KUALA LUMPUR: Two more national cars and one national motorcycle will be developed under the National Automotive Policy 2020 (NAP 2020) roadmap, says Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

He said that the government has made a conscious decision under NAP 2020 to implement the new Malaysian Vehicle Project, which will emphasise research and development and the incorporation of the latest technologies.

Dr Mahathir said that this is in order for Malaysia to be competitive in both the domestic and global markets. "New technology clusters as well as a new expert workforce would be developed consequently, especially in the field of automotive engineering," said Dr Mahathir. He added that the new Malaysian Vehicle Project is expected to contribute significantly to the nation's economic development through its support for both upstream and downstream industries.

"This will create a demand for other related materials such as high-grade steel, plastics, rubber and petrochemical products which will stimulate further growth of these sub-sectors," said Dr Mahathir at the NAP 2020 launch on Friday .

Tak habis habis lagi ke national car ni

Wtf. We are suffering from this rubbish decision. Duty for import car is way too high, while the rakyat has no choice but to buy cheap local car which is less safety feature (aka unsale/reject car from other countries) with expensive price

It is time for him to go.

The spinner n power greedy fellow

Going have flashbacks of proton and perodua.

What else does he want? We have produced Ferrari, porsche, camaro. You name it, we've done it. There's a hot wheels factory in Malaysia in case he didn't know.

The last time he created Proton he left a mess, requiring RM2B to restructure. Najib said No Way. However Najib managed to clean it up and partner w China's Geely and Proton was making a comeback with X70. Then Madey took the glory. Typical Hero Tamil/ Malayalam.

sembang kencang

Proton & perodua have about the same time evolves as hyundai & kia, they are way better car than what we have now. Its funny how we do bisnes this big. “We fail we sell we built new one”. How to succeed maa?...
