Proton Xchange Programme, the car scrapping scheme from Proton has been discontinued. In a media statement, Proton said only applications that reached its offices on or before Oct 31 would be processed for the rebate vouchers.
The national car manufacturer said it had received a total of 25,862 applications from March 10 to Oct 31, exhausting the funds provided by the government’s economic stimulus plan before the given year-end period. 7,539 applications were received from Nov 1-6 before Proton realised that the piggy bank was empty – however, the company has come up with a “special incentive scheme” for this group of customers. If you are among those who submitted forms in November, contact Proton for further arrangements.
Unsuccessful applicants will not need to surrender their old cars in order to enjoy the special scheme but Proton would provide the necessary assistance in making arrangements with used car dealers. “While this scheme is applicable to the purchases of any Proton cars, the cars must be registered by the Jan 31, 2010,” the statement read.
AD: Drive the Proton model of your dreams. Submit your details and Proton PJ will get in touch with you.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments mostly express frustration and disappointment over the Proton car scrapping program discontinuation, blaming government policies, high taxes, or Proton’s quality issues. Several commenters feel Proton failed to honor promises and criticized its management, quality control, and safety standards, often comparing Proton unfavorably to international brands. Others defend Proton, citing its contribution to local industry and affordability for low-income Malaysians, while some highlight broader systemic issues like taxes, corruption, and lack of competition. A few comments suggest the program benefited lower-income groups and shared dissatisfaction with government policies affecting car prices. Overall, sentiments are mixed but tend to focus on Proton’s perceived shortcomings, government involvement, and the impact on consumers.
