PROTON Replies To The Comments By PEKEMA - More Thoughts & Opinion On It

PROTON, has decided to respond to the recent issue brought up by the people at PEKMA, short for the Bumiputera car dealers association. The group basically wants PROTON to go back to what it was before whereby PROTON need not ask their dealers to upgrade their sales centres from 1S to 3S/4S, to maintain whatever sales margins given, keep super extended credit terms like before and also not allow PROTON to ask vendors to cut their prices. Of course, even I think that this isn't the way to go. 

Opinion: Proton Sells 4,783 Units in January 2018. Good, but not Great - And the Ignorant Folks at PEKEMA Do Not Want Change....How Unwise.

PROTON has reported that it had sold or registered 4,783 units in January 2018. This is a forecasted increase in the total market share for Proton. The company basically sold 1.1 cars out of 10 cars here in Malaysia for the month of January and it is actually up from the month of December, 2017. Proton also mentioned that the Proton Saga, Persona and Exora made up 80% of their total sales. The bread and butter as well as full sized MPV was the choice of customers.
