TALKS TO BUILD VOLKSWAGEN CARS IN MALAYSIA HIT SNAG, EDGE SAYS.
Negotiations to assemble Volkswagen cars in Malaysia have ground to a halt, the Edge newspaper reported citing unidentified sources.
Discussions between Germany-based Volkswagen AG and DRB- Hicom Bhd., a Malaysian auto and construction group, ran into difficulty about three weeks ago following interference from certain unnamed government-linked bodies, the newspaper reported quoting unidentified officials close to the Malaysian company.
It was not clear what the government’s intentions were or why negotiations had stopped, the paper said.

Ada bagus kalau vw dipasang local sbb harga mungkin lebih murah. Kita dpt kete yg lebih kualiti dari jerman. tapi sales tax dan eksais duti jgn terlalu tinggi (utk protect local/nasional car) dikenakan oleh gomen.Harga competitive dgn harga kete jepang.
Bob,
Aku sokong, tapi kualiti mesti bagus lah, jgn sebab ada yg nak tumpang join business konon supply part, kualiti pun out..
rasa2 kroni tak berani kacau.. kalau kacau pun rasa2 VW x benarkan kroni2 lingkupkan nama VW di Malaysia.. ITULAH.. harap2 bila bukak kilang di Malaysia dptlah lepas cukai2 yg tinggi mcm gunung berapi tu
