Yakcop: Government will miss 31 March deadline for Proton tie-up

Second Finance Minister Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop said the government would not be able to meet the 31st March 2007 deadline of tomorrow for naming Proton’s strategic tie-up partner, as the government was still evaluating options.

However he did not comment on reports that Volkswagen had scrapped plans for a tie-up with Proton that was reported by the Straits Times this morning.

    no no… they will say “volkswagen wanted to control everything in proton. and they wanted to have their own ppl on top of proton”…. and then the g will say “we will not sell our pride to some foreigners!” and then the rakyat will go like “damn you volkswagen!”
