Hello.

You're tuned into Cruise Control, the car show on BFM 89.9. I'm Haniff Baharuddin.

Together with me is our automotive expert, Daniel Fernandez from dsf.my. How are, how are you doing, Daniel?

Doing very well and, you know, after a short holiday yesterday, I think it's good to come back to work.

Yes.

[laughs] All right, um, so, okay, we have a slightly, um, different show this week.

Uh, it'll be in two parts in conjunction, uh, with the Merdeka week.

Uh, we're going to talk about the car industry post-Merdeka and, um, before the arrival of our Malaysian brands, um, Proton and Perodua.

But before that, let's head to the news.
