Datuk Seri Azmin Ali told the Lower House during Question Time that this was due to the unintended economic consequences triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic that saw Malaysia go into a partial lockdown under the movement control order from March 18 to May 4. “April saw only 141 units being sold when compared to March which registered 22,478 units being sold. Following the government’s decision to reopen some economic sectors beginning May 4, the number of vehicle sales rose with a TIV of 22,960 in May.
On the sale of motorcycles, Azmin said 19,507 units were sold in May this year and a further 42,190 units in June, following zero sales in April.
