Good and Bad News Are Friends

Manchester United will be coming to Malaysia . By the word of our Prime Minister of Malaysia , any cooperation with FIFA to ensure the success of the Asian Cup elsewhere at the same time is all doomed .

And there are reports coming up that if indeed Man Utd gets to play in Bukit Jalil , it will spark a series of legal proceedings .

Yes . That's right . Not one but a series . I have "nothing" against Man Utd . I have "nothing" against our PM . But I hope Malaysia , the organizers and Man Utd can work something out as we are having the Asian Cup going on . It is like the European Cup . Though Asian soccer is not as progressive as Europe or South America , but we hope that enough respect is paid to other residents of the Earth as well .

So please . It is not difficult to fix another date . It is not difficult to renegotiate just like what Malaysia and Singapore is doing ( I HOPE ! )

All right . Perak's Raja Muda has already married a prominent figure's daughter . Well , to me I would think that Raja Puan Besar is prominent too . As I'm a Perakian , I would like to congratulation the royal family of Perak and say the words , Daulat Tuanku .

Ok . TDM really must cut down on public activities . Tun can do the same thing that he is doing now i.e. passing the message of leadership to the people , in many ways . You can either do it in many activities or choose a few but make it extremely high quality . Our country still needs the knowledge and expertise of Tun , well at least me and perhaps a few million other Malaysians .
But anyway , glad to hear that you are well .

Now . Proton wants money from the government for some dealerships are shutting down !? Hello !!! What on Earth are you guys doing with Proton !?

I remember I once read months ago that Proton was suppose to choose a partner at a certain date . That date passed many days many moons ago !!!! And now you are telling me dealers are shutting down ??

I am seriously beginning to buy the story of Malaysia-today.net which once gave a forecast or perhaps an insider tip of what is going to happen to Proton . RPK said that the "leaders" of Proton are conspiring to devalue the Proton because they have a massive asset and land banks or something like that which will be dirt cheap for the "leaders" or whoever that walks in the corridors of power . So yes . Is RPK right !?

There are not many countries that produce their own car . Our country undeniably subsidizes the automobile industry heavily . So did the British , the Americans , the Koreans , the Japanese in the early days . So are they in the many other sectors !!!

Let me remind you Proton is not 100 years old , not 80 years old etc . Proton is less than 30 . Ok !? We have to build a country of 22 million that consists of multi racial communities . We need a balance formula and a leadership who can satisfy all sides . We needed to build a country . And we had Proton to progress hand in hand with our country . Malaysia is just 50 this year . We are no way the same as Ford or GM in the States !

So firstly , dont argue with me Proton should wind up . This is directed to those readers who have this in mind . And if the management of Proton tells me this , I hope Dr Mahathir or somebody can lodge a legal suit against the management of Proton .

Secondly , this is to the management of Proton and those that make the decisions of the so called strategic partnership . Orders were given in the Mahathir administration . Orders were given by Pak Lah . Guarantees were given by Rafidah . So dont give us a 50th Merdeka celebration gift with Proton's logo wrapped up to be incinerated . Dont give us this !

I don't want to celebrate any Merdeka with that gift . Don't ever give me that . If you cant manage , let Tengku Mahaleel manage . Or at least change the management !!!

All right then . Nothing else for now . Guess we all have to look back and ponder the many smiles we had in the past . Low prices , low costs , comfortable pay , happy lifestyles , Proton shipping out models after models , leaders were all decent and good instead of being sexist and rowdy .

Good old days . Whenever we say good old days , does it mean that we are heading towards the worse end ? Perhaps . No wonder we always say we look forward to a better future .

Seriously, I'm not a supporter of the whole winding down Proton thingy, but the excuse that Proton is wat it is because of its age is just not acceptable...

I don mind if anyone try to justify its existence with national pride, employment opportunities, or even mean to achieve sharing of wealth quota, but please no more Proton still in infant age
