KLANG: Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Sdn Bhd (Proton) is aiming for a turnaround in its operations by the year 2020. It doesn’t see Perodua as a competitor moving forward, but Honda

“I think for me, I will be able to do it in three years. But if it is in two years, it will be very good. It will be by 2020. I don’t think the directors can wait if it is in 2021,” chief executive officer Li Chunrong said.
