Harga Proton patut turun, kereta di Korea & China lebih murah

Cadangan Pengerusi PROTON, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad untuk menaikkan harga kereta proton menerima pelbagai kritikan di laman sosial.

Tinjauan Selangor Kini di laman sosial Facebook dan Twitter mendapati rata-rata rakyat tidak bersetuju dengan cadangan itu.



Mereka mendakwa harga kereta proton yang sedia ada juga sudah tidak selari dengan kualiti kenderaan jenama tempatan terbabit.

Ada juga mendakwa harga kereta di Korea dan China lebih murah berbanding di Malaysia.

Bagi Sudin, harga kereta proton yang sedia ada ketika ini sudah mahal.

Namun, katanya, kualiti tetap sama dan sepatutnya dijual dengan harga murah bersesuaian dengan kualiti.

“Sekarang proton sedia ada pun mahal. Kualiti tetap macam itu.
“Sepatutnya kualiti dijaga dengan harga berpatutan untuk dalam negara. Jika dibandingkan jenama Hyundai elantra dan Proton Preve harga tidak jauh beza,” katanya.

Selain itu, Ab Rahim Abdan berkata harga kereta jenama itu sepatutnya diturunkan untuk rakyat Malaysia.

Manakala, katanya, harga kereta itu diluar negara dinaikkan.

“Setuju harga dinaikkan jika untuk pasaran luar tetapi patut diturunkan harga untuk rakyat Malaysia,” katanya.

Bagi, Liah Abdullah pula, Proton perlu memastikan kualiti enjin dipertingkatkan dan menyediakan mekanik terlatih di pusat servis kenderaan itu.

“Sebelum harga dinaikkan, fikir juga kualiti kereta contoh enjin. Perlu juga sediakan mekanik di pusat servis terlatih dan profesional serta amanah,” katanya.

Nusantara Raya pula berpendapat di Korea harga kereta lebih murah untuk penduduk negara itu namun dijual mahal bagi pasaran luar.

“Perkara itu sebaliknya, Malaysia untuk penduduk jual mahal tetapi murah untuk pasaran luar. Itu da jadi terbalik. Jika mutu kereta Proton cap ayam nak jual mahal itu tidak masuk akal,” katanya.

Dalam sidang media di Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra (PWTC), Mahathir mencadangkan harga kereta itu dinaikkan untuk bersaing di pasaran dunia.

Katanya, Proton mahu lagi dilabel sebagai kereta murah oleh demikian Proton mahu keluarkan kereta bertaraf dunia tetapi perlu ditingkatkan harga.



Proton to change strategy from being maker of cheap cars to become world-class carmaker – Mahathir

Proton’s immediate plan will be to change its strategy from being a maker of cheap cars to become a world-standard carmaker, newly-appointed chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has said, according to a Bernamareport.

The former PM said Proton has always been labelled as a maker of cheap or poor-quality cars. “Now Proton wants to produce cars which are of world standard, but you have to pay a higher price. You can’t have a good car and pay a bad car price,” he told reporters.

He said that when the Proton Preve and Suprima S were introduced, people claimed they were too highly-priced for a Proton. “The next car of the same quality is RM120,000. You (consumers) want to have cheap cars, OK, Proton can produce cheap cars.

“Proton has to make a living. If consumers want cheap cars Proton will make cheap cars, they run three miles and break down.”

Responding to a question if Proton has approached the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and Petronas for any funds, Mahathir said it had never asked for funding.

Asked if he himself as Proton chairman would approach either for funding, Mahathir replied: “No way, because Proton is a private company now and it is able to make progress in research and development.”

Mahathir also said the government was now encouraging importation of cars rather than encouraging local industries. “When you import cars, money flows out and you don’t get any technology from them,” he said.

Asked if Proton needs government help, he said former South Korean President Park Chung Hee, during his tenure, called up 12 individuals and told them they must go into industry, with him providing the loans and funds.

These companies, like Hyundai, LG and Daewoo, were private companies and their government fully helped them, and because of that today they do not need government help anymore, he added.
