Proton says it has managed to deliver the first batch of 60,000 face shields, which were produced at its Shah Alam plant, ahead of schedule. The national carmaker first began manufacturing and delivering the face shields on April 16, 2020, and initially estimated that the entire exercise would take 20 days.
“Proton would like to say thank you to our volunteer staff who worked tirelessly to complete production of the face shields ahead of schedule,” said Datuk Radzaif Mohamed, deputy chief executive officer of Proton.
“We would also like to acknowledge Pos Logistics Berhad for doing an excellent job delivering them and Hicom-Teck See Manufacturing for donating the material to produce the face shields. As of 4pm on 28 April, deliveries have been made to 46 hospitals in Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Negeri Sembilan, Malacca and Johor,” he added.
While the first batch of face shields were meant to support medical frontliners, the company has decided that it will produce a second batch to be distributed to other forces on the Covid-19 front line, including the police (PDRM), the army (ATM) and other service industries. This will be a joint effort with Proton’s parent company, DRB-Hicom.
“For the second phase we will produce a further 60,000 face shields and prioritise deliveries to members of the PDRM and ATM enforcing the movement control order (MCO). Production kicks off on May 4 and thanks to improvements made along the way, we expect it to be completed by May 9,” said Radzaif.

Toyota’s face shields not yet deliver to medical frontliners. Behind schedule.
That is what happens when relying on Japs that only knows how to tidur goyang kaki and minum sake 8x a day. They should learn from DRB abang-abangs how to be efficient. Even Germans bow down and admitted DRB boys are better than Wolfsburg workers. Our DRB abang-abangs are the real gamechangers.
Thanks to Geely’s Game-Changing management and knowledge, Proton are able to deliver all the equipments to the frontliners ahead of the schedule and also became a Game-Changing sample for world carmakers like Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Chevrolet, Ford, etc. Without Geely, I don’t know what will Proton be today (most likely Game Over) as Proton don’t have any clear vision and mision
Be patience…they want to add some skirting, rims, some TRD badges…
This way they can claim their mask is far superior in term of initial cost and will retain its RV…can claim more tax deduction from gomen.
Excellent management by Game-Changing Geely helping Proton to produce and distribute face masks to frontliners which exceeds the expectation. This is why we all have to thank Geely for giving their Game-Changing knowledge to Proton
Meanwhile Toyota only just started making faceshields. So selow poke. Better for Toyota to be under Geely ownership so they can gamechange the world with game-changing Geely and Proton.
Thumbs up finger lickin good to Proton!
