Speaking to Kompas, Rully Septiadi, the Head of Marketing for Proton Edar Indonesia said that Proton will not be participating in the motor show. In addition to that, he said that the X70 won’t be introduced in Indonesia in the near future.

Steven Xu, the Director of International Sales for Proton said that Proton will not exit the Indonesian market and abandon their loyal customers.
