It is with deep regret that we announce the postponement of the inaugural paultan.org Auto Car Expo (ACE) to March 27 to 28, 2021, due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak.
The team at Driven Communications has been monitoring the situation in Malaysia and were initially adamant that we would go ahead with the event this month. Unfortunately, with the situation taking a turn for the worse over the last two weeks, the management team has decided not to take the risk of organising a large public event – one that was targeted to draw over 20,000 visitors over two days – during this critical period.
“As the event organiser, balancing the welfare of visitors and exhibitors is a tremendous responsibility, and holding a major event which is open to the public and promotes interaction in close proximity would not be the right thing to do at the present time,” said executive director Harvinder Singh Sidhu.
“We at Driven Communications have collectively decided that it is best to err on the side of caution at this time to help contain the spread of the virus in the country.”
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience that this may have caused, and we look forward to making ACE 2021 a bigger success. Stay tuned for more information on the next event.

If a an auto expo that expects to draw in 10,000 visitors a day is postponed, then why are malls, places of worship, restaurants and other public places which see 10 or 20 times more foot traffic still open?
we also don’t see auto showrooms being closed.
If millions of people can understand why, doss that make you stupid?
Everybody has to do their part here. PT/Driven is doing their part to curb the spread, and that is already a good move. Until a global lockdown/armageddon is declared, it all comes to humanity-business-economics-politics for those that are still in operation. Life has to go on, mouths have to be filled. This pandemic is a long battle to fight… Just keep hands clean always, and minimize touching your eyes, dig your nose and suck ur fingers. Take care all….
Better just canceled
