Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad has once again spoke out on the Proton issue. He says Proton should not be sold to a foreign company, but must remain local, thus it should be sold to one of the local share bidders – Naza, Mofaz or DRB-HICOM.
He also thinks one of the most important things to do to turn Proton around is remove the current management and put back the old management whom he says has a proven track record – presumably referring to Proton’s previous CEO – Tengku Mahaleel.
I’m sorry Tun, but I have to disagree with you. I very much prefer the current dark-interiored Satria Neo to a beige-interiored Satria Neo.
AD: Drive the Proton model of your dreams. Submit your details and Proton PJ will get in touch with you.
