Located at Saleufi, the owners are Leaupepe Tala Tu’ua Tapuai and Mafuao Luke MacDonald.
In her speech, Leaupepe said, “I personally am not here to just sell the Foton cars, instead I am here to make sure that Foton sells.”
“Why? Because I would not sell you anything that I didn’t like. We did the specifications for these babies to fit the Samoan roads. We believe in these cars and I sincerely hope you get the chance to ride in them, test drive them and believe in them too.”
Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi as guest speaker, said the government quickly approves the establishment of businesses of this sort in the country.
“These are businesses that develop the country,” he said. “This is not a new business initiative it is operated by others already and the positive thing is the competition which leads to cheaper vehicles.”
Tuilaepa also pointed out that this sort of competition introduces new vehicle brands into the country.
He said he couldn’t identify why Chan Mow, Frankie and Westerlund businesses are so successful when they are Samoan. But then he said it was possible that their success is they are good at competing. They bring in good quality products and sell them for cheaper prices.
And they don’t want a quick profit but a good turn over.
“Not only that, but it benefits the whole country with cheap but good products being introduced into markets across the country.”
Tuilaepa urged the people to stop being jealous of those who have the heart and are brave enough to set up businesses.
He said this was the problem that was reflected in the local community - there was too much jealousy.
He encouraged the people instead to express a feeling of support and happiness for those that make such commitments.
