MY OPINION:


Rust Blisters issues "built in" in Proton from 1993 to 1996.  The culprit: SALTY glue used in Welding spots.  Apparently, this issue started since 1988 and NOTHING's Been done to solve this issue during his tenure.  In fact, ALL PROTONS made from 1993-1994 have THIS RUST ISSUE.  This issue's SOLVED Finally in 1999 as Proton make from 1999 onwards reportedly have NO RUST ISSUES.  In short, this is a CLOSE ONE EYE MD which take ZERO Action to address the RUST Issue.  That's why I said this Chairman deserved the Boot.
