49%,means those Incumbant still sit as Chairman,CEO,CFO, MD & GM,inside Proton Factory alot of Corruptions,i wonder how the Chinese can fight them.

if Proton had already own the lotus for so many years, what makes Geely think they can do better in turning things around? Unless this venture is just to do a hit and run. Go in, check out the tech and straegy of Lotus, go and mix and match and make the geely-volution a better product.

Else Proton just save on the Volvo R&D and just repackage the Proton as a Volvo badge and u have a V40 saga, S60 wira .. slap on a badge and make the Malaysia police force use it. I think not too bad a trade off then the Honda Accord perdana version

while thats true, its a death sentence in china if caught. Unlike some other countries.

That is a good move by Geely to capture SEA.

Their news cars are so much better than those found in Singapore. 

One of the most important is to obtain Lotus, that will help Geely.

Proton is use as the base of manufacturing Geely right hand drive.

The first vehicle is a SUV.    

Sell out of Malaysia to the chinks continues...

Geely main aim isn't really to aquire Proton but Lotus light weight material engineering to meet future strict gas emissions. Hard truth is nobody's interested in Proton.

Yes is one of Geely aim. They need to have a place to manufacture right hand drive car and penetrate SEA market.
