BACKBENCHER’S Club deputy chairman Datuk Bung Moktar Radin (for once this guy is talking sense! Does Zizie has something to do with this?) has called for Proton to be wound up claiming that the national car maker had embarrassed the nation by trying to pass off a rebadged Mitsubishi Lancer as the Proton Inspira.(Actually we have been embarrassed with worse from Bung himself!)
Bung Moktar (BN-Kinabatangan) said he could not accept Proton’s excuse that it was too costly to develop its own car to replace the Proton Waja.
“Proton said it would cost RM700mil to produce a new car. If it cannot afford (to design a new model), then just close down.
“Do not embarrass the country. Proton has been doing research and development for years. Don’t tell me that there is no design that can make the people proud,” he said while debating the Budget 2011.
