When Rafidah Aziz said that she had written a letter to Tun after when the AP (Approved Permit) scandal got out having the drama queen shed tears, I wondered to myself the relevance of her actually writing a letter. If she really had nothing to hide, she could have just say it out to the media; but NO, she wrote a letter to Tun.

Today, the letter is out open to the Media, according to Tun, who will ‘leak’ it out in ‘installments’. Is this really necessary? The fact that Rafidah took Tun for granted claiming he is like a ‘Father’ took a twist and all I can say is she brought it onto herself. As cunning it was for Tun to coincidentally take this all out in the open while the Prime Minister and Rafidah herself are in South Africa right now, is simply ‘plausible’. I’m waiting to see her reaction once she gets back, because, as of now, she does not want to give any comments to the journalist abroad.

Proton is a national entity. Our national entity. It has created somewhat of an identity and I am sure, behind all the minor complaints of it not being well assembled (the Proton Gen-2’s ever popular windshield) it still remains an element of our nation’s progress. The fact that we have our cars for sale in Germany and Australia, is pretty good a deal to have trust over our national car. To allow indiscriminate ‘provision’ of APs is simply abysmal in the sense that, this people do not even ‘run the show’ according to the book. In a world of competitive economy, I believe, there should be protocol abiding and not ‘medieval age’ ways of running things.

With Mahaleel ‘dismissed’ as Proton C.E.O, I wonder who is going to take his place. I hope, it will be someone who will bring Proton back to the automotive economic arena. I trust it will, as shares shot up just with Mahaleel leaving the company. Let’s hope the future looks good for Proton.
