Proton bomb

摘要

If only there were more car dealers like Toh Choon Lye. Wander into his showroom in Kuala Lumpur and you can kick the tyres of all the Proton saloons you want, without a pushy salesman dogging your every step. Prices are good and the supply of cars is plentiful. All is well-except for Mr Toh. A year ago he was selling a hundred cars a week. Now he can go a month without a single deal. His salesmen's lack of attentiveness is not some shrewd new selling technique: it's just that they long since gave up hope of finding a paying customer.
