Proton is cheaper in UAE than in Malaysia?

I read somewhere that Proton are selling their cars cheaper in the UAE ( maybe in other countries also), compared to Malaysia. It is claimed that the prices are set that low for market penetration. Anyone here knows about this?

Market penetration pricing. Seems like Proton cars are selling at a much higher profit margin to Malaysians than the other countries (not proven of it). And here I thought that national cars should be sold cheaper in their own country?

No matter how ridiculous it seems, Malaysians will still be buying the not so cheap(same quality?) Protons. or maybe PERODUA!!

Milk produced in Malaysia is just wasted away?

Recently, I heard that about RM20+ of milk which is produced in Malaysia was just poured away. It seems that the manufacturers who need milk as their material prefer imported milk due to a cheaper pricing. Hence, the milk was left to turn sour and just poured away. What a waste..

Why can't the price be lowered down to match with the competition? And minimise the loss as well. It is said that the government plans to set a quota that the manufacturers must buy local milk before buying those imported ones. Another protective mechanism. This is perhaps why Malaysia cannot compete with the other countries. Just let the business owners make losses. Definitely, they will think of ways to make profit, thus increasing the competition and improving Malaysia.

It is the same case as Proton? Why can't Proton manufacture a supercar, when they have a subsidiary which does it and is entering F1 in 2010. Till date, they only show us "Lotus handling". Something like that...

Mercedes E- Class W212


Yes, this is the new Mercedes Benz E Class W212. This is the colour which is used in advertisements. I guess this is the best colour afterall. The front lights have been changed to rectangle-ish from oval shape, making it more ferocious? The oval shaped lamps have been used for 2 generations already. However, the concept of "1 big 1 small" front light is still preserved. The fog light, which is like an "L" is quite new to me. Besides, the signal light at the side mirrors are like forks, instead of a rectangle in the older version. From here, the rear looks a bit like the S-class.

Price of an Mercedes Benz E300: RM450k++

Ampang Look out Point

Sorry for the late post. Went to Ampang Look Out Point on 9/10 to celebrate YeeHao, WenJing and ChengHong's birthdays. 3 birthdays, celebrate in one go XD. Had dinner in Gasoline.


 KarHoe's car while we gathered at the Shell petrol kiosk near Ampang. It seemed like the order of the " car following arrangement" is messed up. Time to rearrange which car following which car...




The view of KL... City of light?


Our tables.. Many tables and chairs to accommodate many people



Tsk, additional RM2 without ice...



Group Photo!!

Ordered mushroom chicken chop. Something like that. It tasted just acceptable. However, there is a breach in health and safety regulations? I saw a chef preparing the salad, taking the vege, without gloves on, just bare hands?



~Sorry for the super-lateness~

Exam ended... Semester ended....

F7 F8 F9.. Those are the subject code of the subjects that I sat for. Financial Reporting, Audit & Assurance and Finance Management. And today, it is the day the semester really ended. Thanks to all my lecturers no matter what are the results.

F8 was the first day, then F9 and F7. F8 was quite do-able, despite many surprises. F9, one of my favourite paper wasn't so. Did not understand and screwed my favourite paper badly? Maybe. And lastly, F7, do-able as well, although there are some elements of surprise. But these surprise weren't welcomed!!!

Anyway, it is time to enjoy and suffer when 22th February 2010 comes....

~Happy Holidays to all!!!~
