Petaling Jaya, 5 August 2021 – Honda Malaysia (or the Company) reiterates its full support  for the Malaysian Government’s efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19 by adhering to the  Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) since it was imposed in March 2020. The Company  has closed its business operations comprising Honda Malaysia’s plant in Pegoh, Melaka, sales  office and dealer showrooms since June 2021 to comply with the implementation of Full  Movement Control Order (FMCO) by the Government due to the drastic rise in COVID-19  cases.  

During this period, the after-sales services are allowed to operate at dealerships nationwide  with minimal manpower and only selected after-sales services are available by appointment.  To ensure the process is with minimum contact and easier for customers, the HondaTouch  application enables customers to make their appointment through a more systematic  approach.
