It looks like the automotive industry in Malaysia has hit a slump, hungover from the car buying frenzy brought on by the Raya promos – after a strong showing in May, sales slowed significantly last month.
Data from the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) showed a total of just 42,526 vehicles that found homes in June 2019, representing a 30% decrease compared to the 60,780 sold in the previous month – a difference of 18,254 vehicles.
That figure is even bleaker when you compare it to the same period last year, in which 64,465 vehicles were sold – that’s a 34% drop, or 21,939 units. Much of that can be explained by the effective abolishment of the goods and services tax (GST) in 2018, but MAA also gave the Hari Raya Aidilfitri holidays and a shorter working month as reasons for the sales dip.
Just as Perodua was yesterday, the association had a cautiously optimistic outlook for this month’s sales, predicting a slightly higher figure compared to June. It cautioned, however, that it will be lower than the numbers from 2018, as an obvious result of the aforementioned “tax holiday”.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Everytime in Paultan sales article, we will see the game changing Perodua at No 1. It’s kinda funny to see a second national carmaker are always in No 1 while our first game over national carmaker are in No 2. So I suggest Perodua to change their brand name into game changing Pertama.
Perodua no 1
Many out there lost their job. And retails are also shrinking… given this kinda economy, it’s normal for ppl to avoid commitments like buying a new car. only thing not jive is the malaysia GDP + unemployment rate
Most important is Proton sales. With all the hype and hoo haa, Proton sales is just slightly more than last year YTD
This is because all the potential Persona and Exora owners migrated to buy Proton X70 instead of the Exora and Persona.
At the end of the day, Proton is still losing RM4 mil per day and only if they cross 200,000 YTD sales can they only break even. Not even profit but just break even
Tok kok ar? LCR reported to board of directors this year can make profit dy…
No wonder Perodua sales troll has so much time to troll the news postings of lately. Sales drop by 30%, habislah his incentive! No wonder he needs to troll more here just to survive.
Abolish GST mana? Sales drop, ekonomi koyak.
He is not qualified to even be P2 salesman because he can never stop telling lies and BS to customers’ faces. He is relegated to online trolling, where he can hide behind his dupes.
Obviously header pic, Proton X70 (driven by esteemed Friz) leading the SUV sales chart. Followed by CRV, XV then CX5. and maybe Aruz
Dear “Pisang & Jet Pejuang”,

1) Perodua 16000 units
2) Proton 7600 units
3) Honda 6100 units
4) Toyota 5800 units
5) Nissan 2000 units
Tak ada gambar kereta lain nak pakai ke? Asyik that same brown thing over and over again.
Because that is best selling SUV in Malaysia.
Luckily Paultan reports 30% drop for June Sales. What the heck is the 0.66 Variance by MAA..
Perodua superstitious only know 121800 rambutan sales make a lot of money. They dunno 43500 durian make more money than 121800 rambutan.
Perodua terhebat!
May 22k units, June 16k units, drop 30%
Proton x70 cant sell well. The price must drop to below RM70k only people will buy it.
Only sohai like u say X70 not sell well. 1st half year, X70 sales volume is the highest in Malaysia SUV market.
Better make it cheaper than a kapchai, then even more people will buy.
