Johor ruler Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar drove Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, both of whom share a passion for cars, to the Senai International Airport this evening in a first generation Proton Saga.
According to an official from the Prime Minister's Office, this is after the premier had an audience with Sultan Ibrahim at the Istana Bukit Serene in Johor Baharu.
Meanwhile, Bernama reported that the blue Proton Saga, with the number plate “Proton 1”, was gifted to Sultan Ibrahim's late father Sultan Iskandar in 1985 during Mahathir's first tenure as prime minister.
The premier was also the architect of the national car project.
Mahathir arrived at the Senai International Airport in a special aircraft at 3.30pm and was greeted by Johor Menteri Besar Osman Sapian, state executive councillors and Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA) chief executive Ismail Ibrahim.
