"of prime ministers and proton"
------------------------------------------
although we should applaud dr. m's determination in finding proton the best foreign partner out there [in terms of a willing acquiesce of protecting proton's interests], i think the company should be more than desperate to find such a partner. the survival of the malaysian car industry, nay, proton itself, hinges upon it. as the visionary behind the project, we can understand why dr. m would say such a thing...but dude, proton's not all that hot. find that partner first, and work your way up. some companies may not want to touch proton with a fifteen-foot pole otherwise.
