well, TS, just another point of view. (no offense to any).
In the past like 80s or 90s or even early 2000s, I don't see
other ethnic groups besides chinese owning a car. or if they own a
car, they would own the lower range ones. For example, when u think
of proton, which group would you think of? but recently, there is a
big change, if U check, more of the other ethnic groups beside
chinese are driving mid or even high range cars. this implies the
more and more are getting educated, and with that, they are
finanically wiser, and hence, better planning and more comfort
pursuit be it travelling or bigger house.
also, they want to reserve their bests for one-two children at
best. also, some of the ladies want to keep in shape too.
hence, it is not only one ethnic group that is not providing but
a more general problem.
