Since DRB-HICOMs presentation in Proton, some of VWs tip organisation directors have visited a Proton plant, as well as reviewed all a existing Proton models.Following a review as well as a assembly in Hong Kong last month in between Soh Wei Ming (VW conduct for a Pacific) as well as DRB-HICOMs chief operating officer, DatukLukman Ibrahim, it was decided which a Polo would be a many appropriate fit for Proton. - Volkswagen's grand vision for Proton, BT 5-3-2012
DRB's Proton to re-badge Polo, says who? The series of articles in a writings upon Proton as well as VW would have been sparkling news, ordinarily. But during a time when DRB-Hicom has just taken over a inhabitant automobile [DRB's bosses have been due to take over a Board of Proton this March 21], a headlines is odd. Worrying, in fact.
Read a articles in this order:
What happens to "no some-more re-badging", Luqman? The Polo is a great, tiny car. But if you want a inhabitant automobile to go behind to rebadging cars (or if you longed for VW to run a show), you didn't need a bloody corporate takeover to do that.The people during DRB-Hicom had been priesthood against rebadging - it was a major indicate they were making to behind their bid for Proton - but here you have headlines which Luqman, who's sloping to replace Syed Zainal as CEO of Proton, okaying a due rebadging.
If DRB as well as Luqman do not deny or explain a headlines about rebadging a VW immediately, you am taking it which they have been starting behind upon their words!
Proton's heartache. In a related development, Syed Zainal is said to be getting his marching orders before a end of a month. You can suppose how unhappy a Proton employees as well as unions have been about this. Many felt which since Apr is a launch of a new Proton model, described by Dr Mahathir as a many appropriate Proton automobile ever (and not rebadged), Syed Zainal should be authorised during slightest a honour of holding a ribbons whilst a Prime Minister cuts them.
DRB's headache. Morale is low during Proton, you guess you don't have to discuss it any one that. In any corporate takeover, a CEO, COO as well as CFO or a celebration which is being taken over will have to go. Syed Mokhtar's DRB will be putting a own people to conduct a inhabitant car. But DRB has a own problems in conditions of crew as it has lost utterly a few really great people in a last few months due to internal politics. Last month, DRB's many seasoned automobile man walked out of a group. People in Proton have been hoping DRB's internal governing body will stay during DRB as well as not come to Proton. you hope you don't end up with a Proton that's run by VW people! What Syed Mokthtar needs is a conduct who knows how to rev up a spirit of a Proton citizens.
Should be con'd ..
