In light of the worsening flood conditions, Proton has augmented its We-Care Prihatin Banjir programme by providing a 30% discount on parts for owners affected by the floods. Apart from the discount, Proton is also offering to not charge any form of labour costs for repairs.
The programme is set to end on March 15, 2015 and includes a free inspection service, damage valuation and towing assistance from affected locations to selected Proton service centres. Proton has also listed several tips on how to best limit the damage in a flood-affected car, such as:
- Do not turn on your car engine.
- Do not use a remote control to open the car door. Instead, do this manually.
- Make sure to remove the negative terminal of the car battery to stop the flow of
electricity in the car. - All three measures above are intended to minimise damage to equipment, in particular
to electrical and mechanical components of the vehicle. - If these steps are taken, some equipment can still be saved.
- After turning off the car electricity, remove valuables from the car, lock the door manually
and get the car towed to an authorised Proton service centre.
For further enquiries and/or towing services, customers can contact the Proton Customer Care hotline at 1800-888-398.

30% still cannot afford la bang, parts very expensive from dealer, most still cannot afford..do some meaningful la sikit offer more for this poor folks
Proton such a good company! They actually help. Good Job! Malaysia Boleh!
Yea, took RM1600mil from us (tax payers), it is time to do give some feedback to the society. It is not their money anyway.
Proton should let loyal Proton fanboys and girls,whose cars are flood water ravaged,pay only actual cost of parts without any profiteering at all by Proton.
Many of them do not have insurance coverage for flooded cars.
Also,kindly absorb the towing and charges .Indirectly,the rakyat is paying for these unfortunate Proton loyalists,hit by natural disasters.
Janji ditepati! 30% reduction of car prices… Oops, i mean parts
At least they help…its not about how much, but how sincere you are in helping people…for sure many bashers here don’t even drive a Proton themselves laaa.talk cock only.hahaha…
Correct. Instead of talking nonsense you can help give idea to make this better. People help also want complaint. Typical Malaysians.
30% discount? If proton really care, maybe they should just shut down their plant and remove the taxes on foreign cars, do everyone a favour and cease to exist.
unfortunately we have past that globalization thingy, after 08 even the us gonna protect their local industries, even new emerging markets are finding taxes on automobiles lucrative. As for developed nations like the uk and us, cars are cheap but insurance cost and labor on maintenance are high.
Us and Uk’s average salary is not RM3000.
Agree with you . Drove two years in London and had to paid almost 2000 pounds for the insurance ( mini cooper s ) plus the MOT services every year. Phewwwww
On top of that , per labor service is roughly 80-100 pounds and i changed my rear brake sets for 500 pounds ( kwik-fit ) . Plus VAT 20 % of your total bill. mehh
Liverpool is even worse, my friend paid 2800 pound for his Mini since Liverpool is ‘high crime risk area’.
‘and remove the taxes on foreign cars’
Where this nonsense come from, that countries without a ‘national car’ don’t have to pay taxes on foreign cars?
Take Norway, an oil exporting country: You may have to pay 100 per cent of the cost of the car on additional taxes and other costs.
Thanks and I like the last tips.
PROTON TOWING :p
popcorns ready for idiot bashers.
help kena bash, dont help also kena bash.
malaysian~
Not all malaysian.. Only the uncivilised. Reminds me not to read pt’s comment section
Well at least proton is taking initiative about this. what about others car manufacturer ? They cost more to repair example contis and japs
Other manufacturers don’t ask Gov to pay R&D costs

Lol it’s promised and yet other manufacturers get incentives in other ways, do you think foreign investments come here for nothing, only to pay tax? Idiot
Promised what? Like the hybrid incentive recently that G pulled out? Do you think other manufacturers “Tak tahu malu” like your Proton kah? Because of Proton, many car manufacturers went to Thailand to set up car hub instead. You are the real idiot if you don’t know

At least better than nothing. Meanwhile at a golf club in Hawaii………
Dude, he’s already back. What say u now?
come back after a week flood.. even Tganu MB cancelled his umrah trip..
Proton cars not water proof?
Sam loo. Toyota no discount ar? No action at all wor.
Why would the victims care about Proton cars at this moment? Having food and water supply is more important
He is only an uncle sales man. What can he ask.umw to do?
You name really suits you. If you’re the flood victim, would you care fixing your car during a flood? This again shows the stupidity of Proton and its supporters, always do useless things
T is stupid not to help anything
Due to three months of rain, shouldn’t they be considering vehicles like SUVs or light trucks, with 4×4 capabilities? while you’re at it, all wheel drive turbo sedans sounds good too.. hahah.
Floor victims are in desparate need of water, warm foods, medical suppliers, blankets and restore the homes as their top most priority instead of fixed car problems.
Proton already have markup XX of percentage on profits not sure how 30% discounts really make an impact of your charitable thought.
Looks like Perodua donation to flood victims had done thing in a right ways. Perodua really put themself in shoes of flood victims then you have the feeling of the plight of flood victims.
Agree, Proton are doing it wrong. Give discount for what? The victims need most are basic necessities, the last thing they want is a Proton car!
p1 and p2 did something, how about T? No action talk only
30% discount? look at how much proton marked-up its part prices.
no wonder.
