The Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) will be introducing financial assistance schemes for Proton vendors to increase their quality and production levels, with an allocation of RM400 million from the government’s coffers under the Automotive Industry Development Fund.
“The ministry will work with Proton to ensure that this effort is successful and hopefully producers who have been appointed as vendors to Proton (when they get the assistance) will successfully see through their efforts. We will use the money to strengthen the selected Proton vendors and raise their standards to a much higher level. This is very important,” said MITI Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express skepticism about the RM400 million allocation, with many seeing it as a bailout for Proton vendors linked to cronies and questioning its effectiveness. Several critics argue the funds should be spent on public infrastructure like roads and hospitals. There are concerns over corruption, lack of accountability, and vendor incompetence, criticizing government assistance as wasteful, and calling for stricter standards or alternative support mechanisms rather than blanket funding. Overall, sentiments are largely negative, condemning misuse of taxpayer money and government favoritism in the automotive sector.
