Proton Advertisement

I was really mad when I saw this Proton Advertisement on the Star newspaper yesterday.



Isn't Proton a government company? And isn't the government also responsible for the public transportation infrastructure of our country? So now because they do a lousy job with the public transport system we have to get a car from them?? And mind you, it's NOT going to be RM288 per month. Remember that you're also paying the government money for petrol & road tax.

So now we are encouraged to buy car, resulting in more cars on the road. Then you'll have traffic jam, then you'll have to make the road bigger, wider. Then have to build more roads. Building roads need money, so have to put tolls and sell more cars. And the circle goes on.

Listen to me. Sell Proton. LISTEN!! Take all the resources from there & make them taskforce to improve the public transport system. Reduces pollution, reduces road accidents (death toll). We also won't have to worry about competing with import cars (besides, those cars are much better anyway. More safety features, more environment-friendly). Then we can export more petroleum to generate more money. Without traffic jams & travelling heartaches, Malaysians will be under less stress. Workers will be more energized & motivated upon arriving the office. Bloggers won't use office hours to complain about how the bus came late. Greater effectiveness, more creativity, increased productivity.

"but our workers only know how to build proton cars...."

"then make the trains like LOOOOOOOONG proton cars loh... Use your brain, use your brain."

Proton has every right to advertise to boost sales. Proton is not wholly owned government company, even if it is, they shall not interfere its business operations. All your other points just proved that we live in much more difficult times, and will be even tougher in the years ahead.

Yes, that advert is a ridiculous and leaves an awful taste.
