The Tg Malim Proton City plant is one high tech car manufacturing plant. This, I believe, is one reason VW was interested to JV with Proton, to produce and make VW models here (not just assemble).
But Proton is not selling enuf in volume to make it really profitable... Local market is saturated with protons and its recurring infamous QC issues has prompted existing owners to ditch the brand and to 'look East'...

These comments were released in business news on the recent "idea" floated for a Proton/Perodua merger...:
“Proton has ample capacity to spare as its Tanjung Malim plant has not been fully utilised since it was built,” said an analyst.
“Perodua’s expansion in adding capacity has been prudent and tracks the rise in sales the car company has been etching over the past years.”
According to Malaysian Automotive Association president Datuk Aishah Ahmad, Proton’s Shah Alam plant is operating at 54% of capacity while its factory in Tanjung Malim is functioning at just 42% of capacity. Aishah said UMW Toyota Motor unit Assembly Services Sdn Bhd was operating at 215% production capacity, Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd at 202%, Nissan vehicle assembler Tan Chong Motor Sdn Bhd at 143%, and Perodua at 164%.
‘’Most plants are operating at more than 100% capacity. If you are already full there’s no need to consolidate,” Aishah said in a report last week.
