A Saudi Arabian private company under the Al-Qabba Group called Malaysian Centre plans to setup a Proton assembly plant in Saudi Arabia to market Proton cars in the Middle Eastern market. Malaysian Centre is currently talking to DRB-HICOM as their middlemen with Proton, and will be paying a visit to Malaysian soon to discuss the matter.
Sales targets would be 2,000 cars a year initially and these figures are expected to increase to 5,000 units a year by the year 2011.

Actually proton don't need any technical partner.. most of them just want to take over the proton, since the proton had a VERY BIG POTENTIAL. just like you playing klse stock. now RM1 – 5 years later = RM10 .
Proton's still leading in the middle level people in the most arab country..

BTW, it's nonsense to speak something about 4 year again to go.. 2011? aiyaaa…
