Perodua Suspends All Operations From 18th March Onwards – Until End of Movement Restriction

Malaysian automotive heavyweight Perodua has, after great consideration & deliberation, released a statement today announcing its compliance with Government directives to help curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus that is sweeping the globe.

               In a statement issued by President & CEO Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad, Perodua is to cease all activities at its head office, manufacturing facilities, sales & service centres, as well as body & paint outlets across the country between the 18^th of March 2020 until the 31^st of March 2020, “subject to any new announcements made by the Government from time to time.”

               “Due to this,” Dato’ Zainal said, “new vehicle deliveries, servicing, and Body & Paint services are expected to resume only after the Movement Control Order is lifted.” Dato’ Zainal continued by saying that related outlet personnel may be in touch with affected customers during this period, to provide more detailed & clear explanation of how Perodua is complying with the Movement Control Order.

               “We hope all Malaysians will cooperate with this Government directive, and limit their movements as much as possible to curb the spread of COVID-19.”

               It has not been clarified however if Perodua will offer any leniency on warranty coverage should affected customers with new, warrantied cars be forced to miss their scheduled service as a result of the Movement Control Order, which is a question several of our #MalaysianMotorists have asked us.
