Hot Wheels Proton Saga Special Edition is back, in conjunction with Saga's 40th anniversary

Malay Mail08-07-2025
KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 — Hot Wheels Proton Saga Special Edition is back again with some twists to differentiate the 2025 release from the original version that was released in last April. For one, the release features the white Proton Saga, which made its debut in October 2024 as part of the 2025 Hot Wheels Dash B (B Case) release.
Aside from that, the text on the back of the packaging is also slightly different, although it generally still honours Saw Jane Harn, who was the winner of Hot Wheels x Proton Kids Design Competition 2023. As part of the grand prize, Jane's hand-drawn artwork was turned into the Malaysia-exclusive design of the blister card for the Hot Wheels Proton Saga Special Edition, which was retained for this release.
However, the biggest differentiator would be the appearance of the Saga 40th Anniversary logo just next to the text. Hence, that is why this release is also known as the Hot Wheels Proton Saga 40th Anniversary Edition.
In terms of pricing, it is no different from any basic Hot Wheel models (also known as the Mainline model). You can get the model for around RM10 to RM11, depending on the retailer.
Given the nature of the model and its special edition packaging, it is likely going to be challenging to get your hands on the 2025 Hot Wheels Proton Saga Special Edition release at retail stores.
There is another way for you to get that Hot Wheels model though, which is by booking a Proton Saga during the Saga Weekend Event. The first round already took place last weekend, but there is another one coming later this week from 12 to 13 July.
Aside from the Hot Wheels model, customers can also enjoy cash rebates of RM2,000 for the Proton Saga. Take note that these offers are only available at selected Proton showrooms, so you might want to give them a call first before making your visit. — SoyaCincau

PH MPs demand review of Selangor parking scheme

The new parking scheme is set to be launched on Aug 1. (File pic) PETALING JAYA : The Pakatan Harapan parliamentarians representing the four constituencies involved in a proposed public car park privatisation scheme have urged the Selangor government to form an independent bipartisan committee to review the proposal. In a statement, Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung, Subang MP Wong Chen, Shah Alam MP Azli Yusof and Selayang MP William Leong said the committee should comprise elected representatives from Petaling Jaya, Selayang, Shah Alam and Subang, as well as relevant experts and civil society organisations. They also said the review should prioritise the needs of the communities they represent and the local councils involved, stressing that they were 'especially troubled' by the apparent prioritisation of private interests over the rights and welfare of their constituents and the local councils. The lawmakers also called for the scheme's Aug 1 launch to be postponed and for its commercial terms to be disclosed, including the projected profitability for the private company involved, state government investment arm Menteri Besar Incorporated, and the four local councils. They said that based on the limited information disclosed so far, the proposed privatisation of the Smart Intelligent Parking (SIP) system raised legal, commercial, and operational concerns. They also said the current revenue-sharing arrangement appeared 'unbalanced' and required further detailed disclosure. 'This call is made to ensure that PH's commitment to transparency and accountability is upheld in all matters of government contracts, including privatisation schemes – especially within our own PH-led state governments,' they said. They also said the state government's approach to privatise public parking lots in pursuit of higher revenue was not in line with the primary objective and function of local councils, which is to deliver 'democratic governance' and essential services to their communities. 'In this context, the role of local councils in managing public parking is to optimise parking use for the benefit of residents, businesses, and visitors by making parking accessible, easing congestion, and improving traffic flow. 'Residents and businesses already pay assessments and local taxes. The councils are therefore obligated to support local commerce and community vibrancy through convenient and affordable parking. 'The goal should not be profit maximisation but service to the public.' The parliamentarians also asked the state government and local councils to clarify whether the scheme received ministerial approval. They said this was because public parking lots fell under the jurisdiction of the transport ministry through the Road Transport Act 1987, which empowered local councils to manage and collect parking fees with the minister's approval. They said that the Act, and the relevant gazette orders, did not permit the privatisation of parking management or fee collection by local councils without ministerial approval. According to state executive councillor Ng Suee Lim, the concession for a 'smart parking system' covering collections of parking fees and enforcement would involve local councils, state-owned Rantaian Mesra Sdn Bhd and a private company. Ng said enforcement would be carried out by local council officers, with Rantaian Mesra to act as a system coordinator. The private company, which has yet to be appointed, will handle the four local councils' daily parking operations. He said Rantaian Mesra and the other company are expected to invest around RM200 million to develop the infrastructure for the smart parking system.

New Proton X50 attracts 5,000 bookings in just 10 days

The All-New Proton X50 has captured the attention of Malaysians nationwide, with 5,000 bookings recorded within just 10 days of opening its order books on 5 July. The overwhelming response follows a highly successful nationwide prelaunch tour that brought the new SUV to major city attractions, where eager onlookers turned up in droves for a glimpse of Proton's latest B-segment contender. According to Proton, one booking for the All-New X50 is received every three minutes. This impressive rate reflects a 50 per cent take-up of the early bird promotion, which offers a RM1,000 cash rebate, a special edition Touch 'n Go card, and an exclusive GEMPAK! Deal. These incentives are reserved for the first 10,000 customers, with only half of that number still available. The full pricing structure of the All-New X50 will be disclosed during its official launch event, scheduled for the evening of 24 July. Ahead of that, Proton has announced that public test drives will commence at showrooms nationwide from 19 July, giving potential buyers the opportunity to experience the vehicle's performance and features first-hand. Zhang Qiang, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Proton Edar, noted that the company is humbled by the extraordinary interest shown in the new model. He confirmed that production at the Tanjong Malim plant has been accelerated to meet the strong demand, with a target of delivering at least 5,000 units by the end of August. This strategic move is aimed at minimising the waiting period for customers post-launch. The All-New Proton X50 arrives with a raft of upgrades designed to appeal to drivers with active, modern lifestyles. The model features new exterior and interior styling, an enhanced Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), and a newly developed 1.5-litre turbocharged i-GT engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. This combination delivers 181PS and 290Nm of torque, enabling a 0–100 km/h sprint in just 7.6 seconds — an improvement of 0.3 seconds over its predecessor — while also achieving a 4.7 per cent boost in fuel efficiency. With the initial 5,000 bookings already snapped up and only 5,000 units remaining under the early bird campaign, prospective buyers are being urged to act quickly to take advantage of the READY TO ROAR package. The package includes the RM1,000 cash rebate, a limited edition Touch 'n Go card, and the yet-to-be-revealed GEMPAK! Deal, which is set to be announced during the official launch. The All-New Proton X50 represents a significant step forward for the national carmaker as it continues to elevate its product offerings in both performance and design. With demand surging and vehicles prepared for immediate delivery post-launch, the SUV is poised to reaffirm Proton's dominance in Malaysia's competitive B-segment SUV market.
