This just in. Proton has announced that one of its employees from the Research and Development Department in Shah Alam has tested positive for Covid-19. The employee was tested positive on October 14, and was immediately hospitalised.
Extensive disinfection of the facility and contract tracing processes are already underway. The national automaker said it will strictly adhere to the protocols issued by authorities to prevent further spread of the virus.
Other Proton R&D staff have been advised to self-quarantine at home. Proton assures that the infected employee was not in anyway exposed to customers, so there is not much concern about direct exposure to clients.
In a press statement, Proton said it will “continue to strictly follow all guidelines and procedures laid out by the authorities as it has been doing from the start of the pandemic.” The company will continue monitoring the situation before deciding if any further actions are necessary.
Proton owners and SA need not too worry. as long we don’t get into direct contact or touch the car front grille, the only part our local Proton R&D created. Exquisitely shown by the kind PT crew, header picture above of the front grille..
Yeah. Lucky it wasn’t their CKD team that did all the hardwork in making a great LHD to RHD conversion while their R&D guys are hard at work in Hangzhou. The factory continue to operate at full capacity rushing to meet 20k X50 orders.
Poor DK/newme. Still with the unfunny jokes, eh?
Dont worry, not many x70 potential buyer went to showroom, all went to Perodua to get the Urus
Yup. Konpem Perodua buyers are delusional thinking they are buying Lambo Urus. No wonder they speeding alwiz macam nak mampus.
Hopefully containment was done ASAP before it spreads. And hope it don’t badly affected their plant operations as they are poised to run full steam on producing X50.
May Proton R&D employee get well soon. Not those returning from Geely hangzhou plant,
kalau Nov itu X50 pun blom lagi launch ataupun dedahkan harga, ako akan cancel booking ako, tak larat nak tunggu lagi…
No problem bro. Lagi ramai org tunggu belakang u. Plis give way.
Itu pun kalau betul lah ko dah booking. Tapi rasanya peluang lebih besar ko cuma troll…
Not many ppl booking, we have over 30million population
Immediately hospitalized. Oh no! Pray for him he only has 99.9% chance of surviving.
R & D for what… To design air grill
Nice for you to drop by. So where were you the past 30 years?
The car won’t change itself from left hand drive to right hand drive on its own, dum-dum.
X50 + C19 = a good package for a new booking customer…
Yeah CR7 got himself an X50 + C19. See even Proton can attract global superstar to buy.
