when we talk about an ordinary car, it is just a car. Actually with Proton facilities, it consider one of the best car factory in Malaysia. Unfortunately, it had become the poorest in term of brand equity. The root cause to be blamed should be the management board of Proton. For whom deal with Proton before, certainly they know how they "works". The best words to describe Proton is arrogant and ignorance. Really sorry to say....

As far I know, the Geely only need the facility of Proton (showroom, part center and service center), which they can immediately sell their car in Malaysia. As this car was fully developed in China, personally I don't think the part price offer by Malaysia parts maker can match. This response to Stead's comment, will "new" Proton give more job to local supplier? For Multico, it need a cutting edge product which not only impress Proton but also other car maker in Malaysia (as well as in overseas). This is the only way Multico can remain strong and grow steadily in automotive industry especially surrounded by majority Japanese influenced car makers.
