ADA APA DENGAN POWER WINDOW, PROTON?



John Fernandez(pic) (no relations to the blogger) lawyer in Johor Bahru is a very upset man. He drives a Proton Waja 1.6. Well, he is not upset that he drives a Proton though I am sure he wishes that he drives another make particularly after the problem he has been having with his Proton.

Well you see there is a problem with the car’s power windows. According to John, in the last five years he had to change the power window parts three times. Now, once again the power window is acting wonky again. John says that there is a “lulus” sticker by Proton on the window. Obviously the swish mark on the sticker indicates that the car had passed all stringent test before the chaps at Proton put it up for sale. John wants to know the geezer who had “lulussed” his car.

What could be causing the problem? John is not sure whether the problem is caused by wear and tear. But that can’t be because the only times John winds down the car window is at the toll booth and at the McDonald drive in. The only other occasion when John winds down the car window is when the traffic police do an “operasi”. John wind down his car window and show his driving licence. Surely all these cannot amount to wear and tear. Or perhaps the problem is because of the lack of wear and tear? Not winding down the windows a couple of times everyday. Perhaps? May be next time when John is driving he should fiddle with the button and keep winding down and winding up the power window.

Proton must remember the days of Malaysians rushing to buy Proton is over and the consumer now is spoilt for choice. If one can get a better car and that car is definitely ‘lulussed’ though it may cost a little bit more, Proton can be certain that Malaysians will give Proton a miss. So the message to Proton is… buck up!.

In the mean time if the CEO of Proton of any other top honchos of Proton read this piece on my blog, please could you be kind enough and at Proton’s own cost repair and ensure that the power window of John’s car will thereafter functions properly.

(Picture- a peeved John Fernandez giving a thumbs down)

P.S the blogger drives a Korean “Jaguar” and is highly impressed and extremely satisfied with the car. He is prepared to give a personal testimony or appear in the company car advertisement in return for a fully paid free trip to Jaeju Island.
