Proton to launch integrated tyre services

The Sun23-05-2025
Proton is set to introduce integrated tyre services at selected authorised service centres across Malaysia following a strategic collaboration with Continental Malaysia. The move reflects Proton's ongoing commitment to enhancing customer convenience and delivering a more seamless vehicle ownership experience.
Through this partnership, Proton service centres will be transformed into comprehensive one-stop hubs, offering tyre sales, professional installation, and after-sales support. These services will be delivered in cooperation with Continental Malaysia, one of the world's leading tyre manufacturers. By the end of December 2025, the company expects to roll out these offerings at 60 outlets nationwide, covering owners of all current Proton models.
As part of this initiative, customers will be able to purchase and install new tyres during routine maintenance appointments. Prices will begin at RM211 per unit for models such as the Proton Saga. All tyres offered will be newly manufactured to ensure maximum safety, reliability, and performance, with installation carried out by Proton-certified technicians to uphold consistent service standards.
The tyre service will also include Continental Malaysia's Total Confidence Plan (TCP), a one-year road hazard warranty that provides a one-to-one replacement in the event of unexpected damage. For added affordability, customers will have access to flexible financing solutions via Direct Lending, enabling tyre purchases through manageable monthly instalments.
The introduction of tyre services comes as Proton continues to elevate its after-sales capabilities, striving to become the benchmark among original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in Malaysia. With an extensive network of 3S and 4S centres, professionally trained service personnel, and strategically located parts warehouses for rapid spares distribution, Proton has been reshaping the ownership journey for its customers.
Among the brand's other key after-sales offerings are the FS90 Fast Service, which guarantees basic servicing within 90 minutes from check-in to key return; the ProCare Smart Plan (PSP), a maintenance programme offering savings with flexible payment options; and the MyProton App, which streamlines service bookings and provides real-time vehicle updates. In addition, Proton provides a Digital Owner's Manual, comprehensive Body & Paint (B&P) services, and the Proton Insurance Programme (PIP), which offers specialised accident repair and insurance solutions using genuine parts and expert technicians.
Roslan Abdullah, Chief Executive Officer of Proton Edar, stated that while recent headlines have largely centred on the company's robust sales performance and new model introductions, Proton has also been investing heavily in upgrading its after-sales service. The introduction of tyre replacement marks the next phase in the transformation of its service centres into fully integrated one-stop facilities, reaffirming its mission to deliver a premium automotive experience to all Proton customers.
Currently, Proton operates over 173 service centres and 73 Body & Paint facilities nationwide. Its 24-hour customer assistance hotline, available at 1-800-888-8398, ensures round-the-clock roadside support for added peace of mind.
Customers seeking further details on the new tyre services or looking to find participating service centres are encouraged to visit the official Proton website or contact their nearest authorised Proton outlet.

Universiti Teknologi Brunei ranks among top tech universities in Asean

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: Universiti Teknologi Brunei (UTB), a university focused on innovation through education and research, is now Brunei Darussalam's leading technological university. UTB is also committed to producing outstanding talent for a sustainable, global and enterprising society rooted in the Malay Islamic Monarchy (MIB) national philosophy to help achieve Brunei Vision 2035. UTB's commitment to achieving Brunei Vision 2035 was highlighted by the university's Vice-Chancellor Datin Paduka Professor Dr Zohrah Sulaiman (pic), in her remarks as the guest of honour at the UTB-MIC Computing Degree Programmes and BriCOMP certificate presentation ceremony on Thursday (July 18). She highlighted that UTB is ranked among the top nine technology and engineering universities in Asean by the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings 2026. The university also debuted in the prestigious Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2025, securing a position among the top 801-1000 institutions worldwide and ranking among the 23 universities in Asean. She described this as an impressive accomplishment that reflects UTB's strong focus on academic excellence and innovation. The vice-chancellor also shared a list of the top 15 highest-paying jobs in the world for 2025, which included artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning engineer at number three, data scientist at number four, blockchain developer at number five, investment banker at number seven, cybersecurity specialist at number eight, cloud engineer at number 10, marketing manager at number 11 and management consultant at number 14. She explained that 'tech-centric growth fields like AI, cloud computing, and cybersecurity dominate. You may be wondering whether the ones listed above apply to the global markets. They do, and it means that UTB and MIC are preparing you for the world.' She continued, 'We are proud of our accredited programmes. The School of Computing and Informatics has attained accreditation from the British Computer Society (BCS) for all its undergraduate programmes, as well as dual partial accreditation for our Master of Science (By Coursework) in Computing and Information Systems.' BCS accreditation, she added, 'is recognised in more than 200 countries, which means you can work anywhere with a BCS-certified degree.' She also highlighted that the UTB School of Business' undergraduate programmes are accredited by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). EFMD accreditation indicates that a business school has met the organisation's rigorous standards for teaching and research quality, and that its degrees are recognised as credible by employers and other stakeholders. In addition, she said, 'UTB also offers modules to develop soft skills, such as effective communication, entrepreneurship, and ethics.' The university also has facilities to support a passion for information technology, AI and machine learning. 'The Huawei Academy provides industrial training on-site, and the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AiML) Hub is an innovation hub that supports AI talent through education, training, research, and innovation.' – Borneo Bulletin/ANN
