    Well, although the pandemic has almost ended, the automotive industry is now struggling with another issue, and that's the shortage of semiconductors. As a result, the carmakers are not able to meet their demand levels. In light of this global concern, it is forecasted that vehicle sales in Malaysia will be slow for the rest of 2022.

    Furthermore, the soon-to-be-ended sales and services tax (SST) rebate might impact the numbers. However, some buyers may want to take advantage of the ongoing exemption and contribute to ramping up the June sales, predicts UMW Toyota.
