Flagging off the convoy in conjunction with Malaysia’s participation in the
Singapore Open Super Series this year, with Badminton Association of Malaysia.
Chairman’s Statement
At the same time, my sincerest appreciation goes out to our Board of Directors for its
vision and commitment to guide PROTON in achieving our strategic objectives. We are also
grateful for the support shown by our shareholders and confident that we will continue to
strive ahead to enhance shareholder value in the long term.
Our appreciation and gratitude also goes out to all our customers around the globe,
as without your support, feedback, comments and criticisms, PROTON would not have
been able to achieve what it has in the relatively short period of time, in becoming a
full-fledged OEM. Rest assured we will strive to become a badge that owners are proud to
own.
Finally, we would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to our Prime Minister YAB Dato’
Sri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak; our adviser YABhg Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad;
our former Prime Minister YABhg Tun Abdullah Haji Ahmad Badawi; and the Malaysian
Government for their continued support and guidance of PROTON and the Malaysian
automotive industry during these tumultuous times. Without this support, our progress
and the growth of the industry would have been greatly stifled and impaired.
Thank you.
Dato’ Mohd Nadzmi Bin Mohd Salleh
