Chow responded that the government could have decided on a better time to replace his official car. He told The Star: “I take note of all the views and I would like to clarify that we followed the proper administrative process before purchasing the car. “But as the chief minister, if there is an offended party who

先前，马来西亚国际贸易及工业部（MITI）发布了一份可以在行动管制令（MCO）实施期间运营的行业名单，其中包含了修车厂和汽车工厂。不过，就在几天前，MITI又公布了一份名单，将汽车工厂从基本经济服务行业中除名了。 这个突如其来的消息，意味着在Penang、Johor、Selangor、Melaka、KL、Putrajaya和Labuan等重新实施MCO地区的汽车工厂，在管制令生效时都将停工。 对Proton来说，Proton X50是在Proton Tanjung Malim工厂生产的，所以理论上，生产不会受到影响。不过，Proton的供应商大多位于Selangor和Penang，而如果供应商无法供应零部件，Proton仍旧是无法恢复生产的。 大马Honda的Honda City、Jazz\BR-V、HR-V、Civic、CR-V和Accord，都是在Melaka的工厂生产的，而他们肯定面临着停工。
