car scrapping policy approved

Car scrapping policy is approved reported by Edge. Luckily it isnt mandatory. It depends on the car owners. The scrapping car value is upto $5,000/- but if your car is less than the estimated scrapped value you will get that amount. It is for cars over 15 years. You can't get it in cash though. You have to use it to buy proton cars! So the government is discriminating on the car owners helping the national car company. P1 is still struggling with its poor performance. And P1 negotiating for a partner is still dragging its feet. Just like what P1 is doing for its new car teaser shots. In the end when the product is finally shown, the people will not buy it. Though it reported 200 cars booking, it is still slow in garnering sales. The BN government is pampering towards the car dealers and manufacturers. The people that count the most is left behind again. I just hope the policy stays as voluntary and there is no subtle way to erode that voluntariness in one's car ownership.
