On display now at Proton's Alami event in Malaysia, the pickup looks very American and has hints of Ford's F-150 Raptor truck.

The head of design, Azlan Othman, explained the motivation to create such a pickup was because its Proton Wira based pickup, the Arena, did well in Australia. And since it made money, there was no reason to not look at that segment again.

 

If this pickup does turn into a reality, it would be one of the rarer pickups that is front-wheel driven and has a monocoque chassis.

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
