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

Woman upset as husband's father asked to buy second car
A woman recently shared her frustration after discovering that her husband's father has asked him to buy another car. In a Threads post, the woman voiced her disagreement with her father-in-law's request, alleging that her husband does not provide for her and their child. She further explained that the first car, a Perodua Bezza was involved in two accidents. 'Now, my father-in-law is buttering up my husband to get him to buy an Ativa instead — saying it's because the Bezza has been in two accidents. 'He already has no money but acts as though he is rich and lacks self-awareness. I just don't understand how people can be like this,' she said. Responding to a user's comment, she alleged that her husband neglects her and their child's needs. 'My husband is the type who can't stand to hear his parents say they don't have money — he'll just give them money straight away, even when he doesn't have any himself. But when I tell him that our child's needs and other things haven't been bought or paid for, and I say I need money, he yells at me,' she claimed in her post. As the post gained traction on social media, netizens were divided over her situation. While some praised the husband for prioritising his parents, many others agreed that he should have put his wife and child first. Some also pointed out that the Perodua Ativa is more expensive than the Perodua Bezza, criticising the father-in-law for asking the husband to buy it. 'Once a man takes his responsibility as the head of the family lightly, you're better off walking away. 'Don't stay just for the children, because the children will suffer too if they see their mother suffering,' one user advised. 'What's wrong with your husband? He should be prioritising his wife and child... Just drag him to court for not providing financial support,' urged another.
