Yes. Rice cooker national last time lasted for so long. Nowadays sikit sikit rosak.

Wanna hear something funny. My grandfather's house ha d alot of old stuff. One of the few was those old grandfather clock which u need to wind. Lasted I think 60 or 70 years d in the house. Some antiaue collector came and offer to buy him a brand new shiny battery clock so he exchanged. Therr was this green colour ceramic vase with dragon embossed on it. Made in china one. He bought when he was younger, I think 1913 or 1914, the fella bought for rm15. Gosh all the antiques he sold for cheap. Grrrr....i feel like the fella cheated him only

My National table fan bought in 1996 still running. Anyway why couldn't v jus stay in 1959? Our grandparents & parents really had it those days, even though living simply.

My nationa kipas from 1990 still functioning. My national wasing machine 30 years back workinf but became too noisy for modern living. National microwave 20 years still working. Sanyo rice cooker 35 years working. Sanyo oven 35 years working well.
As a comparison, free gift elba steamer, 1 year sharp rosak.

Lol at Ben Hur and James Bond Goldfinger ads. Seem like our pipul back then was very strong iman not easy confuse.

Save 1k piap one time... Ok la

peti sejuk nasional bought @ 1993 still working like a charm today.

Those who Knows.. Rip Enggeris

1959 malaysia more power than singapore south korea etc etc

National quality is really top notch though.

Long lasting is no longer an attractive selling point nowadays.

New technology coming out every few years. Especially more efficient and more energy savings.

Your old national fridge might still work for you today, but it's draining power like hell. Have you ever thought that changing to a new one, you can balik modal in one year?

Same goes for your old national air con.

legendary appliances brand

Besides appliance quality. Just from the picture alone tells a lot about country unity and lifestyle of the past.

You get single signboards that has 3 languages on them. You don't get those now. You get mat salleh sounding shop names last time. You don't get those now. What you get are malay people with mat salleh sounding names. (How is that for evolution!?)

U better change it, its using alot more power than current fridges, it will cost u hundreds of ringgit more electric per year

You laugh at your grandfather but your colleagues laugh at you 😂

my colleagues y le...

Still alive and kickin..
