Proton X50 to come standard with Touch ‘n Go RFID in new mobility partnership
Deputy Chief Executive Officer of PRO-NET, Zhang Qiang (left) and Touch 'n Go Chief Executive Officer, Praba Sangarajoo PROTON has entered into a strategic partnership with Touch 'n Go Sdn. Bhd. to equip every unit of its newly launched Proton X50 with built-in RFID technology. The collaboration, formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), marks a major step forward in Malaysia's push towards a more connected mobility ecosystem. Under the agreement, each Proton X50 will roll off the production line already fitted with a Touch 'n Go RFID tag. This integration will give drivers immediate access to Malaysia's growing network of RFID-enabled highways, eliminating the need for separate installation and promising greater convenience for motorists. Touch 'n Go Chief Executive Officer, Praba Sangarajoo (left) and Deputy Chief Executive Officer of PRO-NET, Zhang Qiang The MoU signing took place at Proton's Centre of Excellence headquarters in Shah Alam. Proton Edar was represented by Deputy Chief Executive Officer Zhang Qiang, while Touch 'n Go Sdn. Bhd. was represented by its Chief Executive Officer, Praba Sangarajoo. Witnesses included Ong Chee Wooi, Head of Sales at Proton Edar, and Jarrod Wong, Sales Director at Touch 'n Go. Touch 'n Go described the initiative as a way of delivering instant convenience to customers, allowing them to drive away from the showroom with RFID capability already activated. The company highlighted the collaboration as a partnership between two homegrown Malaysian brands, aimed at making everyday mobility more seamless, faster and intuitive for the public. The Proton X50, launched on 24 July, has been met with strong demand, recording 2,000 deliveries within just three weeks of its unveiling. The model features a redesigned exterior and interior, advanced connectivity features, and a 1.5-litre i-GT turbocharged engine. It also holds the position of market leader in the B-segment SUV category. Proton confirmed that this is the first time one of its models has been equipped with a Touch 'n Go RFID tag as standard across all variants. The company also indicated that the collaboration could be extended to other models in the future, broadening the availability of the technology across its line-up.

Masidi rubbishes Shafie's claim over RM1 billion bond
Published on: Thursday, August 14, 2025 Published on: Thu, Aug 14, 2025 Text Size: Masidi (left) also dismissed Shafie's (right) earlier claim that the bond's full repayment in 2019 was an extraordinary achievement of the Warisan administration, calling it 'misleading' and 'contrary to documented facts.' Kota Kinabalu: State Finance Minister Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun rubbished Parti Warisan President Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal's allegation that RM500 million from the State Government's RM1 billion bond proceeds was spent in another state, describing the claim as 'both unfounded and irresponsible.' 'Such a serious claim, made without a shred of credible evidence, misleads the public and undermines trust in the State's financial management,' said Masidi in a statement, Wednesday. Citing official records, Masidi said the RM1 billion State Government of Sabah Bonds (2014/2019) proceeds were used entirely for Sabah's purposes – RM544 million to repay the first State Government bond issued in 2009 and RM456 million to finance State development projects under the approved 2014 State Budget. He also dismissed Shafie's earlier claim that the bond's full repayment in 2019 was an extraordinary achievement of the Warisan administration, calling it 'misleading' and 'contrary to documented facts.' He said Shafie's Aug 12 statement gave the public the false impression that the RM1 billion repayment was pulled off within a single year through the Warisan government's financial acumen. 'The facts tell a different story. When the RM1 billion bond was issued in December 2014, Bank Negara Malaysia required the State Government to establish a dedicated Sinking Fund to ensure full repayment upon maturity,' he explained. Under this safeguard, RM200 million was to be set aside annually over five years so that repayment would not become a sudden financial burden, regardless of which party held office. Records show contributions to the Sinking Fund were made according to schedule: RM2 million in 2016 (tabled in 2015), RM200 million in 2017 (tabled in 2016), RM400 million in 2018 (tabled in 2017) and RM380 million in 2019 (tabled in 2018). The remaining RM18 million came from interest earned on the fund's investments. 'The claim that Warisan had to 'find' RM600 million in a matter of months ignores reality. The payment schedule had been designed since 2014 and the necessary funds were already budgeted as part of the State's multi-year financial planning,' stressed Masidi. He pointed out that during Warisan's tenure, the only bond repayment allocation tabled was RM380 million in 2019, an obligation that would have been fulfilled by any government in office at the time. Masidi emphasised that repaying the bond on schedule was a legal and contractual obligation, not an optional act of goodwill. 'The financial discipline and structure that enabled this repayment were put in place in 2014, not in 2018. Public discussion on State finances must be anchored in documented facts, not selective figures or politically convenient narratives. 'The people of Sabah deserve nothing less,' he said. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
