Ketika pengumuman jenama EV baharu Proton eMAS semalam, jenama automotif nasional berkenaan telah membuat kesilapan melabelkan kedudukan negeri Sabah dan Sarawak dalam salah satu slaid pembentangannya. Menyedari kesilapan tersebut, Proton hari ini telahpun mengeluarkan satu kenyataan rasmi untuk memohon maaf atas kesilapan itu.
Kenyataan permohonan maaf berkenaan adalah seperti berikut:
Unfortunately, Sabah and Sarawak often overlooked by a lot of Malaysians.
Few years back I have a Sabah friend who works in KL. He said he will back to his Sabah home than back to KL later on later date.
Another friend asked him, how long will you be in Sabah and when will you be back to Malaysia?
It sounds like Sabah is not part of Malaysia, which is sad
