History
It all began in 1979. Malaysia's Father of Modernisation, Tun Mahathir Mohamad, (then the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia), mooted the idea of establishing an automotive assembling and manufacturing industry in our country.
It was Tun Mahathir's dream to accelerate Malaysia's industrialisation capabilities to match those of developed nations.
His dream became one step closer to reality when the Cabinet approved the National Car Project in 1982.
In 1986, barely a year after our first car was launched, we celebrated the official rollout of the 10,000th Proton
The following year, we launched the Proton Saga 1.5l sedan and Aeroback models. By then, over 50,000 units of the Proton Saga had been produced and sold in Bangladesh, Brunei, New Zealand, Malta and Sri Lanka
Soon after, Proton cars were distributed in the United Kingdom.
