Overview
A story about the two (2) Sons of Malaysia, Elder Son – Proton and Younger Son – Perdua. This post is targeted at Malaysian readers, hence non-Malaysians readers might would like to skip this post unless they are interested in Malaysia’s local car industry.

Disclaimer
I am not the author of the following story, I received this via an email forward quite a long time ago. Spend quite some time digging this up as I can’t remember the title, the story is about two car manufactoring firms in Malaysia so I guess that only Malaysians can truly understand what it is talking about.

Proton vs Perodua
Once, there was a family known as Malaysia. In 1985, they were blessed with their first born, Proton. The family loved Proton all they can.

They gave Proton everything. They protected Proton from the bigger boys in Kindergarden. They told Proton, “You’re young, you need protection from them. It’s okay to make mistakes, you’re young. Even if you don’t learn from mistakes…it’s okay…you are young.”

Proton became spoilt. He always depended on parents and used up all his allowance on useless things. When he had to do his chores, he paid people to do it and the work is lousy, causing the parents having to call repairmen to fix all the mess that he made.

Anyway, when Proton was 10 (but he still acted like he is 1 or 2 years old), he had a younger brother, Perodua. At first, everyone thought.

This younger brother will be like Proton. Anyway, this new baby was more handsome and looks smarter than Proton. Malaysia knew there is a possibility Perodua could be smarter than proton. Since they love Proton so much, they decided that Perodua can only learn a few things. Cannot learn the same thing as Proton. This is so that Perodua wouldn’t Beat Proton at what Proton is doing.

Although Perodua was also protected by Malaysia, he learn to be independent very fast. He made good friends with Daihatsu, who had An elder brother Toyota. The two of them helped Perodua in everything. Perodua, being independent and smart, learned a lot and in a short while, was becoming as good as, if not better, than Proton.

Malaysia realized that Perodua was becoming better than his brother.Although proud of Perodua, they still love Proton best. They paid Lotus which is older and well known worldwide) to be friends with Proton.

Using this advantage, Proton mentioned Lotus every time he wanted to Tell people about himself. On this own, he was still the same.

Moreover, Proton is always not updated. When doing his work, he Still uses the typewriter and refuses to use the computer. Perodua, so much younger, used the computer, with broadband for his work. Perodua was improving so much that Toyota has assigned him with his work, codename Avanza.

2005. Proton is 20 years old, Perodua only 10. It was obvious that Perodua was the more successful of the two siblings. What is worse,Proton said he still need his parents to help him for another 10 years.

He still need to protection from the big boys. In May 2005, Perodua was about the show Malaysia his best work so far…codename Myvi. Proton, being jealous…quickly came up with an unprofessional remark about Perodua’s work and show his work at the same time as Perodua on purpose.

The future of Malaysia and her two kids are still unknown. But it would be obvious that Perodua will shine, leaving Proton crying. It would be wonder if in 2015, Proton will ask Malaysia for another 10 years of Help and protection…maybe this time…protection from Perodua as well

……….THE END

abih camana.. duti takdak, income pun takdak..

kena turunkan skit, bagi rakyat keselesaan skit... kete kuar kilang baru 30k, lepas duty sana sini jual sampai 50k...

proton rugi bab banyak screw up di masa2 zaman dulu esp time mahaleel.

Syed Zainal ni nampak decent man, practical & rasional. Dia gunakan pengalamannya dgn perodua utk naikkan proton.

Resources-wise, proton way ahead of perodua. Proton mampu design keta (walaupun ada assistance) sedangkan perodua basically tahu cut n paste dari toyota/daihatsu. Namun manufacturing standard perodua memang diakui lebih tinggi dari proton sebab japs-trained.

Even engineer mitsu kagum dgn kebolehan engineer proton dalam hal2 tuning handling & ride.

Bila kita nak dapat lancer waja, proton tak rugi sangat sebab exora & persona akan direbadge sebagai mitsu di market lain... kalo tak salah aku di amerika latin.

Future wise, proton lebih cerah daripada perodua ... syaratnya jangan ada screw up lagi.
