hope its not removed again.

*update* yup not able to put paultan's link...
here's the article:

Last week, the government announced that it would make electronic stability control (ESC) a compulsory fitment on all new vehicles in Malaysia by June 2018. Perodua has now revealed how its vehicles will be affected by the news.

“We (Perodua) have already introduced the system (ESC) in the Bezza, which was designed for it. For our other current models (Myvi, Alza and Axia), they are not designed to be equipped with it. We can’t merely install (the system) in a model that is not designed for it,” said company president and CEO Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh.

However, Aminar said Perodua welcomed any move to improve safety, and at the same time, will have to look into the development and costs of equipping their vehicles with the safety net.

“At this time, allow us to first discuss the matter with the government because it is currently in the early stages. There are many things that have not been discussed in this regard. Only then can we plan our next steps,” he said.

As current Perodua models (except for the Bezza) are not fitted with ESC, could Perodua be planning to introduce all-new models before the planned implementation of the legislation?

When asked if the carmaker had such plans or any new model launches scheduled for next year, Aminar apologised and said he could not reveal any details. However, he said the company has plans to refresh its (current) models to hit its sales targets, although details on potential all-new models were not given.

it will cost a lot to install all the new system, and i also don't think its possible to install, might need to replace a lot of things. braking system really is not good.
too late already.. hehe.. don't worry, just enjoy ur current car first, after another 2 years' facelift, maybe you can get 1.3L + ABS + EBD + BA + keyless entry + side mirror sensor + cruise control + remote start + build in potent booster Axia ... that time ur axia will be old dy, and u can buy new one liao.

nowadays our car industry is very competitive, u see last time facelift usually its just change the looks, like bumpers, head light, tail lights.  nowadays' facelift u even have ENGINE upgrade!!!!!

this year they will come with vvti engine fr bezza engine    plus push start button

any news when this will come out?

Trade in is the best solution.   

Anyone here still  pump ron 97?? Hehehe

Cannot understand why pump RON97. If the engine is not designed for higher octane, you are just wasting your money. Yes you may get better mileage using higher octane but it is not because of more octane. Depends on other factor.

Read about all these here:

Totally agree with u.. Some ppl never pump RON 97, simply condemn saying no difference n waste money.. If I want to pump RON 97, it's my own money... Why so kepoh??
I also saw a few new Axia on the roads in PJ and KL.. Mostly those VH until VL number plates all still old Axia.. Pity those ppl that go n buy Axia few months old then come out new version.. If  for me, like get cheated

i haven't done a ron97 experiment myself, (being a cheapskate myself i never planned to do it too ).

there are many claims that using ron97 is more efficient and gives better mile age, but, so far none of the people provide any solid data to prove it. many of the people claimed they use ron97 that got themselves better mile age, but then saying they are giving around 11-12km/l .. which is worst mile age you can get from an old kelisa.

paul tan org's team had done 2 experiments. by using VW polo sedan.. and lately with the latest saga, and both come out the same result. ron97 uses more fuel. ron95 saves a little bit.

if i remember correctly, the manual recommend to use ron95 and above. yes you could use ron97 too.. but, i think the recommendation is for certain market like indonesia, where they have ron88, ron87, and the one we all used to have ron92, etc.. where they are octane lower than 95. (since this engine is marketed in indonesia too)

i'm not saying everyone must use ron95 too, it is each individual's choice. just that i don't some how able to understand the claim that ron97 gives better mile age than ron95.
