Perodua, Maybank Islamic unveil agility financing
Perodua president and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad. — Bernama KUALA LUMPUR: Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) and Maybank Islamic Bhd have partnered to provide the country's first syariah-compliant agility financing plan, the Perodua flexiplan, powered by Maybank Islamic myimpact drive financing-i. The plan allows customers to enjoy a highly competitive murabahah vehicle term financing deal which leads to a more affordable monthly payment over an initial five-year term. 'Perodua will buy back the customer's vehicle at a competitive price compared with market value for the purchase of a new Perodua model, subject to terms and conditions,' it said in a joint statement yesterday. Additionally, there is flexibility in ownership where customers may trade-in freely for a new model or keep the current vehicle with a revised payment plan. Customers may choose between four models under the Perodua flexiplan, namely the Myvi, Axia (excluding Axia E), Ativa, and Aruz. 'In the fifth year of the plan, customers have the option to trade-in their current Perodua vehicle for a new one. The secured residual value can be used to offset the down payment, effectively renewing the five-year term,' it said. Alternatively, customers may choose to keep their current vehicle by settling the outstanding balance or extending the financing for up to four additional years under a revised payment plan. 'Perodua and Maybank Islamic are breaking new ground as we join forces to offer the best possible financing package – one that ensures a win for everyone,' said Perodua president and chief executive officer (CEO) Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad. According to Maybank community and financial services group CEO Syed Ahmad Taufik Albar, the group is committed to empowering its customers with flexible, transparent, inclusive, and sustainable financial solutions, and the Maybank Islamic myimpact drive financing-i reflects its values-based approach to banking. —Bernama

Dr Zaliha: Malaysia Promotes CHASE City Vision For Sustainable ASEANUrban Development
GENERAL KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 12 (Bernama) -- Malaysia today called on ASEAN nations to adopt an integrated urban planning approach, which balances environmental stewardship, social well-being, and economic competitiveness through the CHASE City framework. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa said that the framework, introduced in the Federal Territories, envisions cities that are Clean, Healthy, Advanced, Safe and Eco-friendly, offering a flexible model adaptable to the diverse realities of ASEAN cities. 'It is within this context of interconnected challenges that Malaysia has sought to define a guiding vision, one that is practical in implementation, yet adaptable to diverse circumstances across ASEAN. 'This is not a collection of separate agendas, but an integrated philosophy that guides urban policy, design and governance, in a holistic way,' she said. She said this in her speech at the ASEAN Sustainable Urbanisation Forum (ASUF), ASEAN Governors and Mayors Forum (AGMF) and the Meeting of Governors and Mayors of ASEAN Capitals (MGMAC) 2025, at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), here, today. Dr Zaliha said that the CHASE City framework aligns with ASEAN's urban priorities, as it enables collaboration between government, business, academia and civil society, to create sustainable, liveable cities. She cited the Kota MADANI development in Putrajaya as a tangible manifestation of the framework, incorporating low-carbon solutions, AI-driven smart technologies, active and safe mobility, green networks and community facilities. The minister also highlighted Malaysia's membership in the Davos Baukultur Alliance, making it the first country outside Europe to join the global coalition. 'This membership reflects our belief that cities are more than functional spaces. They are cultural and social ecosystems whose physical form should strengthen identity, foster inclusion and inspire pride among residents,' she said.
