MALAYSIA, Iran and Turkey plan to build an "Islamic car" fitted with a
compass to find the direction of Mecca, and a compartment to keep the
Koran in, the Malaysian state news agency said.
Malaysian automaker Proton's managing director Syed Zainal Abidin Syed
Mohamed Tahir said during a visit to Tehran that the vehicle would be
aimed at the global export market.
"We will identify a car that we can develop to be produced in
Malaysia, Iran or Turkey," he told the Bernama agency in a weekend
report.
"The car will have all the Islamic features and should be meant for
export purposes," he said, adding that it would feature a compartment
for keeping the Muslim holy book the Koran, and prayer scarves.
