Syed Zainal tried to buy the Proton share before purchase by DRB-HICOM. Rumour has it that Syed Zainal and his team tried to purchase the Proton share at a higher price but failed.

With DRB-HICOM, he will not have much control like now, and he is not willing to sacrifice is work discipline, therefore resignation is the only way.

Hope the new management of Proton will drive Proton forward and not like previous management where using same chassis for a very long time...

Never had any good regards for proton (previous proton user also don't bash please). But I must say that after this guy joined Proton, there are many significant changes that were brought about. He has really brought proton to the next level. This is such a loss. But maybe it is a good thing for him as he deserves a break. From the moment he joined Proton until now, I have observed that he is losing weight gradually. Not a strange thing either as I can imagine this is not an easy corporation to manage. Too many strings attached to too many cronies.

Well done Dato!
