KUALA LUMPUR: The development of the third national car is not for the sake of adding another brand besides Proton and Perodua. The aim is for the integration of the automotive sector to make Malaysia the vendor for industry players in Asean.

Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Dr Ong Kian Ming said the automotive sector in Malaysia was not just about national cars and it should be viewed beyond the sectorial perspective.
