KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA), which has revised downwards its vehicle sales forecast by 5.6% to 500,000 units this year, is projecting a tough second half for the industry as businesses continue to be affected by the ongoing nationwide movement restrictions.

MAA president Datuk Aishah Ahmad (pic below) said another downward revision to its 2021 forecast would be inevitable if automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and dealers are continued to be barred from operating.
