GEORGE TOWN: All 15 official vehicles for Penang's state executive councillors and ex-officio members have been replaced with the latest Toyota Camry model.
Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the new fleet, costing RM3.311mil in total, was delivered in March.
"The cars were delivered to 10 executive councillors and three ex-officio members: the state secretary, the deputy chief minister, and the state legal adviser, as well as the state assembly speaker and deputy speaker.
"On average, each car cost RM220,783," he said at the state assembly on Tuesday (May 20).
Chow noted that the previous vehicles, also Toyota Camrys, had been in service for over five years.
The new ninth-generation Toyota Camry features a completely redesigned interior, refreshed exterior styling, and comes exclusively with hybrid powertrains.
This marks a shift from the previous 2018–2024 models, which offered both petrol and hybrid options.
