TIME is ticking and there is a lot to be done. The Malaysian automobile industry, long cradled by protectionist measures, is seeing imminent liberalisation creeping up over the horizon and there is a lot that needs to be corrected and strengthened before the car companies and vendors get set for an open environment.
“Malaysian Automobile Association (MAA) members would like to see liberalisation brought forward with certainty so that they and their principals would be able to strategise future plans,” says the association's president Datuk Aishah Ahmad.
