MAS should take a cue from Proton and turn around

Malaysia should give a big thumbs up to Proton’s CEO Dr Li Chunrong, who took up this challenging job of turning around Proton in October 2017 amid scepticism and doubt.

EARLY last week, I was pleasantly surprised by the reports by several analysts revealing that our national carmaker Proton has turned around after nearly a decade in the doldrums.

The analysts obtained confirmation from the management of DRB-Hicom Bhd, which holds a 51% stake in Proton, that the car manufacturer had turned around in the first quarter of 2019.
