Several weeks back there were a few friendly urges by fellow Malaysians to name a car after the Malaysian car, Proton, founder; Tun Dr. Mahathir, the former prime minister of Malaysia being the man. The name 'Proton Mahathir' was suggested. The justification was that other cars were also named after their founders, like Toyota, Honda, Ford, etc.
Well, I just can’t help laughing of the consequences of naming the car Proton Mahathir! You know, like someone might say Mahathir has a good pick up, and the face of the man itself may come up in our mind for a while. One might think, “Why he is 80 years old!
Or one’s utterance of “ My Mahathir broke down” may make someone feel sorry for him, “Poor Mahathir!”
Mahathir himself may die of shame if someone were to say he saw Mahathir emitting blackish smoke! Or, like riding a Mahathir was bumpy!
No sir, better don’t name any car after Mahathir! Give the man some respite, will ya! Ha ha!
