On a second thought i do realized bukaka and polytron never bother to put anything resemble " karya anak bangsa " in their product at all these days
bukaka
Never heard of that. Polytron is pretty decent for home audio. Does Polytron still in business these days
Most of the time I wonder why there isn't local products / services that actually cater for my need. For example every 2 years or so there is always sales rep from some mobile teleco company that came to me offering their upgraded service on top of the priority service I've already used. What I did was always giving them a very small list of what I need (requirement) and told them IF they can fulfil that few points, then give me the contract and I will sign it. So far NONE dare to come forward. The wort BS er is that SOE mobile teleco company whose always in the habit of BS ing all their customers even though I've always warned them that I've been in the related business / industry one way or another for over 20 years.
Another type of product that I really need but so far there isn't any local made substitute is textile related, in this case backpack. That's right I haven't found any locally made backpack that fit my rather stringent requirement. Example of few backpacks that I had bought (privately) and use ;
Except for the first backpack, all of those backpacks were
Made in Vietnam. I mean seriously?. Backpack is literally textile based product with internal aluminium frame and so far our industry unable to came out with anything in par with any of them
So far I've already sold all of them. Apparently every time after I use any gears for several times in actual real world field condition most of my friend / colleague insist of buying them. Sometimes I felt like I'm some kind of outdoor / field equipments
makelaar here. ooch well they do need it more than I do, so I sold it to them at base price.
