Perodua VS Proton
Once, there was a family known as Malaysia. In
1985, they were
blessed with their first born, Proton. The family
loved Proton all they can.
They gave Proton everything. They protected
Proton from the bigger boys in Kindergarden. They told
Proton, "You're young, you need protection from
them. It's okay to make mistakes, you're young.
Even if you don't learn from mistakes...it's
okay...you are young."
Proton became spoilt. He always depended on
parents and used up all his allowance on useless
things. When he had to do his chores, he paid
people to do it and the work is lousy, causing the
parents having to call repairmen to fix all the
mess that he made.
Anyway, when Proton was 10 (but he still acted
like he is 1 or 2 years old), he had a younger brother,
Perodua. At first, everyone thought this younger brother will
be like Proton. Anyway, this new baby was more
handsome and looks smarter than Proton.
Malaysia knew there is a possibilty Perodua could be
smarter than Proton. Since they love Proton so
much, they decided that Perodua can only learn a
few things. Cannot learn the same thing as Proton.
This is so that Perodua wouldn't beat Proton at
what Proton is doing.
Although Perodua was also protected by Malaysia,
he learn to be independent very fast. He made good friends with
Daihatsu, who had an elder brother Toyota. The
two of them helped Perodua in everything.
Perodua, being independent and smart, learnt a lot
and in a short while, was becoming as good as, if not better,
than Proton.
Malaysia realized that Perodua was becoming
better than his brother. Although proud of Perodua, they
still love Proton best. They paid Lotus(which is
older and well known worldwide) to be friends with
Proton.Using this advantage, Proton mentioned
Lotus everytime he wanted to tell people about
himself. On this own, he was still the same.
Moreover, Proton is always not updated. When
doing his work, he still uses the typewriter and
refuses to use the computer. Perodua, so much younger,
used the computer, with broadband for his work.
Perodua was improving so much that Toyota has assigned
him with his work, codename Avanza.
2005. Proton is 20 years old, Perodua only 10. It
was obvious that Perodua was the more successful
of the two siblings. What is worse,Proton said he
still need his parents to help him for another 10 years.
He still need protection from the big boys. In May
2005, Perodua was about the show Malaysia his best work so
far...codename Myvi. Proton, being
jealous...quickly came up with an unprofessional
remark about Perodua's work and show his work at
the same time as Perodua on purpose.
The future of Malaysia and her two kids are still unknown.
But it would be obvious that Perodua will shine,
leaving Proton crying. It would be a wonder if in 2015,
Proton will ask Malaysia for another 10 years of help and
protection...maybe this time...protection from
Perodua as well...........
