Just something from a week ago.
Tuesday 23rd August 2016. For the first time ever I stepped into the Perodua showroom at its factory in Rawang, Selangor.
This factory is just about 7-8 km away from my house in Bandar Sungai Buaya. I have been into its premise a few times before but never into the showroom.
What made me go into the showroom this time was because I had my parents in tow...
It was the last day of their visit and stay at my house and before they returned home to Muar I thought why not let them have a look at the Perodua factory since it is so close to my house.
For those who has been living on Mars and such Perodua is the second national carmaker of Malaysia. Seen here is the 1st model, their very first Kancil which rolled out of the nearby assembly line in 1994.
This is the 500,000 Kancil which came out I don't know when, perhaps 4-5 years later.
The 1,000,000th Kancil...
Then there are the much later models which came out after the year 2000 if not mistaken...
Actually my father was considering whether to get the latest model Bezza which came out middle this year or the earlier model Alza which has been around the last 2 years or so.
Upon arriving at the showroom he said he was reminded of a visit made to the BMW showroom at its main factory in Germany some time earlier this year. Or was it last year?
My youngest sister's husband is with BMW Malaysia. But for the last 2 years or so he has been stationed at the head office in Germany. So my parents tagged along when my sister who is a medical doctor in Johor Bahru brought their kids to join the husband for a holiday there...
