When we started out, our main objective was to propel Malaysia into the 21st century as an industrialised nation. From day 1, we set out to strategically develop indigenous R&D and design capabilities while aiming for world class manufacturing and production standards. Our desire to constantly improve continues to this day, undoubtedly leading to PROTON being at the forefront of the automotive industry.
Our story traces back to 1979 where former prime minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad conceived a vision: to create a national car. A monumental challenge even to this day. In 1983, PROTON was formed, laying the foundations to the nation’s pride in the automotive industry.
1985 marked a momentous year in Malaysia’s history. The country’s first national car, the Proton Saga, rolled out to the masses. An elusive dream for most nations, PROTON made it a reality for Malaysia. Since its inception, PROTON has become a key driver of national development as it paves the way forward with technology transfer, strategic partnerships and technical collaborations. Today, with the collaboration of our strategic partner, Geely, PROTON continues to design and build cars as it helps shape the landscape of Malaysia’s automotive industry, while it aims to grow big internationally.
One of the things Li Chunrong did when assuming the role as CEO of Proton Holdings was to set up a Cross Function Team (CFT) to identify and address internal issues the company faced, and at the same time develop a new working culture for the new Malaysian-China team.
According to The Edge, before Geely came into the picture, Proton suffered from weak operational management, and the first thing the CFT recommended was to ask Proton vendors to reduce costs by 30% if they wished to continue supplying parts to the group.
This, naturally, was met with resistance. Vendors immediately complained about how difficult it would be to cut costs by 30% and still remain in business. Such defiance inadvertently caused rumours about Proton outsourcing parts from China to spread, but Li insisted that local vendors start cutting costs.

Back in March this year, as the COVID-19 pandemic began to surge across the country (and world), Proton quickly arranged to provide the Ministry of Health (MoH) with 50 vehicles to help their frontliners move around to any hotspots in need of urgent attention.
The problems in Proton cars ranged from faulty power windows, poor quality control and many more that haunted Malaysians over the past three decades. The latest article from the Star showed that Proton's quality control in the past was done by checking one car out of the 40 cars assemble.
