Patriotism or just another political gimmick?

The new menteri besar of Perak is certainly too eager to show off his patriotism. Just about two months after the previous state government of Perak under Pakatan Rakyat purchased 14 units of Toyota Camry as the official cars for members of state exco, Dr Zambry decided to revert back to Proton Perdana as the official cars and thus, the Toyotas are out for sale.

The previous administration quoted high maintenance costs of Proton Perdana as the reason they decided to use non-national cars instead but for the new state government, they think that national pride is above all other practical or cost considerations and thus, tax payers have to live with their money being wasted again for another political gimmick.
