Berita Harian Ford Focus Test Drive

Berita Harian has reviewed the Ford Focus 1.8 and 2.0. It’s in Bahasa Melayu though. Suitable for Merdeka Day consumption :P

Berita Harian noted that the interior is similiar to the Volvo S40’s interior design. Not suprising actually, with both cars being actually based on the same platform.

No more APs for Wald

MITI has stopped the issue of APs for the Wald marque based on reports of non- compliance with import regulations by the local importer Amazing Tempo Sdn. Bhd.

Amazing Tempo Sdn Bhd is owned by Tunku Datuk Zainol Tengku Izham and Ramzia Arshad, who were allocated 2,025 APs this year.

The Wald cars imported into Malaysia are basically tuned Toyota and Volkswagen models.

I wonder what that ‘non-compliance’ is.
