      Lemon Law: Why Don’t We Have It Yet?

      How is it that, even after all these years, an automotive lemon law is still not on the books in Malaysia? Even those who may not be paying particularly close attention to local automotive news might have noticed the increasingly regular instances of new cars breaking down in spectacular (and spectacularly expensive) ways. Rather predictably too, after every one of these incidents goes viral, there will undoubtedly be the question being bounced around online of: why don’t we have a lemon law yet? And frankly, it is a rather reasonable question to ask. Because even after years, and many, many…

      Malaysia Needs A Dedicated Automotive Ombudsman Right Now

      Though this dedicated automotive ombudsman really should only be a stopgap measure until a proper lemon law is introduced. For a while now, politicians have been promising to introduce a lemon law in Malaysia. But unfortunately, playing to the stereotype of politicians being all talk and no action, there has been precious little progress on that front to date. And in the meantime, it seems that hardly a week goes by without another social media post from a disgruntled new car owner, complaining about something that has gone horribly wrong with their supposedly brand-new ride. And no, this is not…

      Kia Carnival 2.2D 7-Seater Facelift Review: A Fantastic Family Bus

      It only remains to be seen if Kia could launch the hybrid version for an even more appealing proposition.  Now, here is the list of criticisms that this writer has with the Kia Carnival: The starter button is a bit small and located in a slightly obscure position for easy reach. The 12-speaker Bose surround sound system could be a touch richer-sounding, though that probably has something to do with having to pump all that sound through such a vast cabin. The lane keep assist needs to be turned off every time, and doing so requires a four-tap sequence on…
