Mr. Ravindran K, President, said “The safety of our employees, our stakeholders and all of our Customers is paramount to us. Based on direction from the government, despite the shutdown of our operations, we will continue to be available to our customers for any assistance they may require with regard to their Toyota and Lexus vehicles.”
Assembly Services Sdn. Bhd.’s manufacturing operations will also be suspended on 18 March onwards. At the moment, there are no plan for any specific manufacturing suspension outside Malaysia, resulting from the situation in Malaysia.
