The joke’s on Proton
On April Fool’s day 2016, Proton exploded into the news at the close of business with a statement from International Trade and Industry Minister Mustapa Mohamed on the critical state of Proton and what needs to be done to save it. It was then immediately followed up by statements from Umno supreme council members on how Dr Mahathir Mohamad has single-handedly tanked Proton due to his incompetence. Today it’s a shootout between Dr M and the PM.
