Following yesterday’s announcement by Sime Darby Berhad to acquire 61.2 percent of UMW Holdings for RM 3.57 billion, it’s still business as usual at UMW Toyota Motor (and Perodua) this morning, but there is clearly a sense of uncertainty among employees.

Tekan tekan preggy?), and practical – but these are also the merits of the 2015 - 2022 Honda HR-V (RU-series). You can snag one of these now for anywhere between RM 65,000 to RM 110,000, depending on year of manufacture, mileage, and variant. It's still competitive, smack in the middle of most new B-SUV's p
