The idea of a flying car has been around for a very long time, and Malaysia will attempt to create just such a vehicle. According to minister of entrepreneur development Datuk Seri Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof, a prototype is set to be unveiled to the public this year, Bernama and New Strait Times report.
“This year is a realistic target because we have the technology already. It is all about speed of implementation,” said Redzuan. The minister stated that plans for a prototype are already ready, and it would cost just over RM1 million to build, although it’s up to the private sector whether they want to do so.
“We will use local capabilities to build the flying car. We will only refer to foreign parties when it comes to exchanging information over the car’s safety,” he noted. The car is said to be capable of flying safely at low altitudes at a reasonable speed, and is targeted for use in the agriculture and aerospace sector, among others.
“We are providing the catalyst and ecosystem to stimulate the people to think beyond what we are capable of doing today,” he added. The project will also draw upon the capabilities of the aerospace, drone, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and automotive sectors.
Keep in mind that the flying car project is separate from the third national car project that was presented by prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. “Malaysia has the skill set to excel in all these fields. We need to make full use of it, because the bottom line is we want to be a producing nation,” Redzuan said.

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments are largely skeptical and humorous, questioning the feasibility of Malaysia unveiling a flying car prototype this year. Many point out the scientific challenges, like power-to-weight ratios and energy sources, suggesting such technology is still in the realm of science fiction. Several comments mock the project as a waste of funds, criticize government spending, and joke about corruption and mismanagement related to the initiative. There's a mix of sarcasm, ridicule, and disbelief, with some viewers doubting the seriousness, comparing it to April Fool's jokes, and joking about other absurd implications like flying taxis and regulations. Overall, the sentiment is overwhelmingly doubtful and dismissive towards the flying car project, viewing it as unrealistic and a potential financial misstep.
