COVID-19 Coronavirus Update - Official Statement by Perodua

I have published below the official statement by Perodua President and CEO Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad as regards Perodua operations during the Movement Control Order period which was recently announced by the Government of Malaysia. Basically since all non-essential services aside from food supplies, medical, banking facilities, most government and private offices are instructed to close from tomorrow, the 18th of March to the 31st of March 2020 in order to slow down the COVID-19 pandemic. So most of Perodua's operations at their facilities have been suspended.

This is the same with other car and also commercial vehicle manufacturers throughout Malaysia. So do take note. Your car servicing can wait, as lives matter. And if you really need a car since you car has broken down, there are still other options as this isn't a curfew and there would still be transport for hire available. But it is better to not travel during this time if possible.

Stay safe people, and practice social distancing for the moment. It is for the best as you may be healthy even after being infected, but the people around you may be more affected than you.

Statement by the President and CEO of Perodua

Following the Movement Control Order imposed recently by the Malaysian government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that has gripped the nation, Perodua will suspend all operations at our head office, manufacturing facilities, sales and service centres as well as Body & Paint outlets nationwide, from 18-31 March 2020, or subject to any new announcement by the government from time to time.

Due to this, new vehicle deliveries, servicing and Body & Paint services are expected to resume only after the Movement Control Order is lifted.

Our related outlet personnel may contact customers during this period to provide explanation and

clarification. We ask for your patience and understanding during this time.

We hope all Malaysians will cooperate with this government directive and limit their movements as

much as possible to curb the spread of COVID-19.

If you experience any issues with your vehicle during this time, you may call Perodua Auto Assist toll-free, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 1-800-88-5555.
