4 Malaysian Car Cameos in Pop Culture

Malaysians generally love seeing all things Malaysian in pop culture. That’s why, when we see Malaysian stuff on TV or in a movie, we love to talk about it. We love describing everything about Malaysia to people in other countries; the good and the bad. Here are a few instances of Malaysian cars making cameos in pop culture.

#4 Mr Bean’s Golf Ball and the Proton Saga

The Proton Saga appearing in a Mr Bean episode, even if it was only for a few minutes is notable in its own right. Mr Bean fumbles his way along a golf game and comes across the Proton Saga. Who knew that the Proton Saga could play golf too?
