The Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi says the government has not decided yet whether to allow management control of Proton by Volkswagen AG. He cited Volkswagen’s insistence on wanting to be very certain of everything – you could call it cautiousness – as one of the reasons why the deal is taking some time to be finalised.
“We want as soon as possible but we cant force them to hurry up,†added Abdullah. Apparently Volkswagen is just waiting for a nod from the government in regards to the management control.
