Anti-haze air-conditioning: Only two car manufacturers offer it in Malaysia

Malaysia’s almost annual battle with haze is becoming especially severe this year. Several locations in Penang and Sarawak have already recorded API (Air Pollution Index) readings of over 200 (very unhealthy). The reading in Kuching is inching closer to the hazardous level of 300. Haze is contributed by microscopic size particulate matter (PM) pollutants measuring no more than 2.5 micrometers. Ordinary air filters are ineffective against PM 2.5 pollutants, which is why the public are advised to

How to survive a car crash? Don't be stupid with your seatbelts

Have you ever come across kids jumping at the backseat of a car, while you’re stopped at a red light? This is one of my biggest driving pet peeves, people not wearing seatbelts whilst travelling in their cars. We have seen countless times, crashes on the road that have resulted in people getting flung out of their cars. Why? Plain and simple, they weren’t wearing their seatbelts. How can something so intrinsically simple to do become such a widely-ignored habit? Sadly, it’s down to both ignoranc

这款惊艳的电动车将在新加坡生产,Hyundai的这个决定与马来西亚有何联系?

这个月的早些时候,Hyundai在新加坡Jurong的电动车工厂开始动工,工厂的年产量达30,000辆,总投资RM 12.2亿。2022年建成后,Hyundai汽车全球创新中心(HMGICs)将成为Hyundai汽车集团(包括Kia在内)在东盟地区内的电动车研发中心。 每年在这里生产的30,000辆电动车中,大约会有5,000到6,000辆在新加坡销售,剩下的则都会出口。 这个决定有些出人意料,因为高工资成本的新加坡并不是制造业的首选之地,新加坡上一次制造汽车已经是1980年的事情了。这里没有任何汽车制造的行业基础,也没有任何已经成型的供应基地和能够管理汽车工厂的人才。 新加坡的这座工厂是Hyundai计划在东盟地区建立的两座工厂之一,Hyundai也正在计划投入RM 64亿,在印度尼西亚建立一座年产量达250,000辆的工厂,这个计划将于明年启动。 更出人意料的是,Hyundai汽车拥有Inokom在Kulim的工厂15%的股份,但这家韩国汽车制造商却决定忽略马来西亚,选择了新加坡和印度尼西亚,这似乎有些冷落大马了。 Hyundai还没宣布会在新加坡生产哪个车型,不过他们已经表示,I

Malaysians pay over RM 10 billion in car taxes every year. How did we end up like this?

Malaysia is known for having one of the world’s highest taxes on cars. Sales of new cars and spare parts for motor vehicles are the single largest contributor in import and excise duties collection, eclipsing tobacco and alcohol products. How much taxes do car sales contribute to the Malaysian government? The government doesn’t provide a breakdown of its tax collection by industry, but it is safe to estimate that the automotive sector contributes well over RM 10 billion in taxes every year. So i
