      In USD it's 33K $ , we are selling for RM 500K here. Do the math, the difference is 100K $

      Eric Tan Our COE alone (Certificate of entitlement) could buy up to 5 if not more of your "cheapest car" there. The COE does not even include the cost of the car. For many,the COE costs more than the car itself

      ***** I can stream 1080p content from 3-4 devices simultaneously anywhere in my house with no buffering.
      Get a better router or troubleshoot your channel configurations. Make sure you're using 2.4GHz if you want more range.
