The government has published updated regulations for the distribution sector as part of stricter protocols for the third movement control order being enforced starting today. The new measures are aimed at curbing a worrying spike in new COVID-19 infections in the country, which hit a staggering 7,289 cases today.
While most economic sectors will be allowed to continue operating, there are some tighter restrictions that will affect a number of industries, including the automotive industry. Car dealerships can remain open, but only those that offer sales, servicing and spare parts (3S and 4S). They will also not be allowed to conduct test drives in order to protect customers and sales staff.
The ministry of domestic trade and industry (KPDNHEP) continued to urge companies to conduct business activities either online or on an appointment basis. As previously reported, operating hours have been shortened to 8:00 am to 8:00 pm starting today until the lifting of the order, currently slated for June 7.

Syukur kjaan berjaya , ekonomi negara kukuh…
how come car showrooms can open when millions of locals faced inefficient booking system for AstraZeneca. Pffttt
Brr! Cool story. Meanwhile over 1 million Malaysian disagrees with this comment
AstraZeneca booking have nothing to do with this car showroom topic.
Kluster Test-drive
Langkah kerajaan ketatkan PKP 3.0 merupakan tindakan paling tepat bagi mengimbangi isu kesihatan dan ekonomi.. Tengkiu gomen perihatin & bertanggungjawab… Sejuk hati rakyat marhein
Would anyone buy a new car, witout “test driving” it?
Heck, even buying a 2nd hand car would warrant a test drive, right?.
Hmmmm, I supposed buying a car now is akin buying a bunch of kangkung at wet-market.
Local economy is back on track. 9Year car loan is normal.
Most who bought Perodua cars don’t care to test drive them otherwise they would have picked another car if driving feel is an important criteria on their buying choice. Buying online only saves them the hassle.
Last time in 2015, my parents bought a new Axia. They did not test drive. To them, if not Axia, what else to buy for less than RM35k and is hatchback.
What about used car dealers?
I think their business will collapse if no test drive is allowed.Used cars need to be driven at least a short distance to give the buyer a raw feel at least how good or bad the car is.
THe condition should be..during non rainy days..2 windows 50 percent open to allow fresh air in.The buyer test drive,while the salesman sit behind..all with face masks and shields.Does this make more sense?
Buy rekon Ford Mustang & Toyota Vellphard hitam..wear full PPE.
Movement is restricted, don’t buy car now lor. Park it at showroom / dealer and keep your money first. Gov allow them to open so the sales ppl still got job, not expecting buyers to go buy Ya.
such a small enclosed area in the face ,wear on face how many layer also risk …
Yes that makes sense. but unfortunately, this government doesn’t believe in implementing sensible policies.
I propose a strict 2 week lock down. What they are doing now is not helping anyone and is only prolonging the misery! It’s been almost a year, and we are even worst off than we were before.
Now with vaccination on full swing, strict lockdown no longer necessary as current lockdown is already sufficient to stop spread of Covid.
It’s easy for people to say impose a 2 weeks lockdown when there are still hundreds and thousands of Malaysians barely able to keep food on their tables with their current salaries. Doing that again would crush them.
Syukur caring gomen Malaysians takputus makanan.. Tengkiu pemimpin terulung.
#KeepCalm&SyukurON
salesman gonna say…our car goes vrooommmmm faster than ferrari bro
Rakyat treated like beggars chasing vaksin.. Rakyat have full confidence in how things are being run. syabas kjaan berjaya!
Meanwhile 10% of rakyat scheduled for vaccination choose to no go. Rakyat got treated like bcuz rakyat want to be choosy in which vaccine they want. In countries with higher vaccination rate, the rakyat there not allowed to be so choosy and even not told which vaccine they got. Here rakyat stubborn want high keras expensip vaccine but complain about slow uptake. Ini semua salah rakyat being too choozy.
Rakyat must THINK about SAFETY FIRST and take any vaccine being given. Stop being choozy!!!! THINK SAFETY FIRST!!!
Can do if there is agreement you can return your car in 7 days if you are not satisfied. Better to buy car from lazada then.
If some ppl mau test drive, wants gaya driving new car……..and willing contracting COVID19 in the process…….just let them be.
Please dont cry father-cry mother when hospitalised.
