“The initiatives that are put in place have resulted in us gaining confidence from investors and the market. Many have decided to invest in a dealership because they have witnessed the positive developments at PROTON. They see PROTON as a solid brand and are willing to partner with us. Brand perception has also shifted and this is evident from our increasing sales,” said Proton CEO Dr Li Chunrong.
Year-to-date, sales in East Malaysia saw a growth of 31%, whilst for Sabah, the increase was 39%, compared to the same period last year with the Saga remaining the popular choice in the state.
