        Correct. Oppo has lower branding than Apple but sells far more volume due to their cheap phones. When ask anyone which they prefer, 99.99% will prefers iphones. The same with our 2 local car brands.

    21% brand value decrease is quite significant.

    Most probably came from the significant recent “unlike” from a big portion of motorcyclists in Malaysia because of you know what.

    Petronas needs to rebuild the trust with motorcyclists in Malaysia.
