SAIC Malaysia welcomes 39 MG certified technicians

SAIC Motor Malaysia has announced the graduation of 39 MG Certified Technicians, who are now equipped to deliver aftersales service across the country.

The company says that the ‘rigorous’ training programme, which was designed for both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicle (EV) technologies, was conducted in partnership with a local experienced trainer and academy. The syllabus and modules were sourced from overseas markets where SAIC operates.

In the past month, SAIC Motor invited its Malaysian division to participate in global training initiatives, resulting in the certification of local technicians for models such as the MG4 and ZS in Shanghai and the MG5 and HS in Thailand. “The hands-on training encompassed practical skills essential for servicing and repairing the most advanced MG vehicles globally,” the company said in a statement, adding that the batch of graduates includes two female technicians.

“Looking ahead, we are committed to sending these technicians for more in-depth specialised training that will cover key areas such as EV and high-voltage battery technology, as well as continuous skill upgrades from Junior Tech to Master Tech,” SAIC Motor Malaysia added.

“Training and service are vital aspects of customer experience, especially as we embrace the rise of electromobility in Malaysia. We are dedicated to building a skilled workforce that not only meets but exceeds customer expectations. Our commitment to providing high-quality aftersales support will instill confidence in our customers as they transition to MG’s innovative vehicle lineup,” said Emory QiFeng, MD of SAIC Motor Malaysia.

SAIC Motor Malaysia recently announced the opening of four new MG dealerships (Klang, Muar, Skudai, Balakong) to bring the total to 15 outlets nationwide. The company launched the MG5 earlier this month, a Civic-sized sedan with typical B-segment pricing (RM86,900) and powertrain (1.5L NA CVT).
