Proton recently handed over a brand-new Persona to the Strategic Resources and Technology Department (StaRT) at the Selangor police contingent headquarters. The vehicle will be used in training activities held by the department to test its performance and capabilities.
For research and testing purposes, the national carmaker also provided the department with a 1.6 litre DOHC four-cylinder VVT petrol engine as well as a CVT automatic unit. This is aimed at improving PDRM’s knowledge of Proton vehicles, allowing them to have better expertise in how to handle them.
The police have engaged Proton as a vehicle supplier since the company was founded, with around 9,408 Proton vehicles used as either official, patrol or special operations cars. Among the models used include the Saga, Wira, Waja, Perdana, Inspira, Exora and Preve.
“On behalf of Proton, I would like to thank PDRM for giving us (Proton) the opportunity to work together with the police. This effort will hopefully enhance the service provided by PDRM to the citizens of this country, and indirectly, strengthens the relations between the police and Proton,” said Datuk Ahmad Fuaad Kenali, CEO of Proton Holdings Berhad.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
There goes RM1.8bil R&D spending
no wonder crime is going higher and higher. PDRM busy testing performance of Proton engine.
Where got time to patrol our streets?
Where did you pick that up? Sky?
Big joke.
Those PDRM officers dont even want to drive local proton themself.
better for PDRM to do research for Proton and close down Proton research and department. After all, all they can do is take Iriz wheels and pasang into Persona. And then, they say it cost few hundred million to do so
Cave facts from caveman
When P2 donate car, its gud, its CSR, its jaga perihatin rakyat, banzai to P2.
When P2 donate car, its that shiet above.
Nie citer P1…lu bedal P2.
Sama je bila citer bmw bedal p1. We bash all
Come on guys..
Buka minda sikit. bukan semua polis tugas dia meronda cegah jenayah. Dalam polis pun ada bahagian teknikal/kemahiran. Kan ada Maktab Teknik PDRM kt Muar Johor. Maktab ni la yg latih bidang-bidang kemahiran. Bila Proton buat sumbangan maka bolehla pelatih-pelatih ni didedahkan dan belajar dari model-model proton yg baru. Diorg ni la yg akn buat kerja-kerja maintenance kereta-kereta polis tu nnt.
Proton pun bukan sumbang kt PDRM saja. kt Institusi Kemahiran / Universiti lain pun diorg sumbang juga tapi takdela dihebohkan…..
Now thevpolicy can repair cars…no bad…multitasking …good good…bravo…kudo to PDRM…all u loser shl learn from them…dont simple lepak here and thre…do train yr self on other skills ..k
PDRM shud order 50k new Ploton patrol car…then bravo…kudos to PDRM.
Since police cars are subjected to heavy usage almost everyday, it’s good for them to earn knowledge of vehicles and troubleshoot any potential issues (if any) for Proton vehicles which made up majority of police patrol cars in Malaysia.
They do have their own maintenance department that service and repair their vehicles.
Wish there was someone like Trump to give a politically incorrect speech.
Should give pdrm a rear wheel drive car. Pdrm can drift.
Strange. Considering the amount of Protons on the road, its really odd that PDRM cannot use some from their impound yard that has confirmed cannot be put back on the road.
Oh, I see. PDRM is not ONLY a Crime buster. They are “also” doing Research for P1 since PDRM have 9408 vehicles under their care.
Maybe PDRM can compile a dossier & hand over all the data collected all these years for P1 to evaluate & come out with a better plan on how to make their cars more durable & cheaper to replace/maintain.
If PDRM can help P1 in R&D, that is a smart move to save $$$ in future & save our tax payer $$$.
Somehow it will become a good move also (hopefully). Later the police can make their own super fighting crime car which can tangkap all people with bad driving attitude. Got sensor oh..
Those wheel design looks much better with chrome finish.
Definitely PDRM is smart. Always choose safe car for them.
As much as Proton & other car manufacturers wants to only produce Auto, it just doest cut it for advance driving like what MT transmission can offer. The CVT is absolutely horrible & incapable for chasing suspects purpose.
