Car troubles
We will soon have a national car, after almost 25 years as
merely a car assembler. I am glad to know I will not have to pay
three times the original value for the domestically assembled
cars.
I don't understand why the Japanese are complaining about the
national car policy after being given 25 years to a produce an
Indonesian car. If they were really honest in doing business with
us they should have produced national cars long ago, but the fact
is they are reluctant to transfer the technology.
When India and Malaysia produced their national cars, the
Japanese were not annoyed because the cars are really Japanese,
not Korean.
A car is no longer a luxury, but a real need. Indonesians are
forced to pay high prices for the cars they need to get to work.
I hope that the national cars are of good quality. I don't want a
cheap car of low quality.
