Hi guys, malaysian here. I try to answer few questions you asked in the video. Hope it helps.
The N95 filter in car: There's actually case in malaysia somewhere 2019 where college students died from poisoning in proton's car because of carbon monoxide leaking from exhaust into interior of the car. 3 college student were died and 1 is in a comma. That sparks the conversation about carbon monoxide and n95 stuff.
the lady told that she likes the safety: The government really encourages malaysian women to drive in the country. That's why proton comes out with lots of sensors to help women driving. I know this sounds very stereotype for woman on driving, what i can say is proton did their research and offer solution to their target market.
NCAP safety 5 star rating: One of common stereotype about proton in malaysia is that proton's car is also well known as "sardine can car". Proton car will crumpled so bad in road accident where driver will sandwiched between their car seat and the steering wheel and can't get out from it. lots of cases of people's limbs getting cut off just to take them out from the car. So now proton getting serious to improve their safety and promoting their new car has a 5 star NCAP ASEAN.
Thanks for reviewing malaysian's car. you guys are awesome!
Thank you!!! -Miles
u said the proton logo is thundercat? yeah,many Malaysian agree with it.
Proton logo looks like thundercat but its actually a tiger
the old logo is better
this looks like china copy other brand
Proton was created in the 90's... alot of us growing up watching Thundercats so its only natural to go with that look lmao
Thunder Thunder Thundercat.... God my most favourite cartoon growing up in the 80's
It's Malayan Tiger
My son just bought a Proton Persona 2019 and i enjoy sitting in the car while my son drive ....it is smooth, quiet engine and good suspension. Also comfortable inside. Affordable too. I dont go for brands but affordable, comfort and proper place and reasonable cost of service & maintenance.
Where are you from
They're so excited until they forget social distancing when seating in the car..lmao🤣
I am Malaysian..and I'm so proud with the new Malaysia's car! 👏👏👍🔥❤
To truly understand the full transformation you'll need to see beyond just the official promotion videos by proton.
Initially proton was setup with the assistance of Mitsubishi motors, with several older generation of its lancer given to proton to produce under the name Proton Saga. The next few cars from proton is various generations of the lancer.
It was a great hit and everyone (Malaysians) is buying proton cars. Cheap reliable and good quality, it dominated the local car market. Out of 10 cars you see on the road, 8 will be a proton.
Then things got bad. Rampant corruption and bad management. The fatal blow was the quality standards that even the Japanese car maker couldn't change and pulled out from proton. None the less proton continued to try and design their own cars, esp after the acquisition of lotus. With the new technology in hand they came developed the campro engine, which to be honest, although powerful, its using technology from a light weight sports car and didn't do well in heavier sedan cars (in terms of fuel efficiency).
With the continued decline of quality, consumers started to seek imported cars, they turned to toyota vios and honda city.
Malaysia then came out with its second national car maker, this time in corporation with Daihatsu, and like proton, almost All it's cars is older models of the daihatsu Mira.
Consumers started to turn to perodua and proton is facing collapse. Capital is pumped into proton from the government directly, then subsequently through government controlled investment firms but it still can't save proton.
The government then decided to put proton for sale, among the interested potential buyers is volkswagon, but they too couldn't change the mindset of proton and gave up and didn't proceed with the acquisition.
Few years back, the Chinese car manufacturer geely, took an interest in proton and successfully purchased proton.
Similar to geely acquisition of volvo, they mainly let proton continue their works. Geely proudly gave proton designs of their 3 car models. (3 models is a rumour).
Proton released the proton x70, which is the 吉利博越 (geely boyue), their best selling suv in China. Proton collaborated with geely in the conversion from left hand drive to right hand drive. Initially first 2000 units is cbu from China, followed by ckd manufacturing in proton assembly lines.
2 years later proton launched the x50, which is the 吉利斌越 geely binyue or geely coolray (sold in Philippines).
The x50 and x70 is a major turning stone and for the first time in decades proton is turning in profit. With quality being monitored by geely, the car performed very well.
It is our sincere hope as malaysians that proton will continue to improve their quality.
Also, proton is improving their other models with new knowhows and knowledge sharing provided by geely and volvo.
Thank you for this information❤️
China brand and manufacturing in Malaysia....
I have been using Proton Wira 2004 generation passed by my parents and it is the most robust car I have used. Low centre of gravity and very stable. 17 years later, it is still going strong.
Salam good afternoon to my former prime minister have done very good job in industrial that is proton car manufacturing i am Malaysian ws respect him very much the world is looking at him
walaupun org kata Tun mcm2 tua nyanyuk mengarutlah dalam dunia politik tapi tidak pun cita2 dia untuk majukan negara tiada tandingan dengan mana2 ahli politik yg kata bagai nak rak tapi pencapaian xsebesar apa yg dah dilakukan seperti Tun. tiada siapa yg boleh jadi seperti dia. kita cita2 nak majukan diri je. tapi dia lebih dari tu. mampukah anda?
The reason why Proton have some Honda "styling" is because of a collaboration effort done by the two companies.
"Collaboration". Proton's Perdana (D segment) is part of a fleet agreement with with the Government of Malaysia. Based on a Misubishi model, it was ageing and sunsetted. But Proton needs a Perdana to be supplied to the government. So they took the precious generation Accord and rebadged it. Wholesale. And the next revision saw the model reskinned but basically an old Accord underneath.
"Collaboration" explained.
@@wongcw08 i still dont understand why it didnt sell that well considering how the inside is just one generation previous than the new accord
The company is now partly owned by geely(owns Volvo too btw) So from now on, this partnership will be the base of all proton models.
Haha. When we saw the new logo reveal, we all say it looks like the Thundercats logo. XD
Haha
Yes right bro..when I was young always watching thundercat..now I'm 45 year old..haha thanks admin.
Its actually a tiger
Lu ni buat malu orang Malaysia je
@@stanleywong8494 diam la

The reason some of us love Proton is because its not just a car it is a lifestyle ..ie Today its cheap run about the next day its a race car just adjusting its Campro Vvt engine buy useing a laptop ...if you want more info try google Proton R3 Motorsport ....Fyi thier race cars are very small ie The Saga(A sedan thats smaller than a Mitsubishi Mirage ) that comes with a small 1.3L with 98hp + 120nm R3dept managed to squeeze 208hp +232nm and lets not forget the Iriz (a Hatchback the size of a Honda Fit) it fitted with the same 1.3L as the Saga but its main powerplant is NA 1.6L that produce 109hp + 156nm that bump up to 230hp +250nm . These two cars were built fo the annual 1000KM Indurance race at Malaysia's Sepang International Circuit .....its crazy seing small Proton's beat the hell out of Honda Jazz ,Integra and City and Toyota Yaris sedan , Yaris Hatch and Mazda's 2 sedan ....oh it is sick how Proton tunes thier cars ...and all these without a Turbo ...
👍👍👍
That is awesome! We will check it out!
tq bro,please after pandemic come to our country🇲🇾😊...we glad to if u come here❤️❤️❤️

Dr Mahathir were malaysia prime minister back then when he started proton in 1981 ... he resigned after 20+ yrs as our PM and guess what, he became PM again at the age of 92 recently.. hes a living legend. Tun Dr Mahathir..
Living long enough to see the country burning to ashes from the fire he lit as PM.
We have to give credit to dr.m, without him it may have not existed
hahahaha... sampah!
@@aidilskndrr biarkan tu. Lahir untk jdi bodoh. Menyampah org sampah sendiri. Dia nak tunjuk hero sgt ada peluang, pegi bantu pesakit covid tu semua. Kalau tk mmpu duk diam belajar

@@aidilskndrr tak ramai sedar kebodohan dirinya sendiri. Macam pengundi PH la. Mana tau kena kencing dengan Mahathir sampai Mahathir kencing untuk kali ke 2 berturut-turut.
@@anaszolkefli2349 jadi proton ni sampah lah sbb mahathir yg bagi cadangan
FYI... the old person that speaks malay is 4th and 7th prime minister of Malaysia... His age is 97 years old
Love your reactions bro..❤️❤️❤️from Malaysia
I still have the 1990 Proton model with a little light on the front grill logo. It still works until today and so does the Blaupunkt unit inside!
Helloo Texas..thanks for learning abt Proton..my first ever car I bought when I first started working...i went on to own a lotus elise
That is awesome!
Proton was only a true car manufacturer in early 2000 with the production of Gen2 model fully designed inhouse after acquiring Lotus. Before that, Proton models were all rebadged Mitsu or Citroen cars with a little bit of restyling.
At the very beginning, proton partnered with mitsubishi hence the similarity in design and parts. At first it was a rebadge and slowly it became locally assembled at a 60% (locally) -40%(japan import) ratio, they ran through this system for all of the models within the partnership. Proton bought Lotus in 1996 where they produced one of the best handling cars (Satria GTI, GTI R3, Satria Neo etc). in 2017 proton (lotus included) sold part of their shares to Geely. The fact that Geely owns Volvo, Proton models like the x70, x50 and future models will now equipped with better tech.
lotus is still part of proton. but now proton is cooperating with geely. companies under geely are now proton, volvo, lotus and other brands. and they are now producing new technology, and some have been marketed. among the latest products from proton is X70, X50....and proton also have R3 division
My Favourite Proton is the Iriz 1.6L hatchback .....it the most versatile Platform proton ever created
And also the Fire breathing Iriz R5 rally car with 350ps+ 430nm power
@@nicholasgraygonsalvez1665 yess agree
@@LIMA-om6wiit just bothers me that most people in the US have never seen a Proton but they know it exists ......well cant be helped even own people are ready to put them down .....
Thanks for that info! We are going to take a look at that!
i am proud Malaysian, actually besides PROTON we do have second brand too it calls PERODUA cooperates with DAIHATSU japan
Do perodua.,its another malaysian car brand
Thanks for reacting to our national car maker :)
❤️
Haha that's my ex boss Mr Roslan Abdullah doing the Proton X50 introduction video.. he was formerly the COO of Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd (where I used to work) before the DRB group assigned him to take over as Proton Holdings CEO
This lotus edition had billstein suspension,ap racing brake system, some carbon fibre body kit and intake bank... R3 tuned cam,ecu, drivetrain and ect....i love the design of this car
Me too! They don't make cars like they use to. Especially with the compact hatchbacks. -Phezz
Proton X50 reveal dialogue was like they were taking a MUET Speaking Test😂
Kahkahkah
Greetings from Malaysia
Hey there! -Miles
In 2017, close to half of Proton shares were bought over by a mega automobile company from Cina called Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. The new model which you saw is actually a rebadged version of Geely car. Of course with a little bit of tweaks in the design. Before that For a few years Proton were losing billions ringgit. Back in the 90’s and early 2000 Proton used to be a household name in Malaysia. But it was quickly surpassed by Perodua with its Myvi.

Chinese Holdings
It's not a Malaysian car company , but used to be government owned . Now it is owned by Chinese company after acquired the majority stage from government national corporation last year.
Geely only own 49%
You can see some of proton cars on WRC games.
Tun M took Malaysia to another level .. not just economically but in international affairs even when the west condemned his strong criticism .. many countries leaders called him a leader of the third world
The LOGO is a tiger ( harimau ) ... Tiger is the national symbol of malaysia.. our soccer team called HARIMAU MALAYA .. so the the logo resemble a tiger ...
The taxes on cars is pretty high in Malaysia. If the X50 were to be sold in tbe US, it would cost something like $22,000 for the top trim with 175 horsepower.
I was from Malaysia And I love Proton X50 Proton Saga R3
Was?
17:43
3 is overkill
X70 : i have 4 USB in front row 6 in total
Dr Mahathir was a Prime Minister of Malaysia in 1985 AND he also a Prime Minister of Malaysia in 2018 at the age of 93....
As of date i had owned 2 Proton cars in my life, the 2011 Saga FL and the 2007 WAJA Campro. Still have the Waja as its the bigger car.
Imagine Proton trickled down the Lotus Engineering and Performance tech into their ordinary daily car tho
At the very beginning, proton partnered with mitsubishi hence the similarity in design and parts. At first it was a rebadge and slowly it became locally assembled at a 60% (locally) -40%(japan import) ratio, they♥️♥️

Suggest you all to find proton satria neo s2000 on rally
This video is showcasing Proton during its heyday. It almost closed down if not for the government pumping in cash to keep it afloat. When the government could no longer bail it out year after year Proton was allowed to look for foreign partnership.
The Malaysian flag star has 14 spikes representing the 13 states and 1 federal territory.
YES!!! come, visit us and enjoy the stay. after the pandemic ofc :D

Glad you made it!
Please react to perodua too. It is also a car brand from Malaysia
ruclips.net/video/5J6oJlgpGTA/видео.html
China brand and manufacturing in Malaysia
There will more to come from Proton...they have access to leverage Volvo-Geely Tech as well they can provide Ride & Handling into Geely's own models....Proton downfall was due to bad management and political factors which make them very slow to grow as compared to Hyundai-Kia group....there are pros and cons of this situation but still our local talents may leverage the knowledge transfer among Geely group of companies...just my cents...
Everybody is gangster until perodua produce myvi
Do perodua next please!!
You guys should watch Proton Satria Neo Vs Honda Civic

Lotus Racing not Lotus itself owned by AirAsia boss Tony Fernandes if not mistaken (sorry bad english). Proton Waja/Impian the first car that proton design (not rebadged)
look like Thunder Cat same as i thought
The Malayan tiger is a ubiquitous national icon for Malaysia. depicted in the Coat of Arms of Malaysia, the nation. Malaysia's first national car, PROTON, has adopted the abstract tiger-head as its emblem and badge-mark for its cars.
Proton Holdings is now managed by China owned automotive company, Geely Auto Group who bought 49% of their shareholdings and 100% of the shares in Lotus Cars.
