KUALA LUMPUR:  The government has received 21 proposals from both local and foreign firms for the third national car project, up from the previous 14 announced earlier, said International Trade and Industry (MITI) Deputy Minister, Dr Ong Kian Ming.

Ong said the increased number of proposals showed the new national car project had not been impacted by the United Kingdom-base Dyson's decision to sett up an new electric car manufacturing plant in Singapore.
