In the hot seats to turn Proton around


The tough get going: Fuaad (right) and Radzaif striding confidently into arguably among the toughest jobs in corporate Malaysia in their task to turn around the national car company.

Proton Holdings Bhd has appointed two top guns from DRB-Hicom Bhd, Datuk Ahmad Fuaad Kenali as chief executive officer and Datuk Radzaif Mohamed as deputy chief executive officer, to helm the national car company that has an endless list of issues. The two have literally landed themselves in the hottest seats in town. In the first interview since taking over the jobs, the two spoke to WONG CHUN WAI about their tasks ahead.

Congratulations on your appointments at Proton Holdings. Proton has been the most talked-about subject recently. With the Malaysian public having an emotional attachment to Proton and watching closely, do you believe that the turnaround of Proton can be successful?
