Proton has announced that subsequent to one of its employees having tested positive for Covid-19 on October 14, a further 49 other cases at the automaker have now been detected. All are employees from the engineering division in Shah Alam, and have been reported to the authorities.
As of now, the company has requested all non-essential personnel working within the Shah Alam facility to work from home as a precautionary measure. The company reiterated that it will “continue to strictly follow all guidelines and procedures as it has been doing from the start of the pandemic.”
It reassured customers that the Centre of Service Excellence (COSE) and showroom at its Shah Alam facility undergoes disinfection hourly, and all customer facing personnel follow a rigorous procedure to ensure safety protocols are adhered to.
Proton added that it has been adhering to official protocols and is continuing its efforts with more stringent actions to ensure prevention of further spread. It said that contact tracing is ongoing and a Covid-19 team is monitoring the situation very closely.

Should let those factory hands work from home,
I hope they all get well soon and go back to producing X50s as many as possible. Go go go Proton!
Dr.Li, it is time 2 upgrade into robotic production line till 90%. Cheaper overhead cost. And hi productive effectiveness. Malaysian can enjoy cheaper car price.
It doesn’t make sense to let robots do all the work. Many manufacturers around the world tried this already, but failed (i.e. FIAT). There are tasks where a human is faster and cheaper.
I heard the reason for an exceptionally high numbers of staff getting infected was due to delayed/slow action by the management to take necessary actions such as early containment of the staff working the RnD department, and in a close environment, 3C SOPs were not really emphasised. Hope any Proton staff can confirm this, so it can be a lesson for others.
Where did you heard that from anyways? Look, Proton is a big organisation for sure they have proper SOPs in place but there are bound to be misses, and the risk of asymptomatic carriers. Look at Menara Telekom, Top Glove, etc, big companies yet missed. The point is to contain and prevent spreading now. They are doing it right by swiftly stopping the spread.
Lepak smoke satu group. Sure kena
Abang abang P1 please get well soon. Becoming sihat and strong and produce X50. XOXOXOXOX
Where’s the x50 pricing?
