRAJAYA, Sept 15 — The Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology, MIGHT has the potential to highlight the importance of having a third national car that will help spur development and build the nation.
According to Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad, MIGHT can play a big part in explaining to the people on the proposal as well to support other Malaysian industries on creating a well-balanced economy.
‘’We have been given a briefing and I think MIGHT can play a big role, to explain to people and to support industries as industries can grow only when people accept it,’’ he during an exclusive interview with The Third Age Media Association and Bernama News Channel (BNC) recently at the Perdana Leadership Foundation here.
He also explained that being consumers, people will find it hard to understand the need to encourage the bloom of local industries that is essential to create new job opportunities and also to increase export capabilities to other countries as they are more focused on buying products, than creating.
With that, he also said, the government has to think about the development of the country and this includes the capacity to produce things including the third national car project to earn more in-flow of money.
‘’The government feels the need to acquire engineering capability which means that we have to produce and manufacture for ourselves so that goods can be sold to other countries, where there can be an in-flow of money.
“Out flow money is very bad for the country, that’s the government way of thinking” he added.
He also urged Malaysians to look at countries like Japan, South Korea and China, which are very well known for engineering capabilities and are keener to produce things and export them, which allows them to grow well economically.
On June 11, Tun Dr Mahathir revealed at the 24th Nikkei Conference on the Future of Asia in Japan that the government plans to work on a new national car, the third after Proton and Perodua.
Acknowledging that some Malaysians did not respond positively to his suggestion, Dr Mahathir had said before that his goal had always been to increase the engineering capacity of the country and turn Malaysia into a country of producers instead of consumers.
Established in 1993, MIGHT, which is under the purview of the Prime Minister’s Department, plays a role in consensus building and coordination for Industry-Government partnership in high technology. — Bernama

And just to let Mahathir realise, the quality of engineers produce from public universities are rubbish! No one wants to hire engineers even from UM!

Transfer of Technology example from Japan for engineers' exposure. Is it possible? The making of cars and engines is the main revenue earner for Japan. Are they so stupid to share the cake with you.

Mahathir masih berfikir cara tahun 90-an utk majukan malaysia.lebih baik cepat letak jawatan supaya tidak menyusahkan rakyat.

Sad that Malaysia lead by outdated and irreleavant PM! Fuel based cars will only last a decade or so before electric car becomes mainstream! And here we have a dummy who wants to jumpstart 3rd national car!
2018-09-16 19:09
Do you know Geely is poise to be world biggest car seller! Geely already outpace Toyota and Honda! We have bright chance of overtake Thailand in producing electric car through Proton Geely! And here we have a dummy who will going to ruin that chance!
2018-09-16 19:11
Geely through Proton determine to outsell establish brand in Malaysia! So watch out Proton in coming years! I heard Proton X70 is the cheapest SUV in the market! Let's see if this will crunch local competitors!

Putting aside 1mdb, to be frank Najib's idea on digital economy is much better than Dr M's potong 3.0. if not due to 1mDB, many ideas of najib are more future oriented. this is bipartisan point of view

Answer : Most of Najib ideas came from his advisers! Unfortunately, there's Jho Low behind every implementation! Take ECRL for example, Jho Low already pocket in billions even before the project started!

Regarding ECRL, this project's cancellation personally support Dr M when many dont agree. many china projects cancelled to save billions of cost, i've to strongly agree with Dr M to improve our nation's fiscal deficit. i know many dont agree on these cancellation
2018-09-16 19:52
Mr Chinaman, I don't agree with you. Do you know that the cancellation of ECRL bears a penalty of about half the construction cost (according to certain source) which is about 20b. Do you know that the good economics effects spurred from the constructed ECRL. Do you know that in country like Africa, China has written off the loan. All this depends on how we handle the case.
2018-09-17 09:55
RUBBISH & FLAWS THINKING LOH.....!!
ECRL IS A SUNK COST....BETTER CUT OFF THE DEAD DUCK....AVOID POURING GOOD MONIES FOR POOR WHITE ELEPHANT LOH....!!
EVEN IF U HAVE THE VERY EXPENSIVE ECRL COMPLETED IN PLACE....U STILL NEED TO RUN IT ON SUSTAINABLY BASIS LOH...!!
THE PROBLEM....U WILL STILL MAKE VERY BIG LOSSES RUNNING IT LOH...!!
SO BETTER STOP BCOS WE CANNOT AFFORD IT B4 TOO LATE LOH....!!

yes lar...waste money make minibus on a highway....later got bukako case ma cham!

1. Penalty of about half of the construction cost and must be paid in 3 months' times. Paying for nothing. Is that what you called saving cost.
2. How do know it is running at big losses. Some expert's views are in favour of ECRL (from Japan).

Mahathir, no one stopping you! As long as you use your own money and don't touch rakyat money! And if fail, no more bailout from rakyat!
