Screenshots

Here's some questions fro this man:

1) Why did he say the internet is rubbish,w ithout understanding that the worlds morst respectiable CEO's get their custome feedbackf rmo the internet.

2) Why did he start ddeveloping cars without consulting the majority? Ppl fromw ithin proton have complained that anythign thatd oesnt satisfy him, is cut out, even if the general public want them.

3) Why did he cost down the Gen 2 so much to the extend it doesnt have a glove compartment, a key hole to open the booth and very poor read headroom? He concentrated so much on sportiness and forgot about what the lay man wants.

4) Why did he embarass malaysia by calling Waja asia's answer to BMW

5) Why was he so arrogant in stating that we can sell Waja at 80 K and ppl will still buy it but not give the cars in a low price affordable to all malaysians?

6) Why did he santion the development of such an ugly car called savvy, which clearly has a horible bumb, and very low read head room.

7) why did he continue to run the copany like it belonged to him, without listening to marketting ppl? Leaving manY R&D folks to leave proton to competitors?

8) After ownign MV Augusta, within the next year, what exactly did he do to "materialise" the so called RM10000 car? No engine was tested for car usage, nothign was done in the first year, yet proton continued to bleed moneyf or MV, while loosing market sahre at home....and does he still think it was a wise choice?

More to come, please invite chips Yap to question this man, for the arrogance he has showed to the malaysian public, he should have been long gone!

Yeah, one more thing. Of the so many things that we malaysians want answer from TM, you choose to highlight the on that is most political, the AP!!!!

JEFF OOI says: AP a political issue? Look, APs are issued by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, which result in taxes exempted at the point of bonded warehouse by the Royal Customs and Excise Dept. APs are not issued by the Political Bureau of Malaysia (if there is one). It's plain governence and policy execution! The taxesthat APs usurp should go to the national coffers to benefit the tax payers. So, what bollock are your spewing here?

Thats really an political issues. I think whats more pressing from TM to understand why he did what he did and screw up Proton!

JEFF OOI says: Didn't I say "Watch out for the 'One Morning with Tengku Mahalel' series in Screenshots"? This is only the teaser, I haven't EVEN started the actual series yet. Do you eat appetiser for main course all this while? My interview with him is skewed on numbers. So hold your horse, beyond you is the cliff. Engineer your attitude, my friend.

Mahalel knows nothing about cars, all he knows is whining and whining again and again about AP.

If you good enough, you can make a car comparable or better than those AP cars with competitive price. I bet until now he still dont know how to do that.

rosman say, "Mahalel knows nothing about cars". In car business, you don't need to know about car, but the market and cost factor. Perhaps those are beyond him.

Many of this "tycoons" playing ground are similar to Malaysia football kampung team. Competitions is something beyond their imagination.

TDM was the man/brain who decided that Malaysia needed to be a car developing nation so that it could build up its enginerring capability.I always wonder why he did not go for aeroplane building,in fact there are more countries producing aeroplanes than producing cars,as far as I know,such as Canada,Indonesia,Spain,etc

Ex-CEO Tengku Mahaleel Tengku Ariff is just a professional who had a job with the car producing company,so there are many questions he could not answer,the proper way is to ask TDM to open his old files so that we can all know how he arrived at that fantastic decision which apparently many Malaysians still garee.

Look forward to the TM series. Hope you also ask him about his days at Mofaz and his transition from there.

Perhaps you should also do all our other "corporate chieftains" generated by that remote controlled machine known as Malaysia Inc. who collectively have brought us to where we are today.

Dear Mr Ooi,

Kudos for giving an individual demonised and censured by mainstream media a chance to be heard by the Average Joe on the street.

Let the People be the judge - not the media and certainly not those at Putrajaya.
