Datuk Aishah Said , Malaysia did not need another national car as the local automotive industry had already developed compared to when Proton was introduced.

According to her none of the other Asean countries have national cars and pointed to Thailand and Indonesia in particular both of which are doing well.  

When asked on Proton’s collaboration with an Indonesian partner to produce the Asean car Datuk Aishah said manufacturers needed to ensure that the the model produced will be accepted by all member countries.

It is also important to ensure Indonesian car manufacturers support the idea of an Asean model to avoid any export restrictions by the country.
