KUALA LUMPUR: Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd has delivered 16 units of the Civic 1.8S to Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry (KPDNHEP), marking its first fleet of vehicle from the Japanese marque.
Managing director and chief executive officer Toichi Ishiyama said the company was honoured that KPDNHEP had chosen the Civic as its preferred car in accomplishing its tasks and duties.
"We are also appreciative of the ministry's crucial role in promoting and sustaining domestic trade in Malaysia, which is important as we are still facing challenges to boost the Malaysian economy which was greatly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic," Ishiyama said in a statement today.
