Tengku Tan Sri Mahaleel Tengku Ariff said he is still the chief executive officer of Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Bhd (Proton) and would remain so, as long as his services are required.
“I do not want to comment on my bosses but I have served the company for nine years although my contract is due to expire ? I am entrusted with the task of looking after the country’s assets and I will continue to work for the country so long as I am needed,” Mahaleel told reporters after officiating the opening of the Proton showroom and sales centre at Alia Automobile in Penang yesterday morning.
