Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad
IN what would seem like a serious attempt to help turn the company around, national carmaker Proton Holdings Bhd appointed Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as its chairman earlier this week.
Industry observers see the move as a last-ditched attempt by the former prime minister to protect his legacy and his tenure is off to a good start as Mahathir has announced that Proton is in talks with several Japanese motor companies on jointly collaborating in the future.
