NO NEW PERDANA? NEVER MIND, JUST REBADGE OBSOLETE ACCORDS AND SELL THEM TO THE GOVERNMENT. The Pink Panther writes: "You might ask why the Government isn’t eliminating the middleman (PROTON) by going straight to the manufacturer (HONDA) and bargaining for bulk rates on the latest Accord models. The answer lies in the ownership structure of PROTON and Honda. Since both Honda and PROTON are controlled by DRB-HICOM, it is understandable that it has been emphatically stressed that Honda will not supply the new 2013 Accord model direct to the Government as all Honda sales to the Government will be channeled through PROTON. "In substance, doesn’t it look as though PROTON is essentially monopolising the market, dictating prices and manipulating market behaviour? "Is this aligned with best practices promoting a competitive and open marketplace which benefits consumers and end-users? "Are consumers’ rights being infringed upon making this a matter for regulators enforcing the Competition Act 2010?"
