MKN Motorsports Sdn Bhd is pitching for APs to import hybrid cars like the Toyota Harrier Hybrid and the Toyota Alphard Hybrid into Malaysia.
MKN Motorsports currently imports luxury cars and sells them at their newly opened Sales Service and Spareparts centre worth RM10 million in Damansara Damai, Selangor. It does not hold Open APs, but instead buys them from Open AP holders. It is also an authorised distributor for Ssangyong vehicles.
“I know that the Government has long stopped issuing open APs but hopefully, I will get the opportunity to bring in a type of vehicle which is relatively new in the country but is fuel-efficient. Hybrid cars are something really good for the consumers given the high fuel prices nowadays. They are already a hit in Thailand,” said MKN Motorports CEO Syed Azniputra Syed Abdullah to reporters at the launch of their 3S centre.

good move, hopefully some hybrid can be in malaysia…………depend on the price…..it might be selling like hot cakes!!!
Yeah,finally a hybrid in BolehLand. I sure if to minimise the use of imported fuel in 2010 beter start from now on. well maybe we finally see a honda hybrid but at a rocket sky high price THAT people will FORCED TO BUY LOCAL CARS!
still need AP to bring in cars… so whats next in 4 years time when APs is "abolished"? a free-for-all import or there's another form of import restrictions like "import permit"???
cheaper hybrid car? how knows if there is any special tax on it cause less petrol consumed per year.
Why not? The G could give these type of cars a tax cut like they give to the so called 'green diesel' model. Aren't these the type of cars that the Green Peace love? Environmentally friendly so they were called. If the G cannot give a special lower tax for such cars, I doubt it will sell that well. Who would be able to buy it? Heh.
