MG Motor Malaysia has confirmed that its flagship all-electric roadster, the MG Cyberster, will take part in the upcoming 68th Merdeka Day Parade in Putrajaya on 31 August 2025. The roadster will appear as part of the electric vehicle contingent led by the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI), reinforcing the nation’s drive towards electrification and sustainable mobility.

The Cyberster, finished with a special MITI decal for the occasion, will be paraded alongside other EV brands in a demonstration of collective support for Malaysia’s green agenda. Its participation is significant not only because it represents MG’s bold entry into the era of electrification but also because it will be the only all-electric roadster in the line-up.

Drawing on MG’s British sports car heritage, the Cyberster blends tradition with cutting-edge EV innovation, making its Merdeka Day debut a symbolic moment. MG Motor Malaysia stated that the presence of the Cyberster at such a historic celebration reflects both pride and commitment to Malaysia’s ambitions of accelerating EV adoption nationwide. The company positioned the Cyberster as more than just a car, but as a symbol of progress, innovation, and a vision of a cleaner automotive future.

Emory QiFeng, Managing Director of SAIC Motor Malaysia, explained that MG’s involvement in the parade underlines the brand’s role in supporting Malaysia’s sustainability journey. The Cyberster, he said, embodies MG’s legacy while charting a bold new direction as an EV icon.

Visitors attending the Merdeka Day Parade can expect to witness the public appearance of the MG Cyberster, a striking and distinctive addition to this year’s national celebration. Its participation not only marks MG’s official introduction into the Malaysian public eye but also adds an electric charge to the spirit of Independence Day.
