Yes, there has been zero car sales from all car brands since the recent elections results were announced. We have meet with a number of leading car brands and some of them are still having good showroom activity, others have fallen silent as Malaysians are walking away without signing the booking form as they wait for the abolishment of GST……which moves each car purchase price.
