Another record six months for Perodua, with the national carmaker announcing that it has sold a whopping 121,800 vehicles in the first half of 2019. That figure represents a four percent increase over the 117,100 vehicles that left dealer lots during the same period last year.
This means that against the total industry volume (TIV), which grew 2.4% to 296,800 units, the company managed to secure a 41.1% market share, up 0.7% from the year before. Perodua puts the strong performance down to the sustained healthy demand for all its models.
Evidence of this comes from president and chief executive officer Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad, who said that the company also recorded 190,765 bookings, an increase of more than three percent over the 184,949 orders it received in 2018. It’s no surprise, then, that Perodua is rising its full-year sales target by some 4,000 units to 235,000 units, which would make for yet another record year.
However, the company is being cautiously optimistic for the second half of the year, noting that the three-month period between the abolishment of the goods and services tax (GST) and the implementation of the sales and services tax (SST) had a big role to play in last year’s stellar performance.
“We should remember that last year there was a big incentive for consumers to buy cars with the tax holiday, which was announced after the outcome of the country’s 14th general election,” said Zainal, adding that the tax break was merely a one-off occurrence that consumers and automotive players took advantage of.
“With this in mind, we believe that the second half of the year will not be as healthy as what was recorded last year. The momentum of the first half is likely to [be reduced] in the second half,” he said. As such, Perodua expects the full-year TIV to remain at 600,000 units – even as it raises its own target.
On the bright side, Zainal was encouraged by measures introduced by the Central Bank of Malaysia (BNM) to promote spending. “There is good news in the market as the central bank has reduced the overnight policy rate, which will help promote consumer spending.”
Fuuhh! Perodua kereta rakya Malaysia..
Syabas Perodua! What a successful national carmaker. Thank you for making game changing cars for us.
Perodua has been paying billions each year to LHDN as company tax for the past 20 years.
That money has been used by our Government to build berpuluh schools and hospitals for us all.
No need bailout. No need lifeline. Perodua workers work hard to bring the rakyat of Malaysia so much of benefits.
Proton is wasting our money for bailouts but unfortunately until today, Proton is still a game over company. I hope Proton can learn from Perodua how to make game changing cars so that Proton sales will increase and no need any game over bailouts anymore.
No more doubt on Perodua game changing quality anymore. All Perodua cars have been proven and well-tested thanks to Toyota quality and it’s reliable engine. Lucky that we don’t get a game over engine from Perodua unlike Proton Campro.
Everybody in the car industry confirmed car prices going higher because Government cannot sustain the exemptions and tax subsidies given MAINLY to SPANCO and Proton.

“The bulk of the excise duty exemption was for EEVs and fleet management service provider SPANCO’s vehicles, and these totaled RM3.862 billion, or 94.3%, of all approved exemptions during the three-year timeframe.”
Tak habis habis Proton needs protection. Even Government ordered Protons also need protection.
How much of protection can we give to Proton all this while??
If there were no Government ordered Protons, I think YTD sales will be 20k
Perodua should be known as the only National Car now … no longer “kedua”
Pipu buy p2 coz it is cheap not because it is good
Last 15 yrs when the bandit was in power,not many schools n hospitals were built.Most of the tax ringgit went into the Joe Low n botak scam show.Billions were paid out to shady companies.
And those shenanigans in Lth, Felda, Ltat.
Proton sales in 2018 was 60k. This year up 80k,
Yeahhhh bravoooo perodua yessshhhhh. Basher manyak jeles kuat jeles bash bash saja pandai. Shakap manyak pun tara guna. Perodua on top of mesia. Bravooo bravooo. Keep it up perodua.
All comments from the same troll. How more pathetic can it gets. Are there no real Malaysians that are proud of P2? People only buy P2 because it’s cheap, so nothing really to be proud of.
There are too many Malaysian that are proud of P2. Why worry dude? Dont get pathetic.
Many Malaysians buy selipar. They buy selipar all the time. Do they proud of their selipar? No. So what has Malaysians buying perodua cars have to do with being proud? Malaysians arent proud because they can only afford a perodua, just like why they arent proud of their selipar.
The average price of Perodua is RM50k, with a profit of approximately RM7.5k and a sales of 120,000 units in half a year. RM630m returned to the Japanese company, Perodua earned RM270m in the 1st half of the year.
The average price of Proton is RM80k, with a profit of approximately RM12k and a sales of 40,000 units in half a year. RM240m returned to the China Company, Proton earned RM240m in the 1st half of the year.
All profits went to UMW. Pls do not lie. UMW is the majority shareholder of Perodua. They own like 50% of the company.
UMW is a Malaysian company. Money for the rakyat of Malaysia comes back! Thank you Perodua
Proton X70 is fuly CBU. All profits go back to China. We make China richer!
UMW owns 38percent of perodua ,not 50℅.
Perodua is owned majority by Khazanah, PNB, EPF and UMW. This means it is a 100% Malaysian company as total ownership is more than 60%
Toyota Japan just own a small percentage/
Nuh uh. Daihatsu Tsusho owned 40% of Perodua shares, while Toyota owned 40% of UMW-Toyota venture, which equates to 60% of Perodua shares owned by Toyota and Daihatsu. Sorry dude, but @Axxx was right to call out this spade. Majority of profits earned by Perodua is repatriated back to Japan.
Whoever gets the biggest share in perodua deserves it because of the good job they are doing.
What is good with Proton taking money from the public while protected by the government but selling rubbish with poor customer service to the people?
Average Proton is RM80K? Hahaha, syoknya sendiri. From RM500 made from Saga to RM12K? Kalah Toyota, Kalah VW. hahahahaha.
Nobody care abt wat u said dude. Still p2 best selling car. P2 always on top for many years. Go get a life then bising-bising here show your hatred. Nobody care dude. P2 the best!
I don’t trust whatever Perodua says. On one hand they talk about safety but on the other they still continue selling Alza without ESC & TC. Nope. Untrustworthy bunch of liars just like our Ministers.
@Safety First: All their cars comes without a bloody temperature gauge – trust me, that blue/red idiot light without a proper gauge is actually a very dangerous feature where their engine could burned down if waiting the red idiot light lit up or perhaps doesn’t come out even when car overheat badly.
Did Perodua say they got ESC and TC in Alza? No. Unlike Proton putting Tether hook into test car while removing it in production cars. Also sending a specially made car for Ncap test when their Saga score 1 star.
thats a bold claim, care to back it up and risk getting sued?
Teether hooks only concerns usage of baby seats. Omission of ESC & TC will risk the lives of all the occupants whenever they use the Alza. Are you that daft to make such comparisons.
And don’t talk about others providing specially made car for NCAP testing when your Perodua had sent a nonexistent G-spec variant Aruz for MIROS NCAP test just to score that 5stars. In EURO NCAP test certification, their results would be rescinded, their cars will be published in the news for faking the test, and that model will be barred from retesting by EURO NCAP for next 2 years.
Were you born yesterday? Jangan malu malu.

No say? I see.
So did Perodua give letter of indemnity to Alza owners stating that preventable accidents, injuries, and deaths could have been avoided if their Alzas had came with VSC and Traction Control, but Perodua chose not to include these features and that owners are aware of the risks in buying Alza w/o these safety features?
If they hadn’t, that meant Perodua is proactively cheating and lying to their customers by not telling them the risks. If it were in US, Perodua can be sued in a class action lawsuit.
Do you even know how to read? I am guessing you don’t. So here are some pretty pictures showing nonexistent Aruz G-spec test results.
https://paultan.org/2019/01/17/perodua-aruz-suv-gets-5-star-asean-ncap-crash-safety-rating-impressive-total-score-of-86-49-points/
So what are the different in terms of safety of Aruz G spec and X & AV? Can you point out at least 1 safety feature that were removed from the test variant?
Its what you don’t see or what they didn’t declare, that can make a huge difference such as changes under the skin. Things like using a higher grade steel, extra weld spots, strengthened reinforcement. These can make a big difference in crash testing and Perodua could slyly claim that accidental Aruz cars found with lower standard materials aren’t the same as the tested G-spec Aruz. That is called cheating in the real world.
I hope the Proton fanboys don’t come here and laugh again.
Pls laugh at the end of the day when the Profit and Loss Account comes out at the end of the year.
Till today, Proton is still losing RM4 mil per day.
Perodua is making so much of money, every year, they contribute billions in company tax to LHDN which the Government uses to building Malaysia. 20 years now berturut turut Perodua been giving LHDN billions every year.
Proton has been given full tax exemptions the past 20 years and have not contributed 1 sen also to LHDN. Infact, rakyat have to pay over RM20 billion in bailouts to Proton to keep it alive.
So, don’t laugh at Perodua ya. Look into your own mirror
Well done. Sales of 235,000 is so commendable!
The truth is Perodua losing RM4mil per hour.
Q1 UMW Profit RM87mil
Q1 DRB Profit RM123mil
LCR reported in Q1 to board of directors this year will be turn to profit.
Lucky China took over Proton. If not for the Proton X70 sales, Proton total sales this year will be 30,000 cars YTD
compared to 235,000 Perodua sales
235,000 vs 30,000 – such a big difference.
We must thank
1) Li CHunrong
2) Geely
3) China
For all their kindness in giving us the Geely Boyue to rebadge
Hahaha! Whenever I want to feel happy, I just come here and read your delusions and lies. Keep it up mate!
So why are they so shy to tell us how much Aruz is sold up to date? Are they scared for us to find out that Proton X70 is still the market leader for SUVs?
This is Proton. Baru jual lebih sikit dari biasa yang selalunya sikit dah bangga semacam. Perodua market leader now rilek je.
Yelah. You ingat Proton macam ko punya perodua keluar satu saja model kereta dgn cukup alat keselamatan dah pegi heboh seluruh kampung yg dia jaguh keselamatan kereta? Proton jaguh sebenar dlm keselamatan goyang kaki rilek je ketawa pada budak hingusan perodua macam ko ni.
Are you the guy who got 800 likes in one posting alone? Still liking yourself?
And who are you? Yet another troll? Obvious troll is too obvious.
I see you have met Wilson Khoo, the resident basher with long comments :D
I see different people here sharing their own game changing opinions. The only game over dupes I see here is yours Wilson (Mario). Please keep this site a friendly place.
But your the same dude that claims Myvi is better than A Class & 1Series. Why should we even trust what you said?
Well look at the sales data. Look at the sudden surge in the press statements. Look at the sales trolls worming out of the woodworks. The results are obvious and speaks for itself.
Their sales is falling, their market share is falling. Their initial target this year was 280k so they are looking a shortfall of 45,000 cars already. That’s a disaster but they are trying to spin this in a positive way. If Perodua were a tradable company, savvy investors would keep their distance away from it.
Dear “Pisang & Jet Pejuang”,
Vehicle sales data in June 2019:-
1) Perodua 16000 units
2) Proton 7600 units
3) Honda 6100 units
4) Toyota 5800 units
5) Nissan 2000 units
Yes Axxx, Perodua game changing sales is 2X more than Proton. Thank you for your game changing sales data.
why not sales data listing based on monetary value RM instead of unit?
You think Proton can win in RM value?
Yes. Margins for X70 is so much higher as compared to all other P2 cars combined.
Yes thank u cos potong fan realize p2 owes top in selling vehicle every month and year. True true its like dear “pisang & jet pejuang” watever it is. Muahahaha.
47%! That’s like half, which is monopoly basically.
Vote wisely with your hard earned money guys, as most of us only buy/upgrade new car every few years just like our General Election every 4~5 years.
Remember, it is due to the very existence of Proton & Perodua that we are unable to enjoy better made foreign cars at half the price.
P2 trolls too excited until 41 turns into 47.
Finally orang ada akal.!
Well done P2! The best selling car in the world!
BTW, what are the cars P2 bosses are driving to work?
Any photos? Just wondering.
As like Syed Al Bukhari drives Proton Saga to work everyday.
Perodua=Toyota in disguise. It’s no wonder they sell well.
Proton=Who? China?
Geely better 101% take over Proton manufacturing, then it has a chance to be competitive again.
