Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim

PUTRAJAYA: Electric vehicles (EVs) are set to serve as the official cars for ASEAN leaders attending state events when Malaysia chairs Asean next year, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (pic).

He said, therefore, the government would strive to secure as many EVs as possible.

"Interesting that Cabinet decided recently, (all this time) everywhere we go, heads of government will get huge Mercedes.

"What happens now, we think if we are serious about sustainability and energy transition, let us showcase it in Malaysia; all cars to be provided for heads of government, ministers, officials will be only EV cars," he said.
