Several years ago, I attended a meeting with Terengganu State Economic Planning Unit at Kuala Terengganu. At that point of time Terengganu State Government was lead by PAS. We were welcome by them as if we were VVIPs. Gladly and proudly so, we were chauffered driven later to Dungun, from Dungun to Kemaman with two Mercedes Benz State Official cars, its written “Kerajaan Negeri Terengganu” at the registration number. It was a non-issue then.
If the Government feels so much about the use of Proton Perdana for Government officials, they should extend the use of our national car to welcome Kings, Presidents and Prime Ministers of the many foreign countries visiting us. Do not bother welcoming them with Mercedes or BMWs.
As we all know, the British will use the Rolls or the Jag, the Americans, the Lincolns, the Koreans, Hyundai when welcoming foreign VVIPs, we should follow suit with the Greatest Car of All Time in Malaysia, the Proton Perdana.
It is one of the best marketing tool for our national car. Tell them the Perdana is 10 years old model which we facelifted from time to time, the technology, engine, chassis, engineering is 20 years old which we bought from Mitsubishi. Common sense tell everyone if the model can last this long, it must be really good. We then compare our Proton to BMW 5 series before the current facelift. Sure sell one. Having said that a house mate once said, "Get yourself a car, not a hip". At the moment my Perdana look like a Hip.
