for now,no need for lotus rnh badge cuz all malaysian engineers are trained and worked under lotus before come back to work in proton,even some still working in lotus. equipments,softwares n methods are the same. even tested in lotus track worked with some lotus engineers.so,not much diff. eventhough proton is parent co for lotus,they still need to pay for the badge,so,it is cost associate.

but they might used the badge if they want to sell it outside,just for marketing purpose,but they have to bear the cost. for example,preve.

mr rashid musa isnt entirely wrong,but they have to pay lotus for the badge. for example,preve,it was tout as proton ride n handling 1st, now wearing lotus rnh. well,preve rnh was under syammim's team which is local,and of course as sop,will be tested in lotus tracks. and syammim n his team were ex lotus as usual.

it just that it isnt as usual like waja,perdana,gen2,neo,old persona which for last calibration will be handed to lotus. during that time,the spearhead is under ym tgku azizan,which is n still the master of the dark art for proton. (many still under training at lotus during that time,n some still residents engineer at lotus. )

now its proton engineers do all the works here n hethel,plus some help from lotus engineers. if i still can remember some videos of preve or iriz at sweden, there was mat salleh who was driving the car.

but for now,its mat din n geng time.
