Despite being sold to China’s Geely, Proton still has Malaysians at heart!
Hours ago (1 June), Proton made an announcement on their official Facebook page that surprised fellow netizens. Seeing how Malaysians are coming together to save the country, the company has also decided to help contribute to Tabung Harapan Malaysia to reduce our nation’s debt.

Here’s what’s written in the post.
“In light of recent developments in the country and the togetherness of its people, PROTON, in support of Tabung Harapan Malaysia has pledged RM10 from every Proton car purchase to be donated to the government fund.
“As a caring national corporate organisation, PROTON feels the need to come forward to provide additional assistance towards this worthy cause, for the country and the people of Malaysia. This initiative will take effect from 1 June 2018 to 31 December 2018.”

This announcement received mixed reactions from social media users. Some felt that the RM10 donation per car sale is too little while others reckoned that it’s the thought that counts. Whether it’s RM10 or RM100, it’s still money right?
At the time of writing, Tabung Harapan Malaysia has collected over RM18 million in just two days! Impressive! If you want to support in the rebuilding of Malaysia, here’s the official account number – 566010626452 (Maybank).
