Long Wait for Wagen

Prime minister Pak Lah was pretty upset.

He had to wait for hours in order to meet Volkswagen chairman who had wanted to meet him. The wagen chaorman did not turn up.

The PM was extremely upset and said: "I don't think I can wait too long."

The PM was asked by reporters how long would he wait for Wagen to respond. PM declined to say how long: "I will not tell you when, you just wait."

That means he is willing to wait.

Maybe VW just appoint some adviser that know a lot of bolehland cultures :) Let the politikus make the move. These stupid politikus know nothing about business will even sell their grandmother (errr , most sold off) for feel good(big pocket) reason.

VW has gone to China. Why here? There is no U-turn policies there, the business environment is much more positive there and truly the politicians there are much much more matured!!

Winfried Vahland, CEO of VW China had just announced early this month at the production launch of an engine plant in Dailan, northeast China's liaoning Province. The new plant is a joint venture between VW and the Chinese automaker FAW, to produce turbo direct injection gasoline engines in order to introduce the newest generation engines into China. China became VW's fastest growing market last year with annual sales soaring 24.3 percent to 711,000 units. face facts, what have we to offer? It's time this government wakes up!!

Desperation is bad for negotiation.

Was it VW executing their negotiation art to the max? Or, proton is worth much less than what Pak Lah thought?

Dear rocky,

PLS PEOPLE BEFORE YOU REPLY, PLS READ TRY TO READ THE INTENTION OF THE MESSEAGE BEFORE SHOOTING THE MESSENGER


To me, this issue really questions Sheih integrity..but then again maybe we shouldnt be to suprise. After all as the saying goes, the company we keep is a reflection of who we are. Everyone knows that Sheih gives special treatment to Monsterball on his blog.In fact Sheih even calls him a "father figure".This to me partly explains why Monsterball is so brazen in his rudeness.

BUT WHAT I CANT EXCEPT AS A MALAYSIAN IS HIS ATTACKS ON the blogger known as "A VOICE" regarding voices gout sickness in the latter blog posting titled " Pain: Gout Explained"...Additionally he goes on a rampage in his attack of the blogger known as BIG DOG. Read Monsterball' attack on in BIGDOG's blog here;

Read it here in BIG DOG



Read it here in VOICE


His vilification of BIG DOG includes inter alia, saying that Big Dog should have sex with Monty's pet dog.Of course, Big Dogs religion is not spared. The rest, I think is too rude to rewrite here.

Anyway, if you read his comments on both he does speak alot on behalf of Sheih. From u get a feeling, he is brazen enough to do so partly because of Sheih special treatment of him. In fact, when somebody questions his behaviour, Monsterball in not so many ways question the person right to do by saying he( Monsterball) is 'the front liner" .

To me, if Monsterball's behaviour is unacceptable, then so is Sheih blind endorsement of it.To me, Sheih cannot be totally exculpated.

Don't think any decent and sane Malaysian should tolerate it.

Go ahead. Read for yourself.

Proton is like a once-beautiful maiden, but now aging.
Market-value falling fast, so the father is desperate to marry her off. Almost anyone with 2 hands , 2 legs and 2 eyes will do.

"Inter Alia's Epistles", you have been spamming this message about monsterball-bigdog cat fight all over the place.

Who doesn't know monsterballs' monstrous comments by now? Many times, I don't like them too.

But, I disagree with you about Sheih in this matter. Bigdog had snarled at monsterball without any reason or provocation for several weeks. Knowing monsterball, I don't believe bigdog did not expect monsterball's out-of-proportion reaction. As expected, monsterball stepped right into the trap laid out for him. Bullying/conspiracy that resulted in overreaction is not unexpected.

As for Sheih, he did not take side, did he? His judgment is highly commendable.

If bigdog and monsterball wanted to fight in the mud, let them have their days. Just a reminder for monsterball, stay away from any reference to race and religion. Avoid injuring bystanders.

When it comes to Proton, the decision making has always been very slow. It sapped employees morale plus the investors too. In the end, the products suffer the most. The value for money is degrading. And people lost the trust and won't buy them anymore.
