In this Malaysia Day special, we step back into history to rediscover Malaysia's automotive scene. From Ford's early investments into colonial Malaya in 1926, to the rise of Japanese cars in a post-Merdeka Malaysia, and the twists and turns of our national carmaker(s), we find out more about Malaysia's lengthy journey towards industrialization via the automobile.
