THE WORST NIGHTMARE

SO MANY SHOPS ARE CLOSING DOWN AT THE CURVE

SMASHING

A TRUE CONFESSION

There are more than a dozen voters at our residence, the Bustanu Pahamin and almost all (except for our parents) of us had never voted but all of us did during the GE14. In those days when we were living in London, we had the candidates coming over to our house to introduce himself as well as the policies he was championing but this never happen in Malaysia. We have never received any local politicians at our house for as long as we have been here in Sungai Penchala. If any one of the politician in our local area would have the decency to visit us, our whole family would have champion for her.. or him. We need a more pro-active politician.

Should Malaysia Liberalise Its Automotive Industry After 30 Years of Protectionism?

Should Malaysia Liberalise Its Automotive Industry After 30 Years of Protectionism?

This question is both timely and complex. For three decades, Malaysia has maintained protectionist policies to nurture its automotive sector, particularly in support of national car projects. The debate now is whether the industry is ready to stand on its own or whether strategic protection remains necessary.

Interestingly, protectionism is not unique to Malaysia. The United States, despite being home to some of the world’s largest automakers, is currently reintroducing protectionist policies to safeguard its automotive and electric vehicle industries against global competition. Similarly, China has sustained protective measures for more than 62 years, ensuring that its domestic automotive sector remains competitive and strategically important.

The key consideration, therefore, is not simply whether Malaysia should liberalise, but how and when liberalisation should take place. A nuanced approach is needed to balance global competitiveness, industrial sustainability, and national interest.
