Dr M takes Jokowi for a fast spin – and president cool about it

President of indonesia Joko Widodo took a ride in the new proton Iriz driven by Proton Chairman Tun Mahathir Mohamad during his visit to Proton centre of Excellence in Shah Alam.

SUBANG JAYA: Being driven by a senior citizen at rather high speeds is not something many people would be comfortable with, but Indonesian President Joko Widodo demonstrated perfect calm when the “treat” was served.

Jokowi was one of the rare few who had the privilige of being taken on a three-lap spin at Proton’s testing track by company chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as part of the president’s programme at Proton’s Centre of Excellence here.
