Mahathir on Proton and Foreign Invaders from Hell ™
Tun Mahathir’s been saying quite a bit of things about the revamped Proton, which still a headless chicken as far as I’m concerned. A September 7th article in the EdgeDaily carries a short interview with the Man concerning Proton’s future and the current state of events in his pet project. Much of what he’s said is in his own characteristic style: protestations of ignorance couched in words meant to infuse the listening public with the impression that he’s not exactly being truthful. Politician’s sophistry? Maybe:
“Well, I don’t know. I have not been told about these things but you are going to find a lot of things wrong with Proton now,” said the former prime minister, in response to a question on a news report that Proton may shelve plans for a production plant in China.
