[QUOTE="funfer_fahrer, post: 336083, member: 2733"] From the governmnet's point of view, Proton must be protected at all costs. Period. This is no rocket science. But, in this current economic situation we need ideas as close as rocket scientists' ideas. Some ideas might look like going against the Proton Protection Act but there is no harm trying. Some of these ideas also might not be a totally permanent thing. Just for the interim period. When the economy picks up everything can go back to normal. A few things the government must realise is that: 1) Proton's market share is small worldwide. With the introduction of Perodua and Naza cars flooding the market, the market share is getting even smaller especially for domestic market. By helping only Proton the economy can hardly move. 2) The upper middle class segment is the fastest growing segment in this country although not the biggest segment. For the luxury car market, the potential of this segment must not be ignored. The market for Proton already been taken care by the lower middle class segment. Since the prices of goods can hardly go down since the last fuel hike this segment suffers the most. Their purchasing power now is very limited. The only untapped market is the upper middle class people whom I believe are more comfortable buying second-hand and recond luxury cars instead of new ones. They have been delaying their purchases simply because the luxury cars pricing strategy is only for the super rich which, their segment is the smallest at the apex and does not grow as fast as the upper middle class segment. 3) When the economy moves not only the car dealer benefits from this. Other sectors such as insurance and banking will all move. The last thing we want to hear is that our government has to bail out banks using taxpayer's money. Consider this, when an individual has a problem with a bank he or she will be blacklisted and sometimes declared as a bankrupt. When banks in trouble, they will surely have the government to bail them out using the taxpayer's money, possibly using part of the bankrupt person's tax money . Best of all, the bank will not be blacklisted. [/QUOTE]
