Devils Advocate II

Yet again, fundamental structural and safety flaws have claimed the lives of these unfortunate individuals. In both scenarios, an opportunity at life could have been afforded to these people if Proton and Perodua(will be referred to as just Proton) were to have installed airbags. It should have been made a compulsory safety feature in all cars if indeed Proton was serious about the safety of its car buyers. Unfortunately, profit is at the top of its agenda and thus compromising safety.
The sturdiness of the metal frame of Proton remains suspect. Its Archilles heel appears in the most important of areas ie the passenger compartment. Its vulnerability to collapse is evident. Metal reinforcements should be put in place and testing of its safety should never be compromised.
Look into the safety of Proton if the Government would like to lower the death statistic on the road. Certainly, a wolf in sheep's clothing.
