Proton aims to turn profitable this year


Interview with Proton CEO Dr.Li Chunrong.

SOON after Dr Li Chunrong (pic) took up the challenging job as chief executive officer of Proton Holdings Bhd in October 2017 to rescue the then ailing car company, about 90% of car dealers were up in arms against him.

Dr Li was sent by China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group to Kuala Lumpur after the latter purchased a 49.9% stake in Malaysia’s national car company, which was looking for a foreign strategic partner after incurring huge losses and piling up debts for years.
