2nd August 2008, Shah Alam – KDI Team makes a visit to the Proton Technology Week – The Journey Through Technology that full of excitement. We arrived on 3PM at Shah Alam Proton Factory (Kilang Proton Shah Alam) near the Proton Main Showroom and Office. Four of us tried to get the best and exclusive information about Proton and its technologies just for KDI readers.
The first attraction on the visits is about the stage show and competition. There are a lot of competition that you can join and get a chance to win great prizes such as Sony Playstation and Ipod Nano. Editor Azameel tried his luck to win that sony PSP but he is not lucky enough =p.
On that stage is the 3 millionth car produced by proton that is the new saga. Wow! Its already 3 million car produced by proton!
