Dr M: Why I quit Proton

Proton also needs to develop a solid business plan.

PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says he resigned as Proton chairman, that he was not expelled, as the company "seems to be having difficulties with the Government."

"I was not expelled by the Proton management or owners. I decided on my own, for the sake of Proton I should leave. I therefore have no grudge against Proton nor do I want it to fail after I left.
