        He left after cannot stand knowing he had been helping his Jepunis bosses cheating the rakyat off their hard-earned money and their lives lost. So the next best thing to atone for his conscious was to join Proton and herald “affordable safety” revolution, providing cheap, reliable, safety and feature-filled cars to the rakyat.
