The Madani/ESG hour of reckoning has arrived on four wheels.

IN a nutshell what are the core objectives of Malaysia Madani in the Environmental, Social and Governance aspect? 

MY guess would be to create a Malaysian society that receives a fair shake, as well as to cut off excess profits from companies that do not value add.

MEET SEAGULL, the Chinese made environmentaly friendly EV car from BYD,  priced under RM55,000 which is giving the real Elon Musk, and not the one from Thailand, a mighty headache, as well as a loss in sales and market share.  

READ :  The bargain-bin Seagull comes from BYD, a Chinese carmaker that's swiftly taking over the country's competitive EV market and making lots of trouble for Tesla and Elon Musk.

WILL Malaysian consumers be allowed to enjoy this car at the price everyone else gets to enjoy it, or will the hidden hands of the Approved Permit scrooge price it beyond the affordability level of the Malaysia Madani consumer.

THE push to have the AP business for the automotive sector reigned in, has the support of the DAP. READ : Do away with APs for all imports, says DAP MP.

BUT that was when they had no power, but now that the DAP is part of the Government, how they feel about abolishing APs is good as anybody's guess.
