One of my colleague was mulling over the pain he had to endure with his brand new 1 month 13 days Proton Gen -2 m/car the other day [ 13/8/2008 ]. Imagine cruising along the trunk road to Tampin when suddenly the m/car lose power, went almost dead in the middle of the road and thick white smoke billowing from your front bonnet! He narrated to me that he was utterly disgusted and shocked by what had happened. Gosh! It was only 1month and 13 days old m/car,man. It wasn't so much for the sudden stalling of the m/car but to see white smoke from the front bonnet is a trauma itself. Not only that, by the sudden stop in the middle of the road, any back moving m/vehicle would have had a field day ramming into the back section of his m/car and caused more humanly damage than anything else. 
Anyway, that wasn't the end of his horrific experience. Upon opening the bonnet, more white smoke escapes while the entire engine section was cover with gear transmission oil. Further checks revealed that the gear transmission oil hose had popped out and the hose clip was missing! How could a thing like that occur? The joke part is some great joker in the authorised workshop informed my colleague that probably 1 in 10 cars would have such a problem. Hey! This is not only moronic but statistically, it would come to 10%. So, if the production line produces 100,000 cars a month then 10,000 cars would have this problem! Not a very smart workshop Supervisor actually! It is not only damaging but dangerous indeed! It only goes to show that carelessness and the irresponsible people who had assembled the m/car in the first place. Mind you, we also don't need the smartass workshop supervisors too! I don't blame the salesman or even the distributors for this but I would put the blame on the manufacturing , assembly line and QC line! Hey, wake up, man! People can die on the road because of errors like this happening. There is an urgent need to buck up and to erase the "tidak apa" attitude here! Wait till it happens to your sister or brother or your family members or friends and then, tell me, if "1 out of 10 cars is like that" is okay with you! This is crap,man!
Buck up, man! At least, I am thankful that my colleague is okay. Can you imagine how his family would have felt if he had been involved in an accident because of this shortcoming?
Please, let not any of your family members or friends be part of the road accident statistics of our country today. Buck up car producers! Buck up QC's !~
