Farewell Datuk Dr. Aminar Rashid Salleh, Terima Kasih For All You’ve Done For Perodua!

Our second national-car maker Perodua has seen its longest-serving President & Chief Executive Officer, Datuk (Dr) Aminar Rashid Salleh (below), 58, retire after nine years at the helm. Under Datuk (Dr) Aminar’s leadership, Perodua not only expanded its market share from 31.2% in 2010 to more than 37% as of year-to-date 2018, but also started the much-needed transformation initiative within the Perodua Group.

After-sales improved significantly, as well as cost efficiency, quality and delivery. Most importantly, Perodua embarked on a RM1.3 billion investment to build Perodua Global Manufacturing Sdn Bhd, Malaysia’s first Energy-Efficient Vehicle (EEV) Plant as certified by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI).

“The Perodua Board of Directors wishes to thank Datuk (Dr) Aminar for his contributions to Perodua and to the Malaysian automotive industry as a whole,” Perodua Chairman Tan Sri Asmat Kamaludin (above) said.

Datuk (Dr) Aminar is to be succeeded by Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad (below), previously Vice-President of Perodua Auto Corporation Sdn Bhd. He is expected to further efforts to work on improvements in efficiency and competitiveness, with the aim of expanding Perodua’s export business.

“To this end, the Perodua Board of Directors looks to Dato’ Zainal to lead the charge as he has the capability in managing Perodua as well as its vendors, suppliers and dealers to become regional players. Taking Perodua regional requires someone that can not only lead but who can also effectively engage the government and together navigate the ever-challenging automotive industry.” Tan Sri Asmat said.

“Dato’ Zainal has also proven his ability to work well with all shareholders, including Daihatsu Motor Company of Japan in bringing new technology to Perodua and encouraging investment within the country,” he added. Tan Sri Asmat said,

“The future of Perodua depends on our ability to work more harmoniously with Daihatsu as they have always been very supportive of us. Dato’ Zainal has proven that he is well-suited for this task.”

“With the manufacturing knowledge shared by Daihatsu, we were able to stay competitive domestically, and with their guidance, we are looking to further grow our business beyond Malaysia,” he added.

Datuk (Dr) Aminar’s tenure as Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer ends 31 December 2018, and Dato’ Zainal will take the helm from 1 January 2019. “We look forward to further progress under his leadership,” said Tan Sri Asmat.

About the new Perodua President & CEO…

Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad, 52, (above) holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Management Information Systems and Accounting from the Pacific Lutheran University, Washington, USA. He began his career in Perodua in 1995 in the cost control department, and was directly involved in creating Perodua’s manufacturing cost structure.

Dato’ Zainal will be the first President and Chief Executive Officer selected from within Perodua. He participated in the formulation of the National Automotive Policy (NAP) and is working closely with the government through the various bodies under the Ministry of International Trade and Industry to further improve the policy.

Dato’ Zainal was also instrumental in establishing the Sendayan, Negeri Sembilan powertrain hub, which incorporates Daihatsu Perodua Engine Manufacturing Sdn Bhd (opened 2016) and transmission plant Akashi Kikai Sdn Bhd (opened in 2015).

Perodua Models Now Between 1-3% Cheaper With SST Reintroduction Against GST!

In line with the government’s reintroduction of the Sales and Service Tax (SST) effective 1 September 2018, Perodua has released new prices for all its models, which are reduced by between 1-3% (for selected models, the image above refers to the car, ya – Ed.) compared with Goods and Services Tax (GST)-era pricing. “Based on the new tax structure, almost all Perodua models see price reductions compared to the GST price structure,” said Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd Managing Director Dato’ Dr Zahari Husin.

To recap, the government zeroed the GST rate (from 6%) on 1 June 2018, opening up a ‘tax holiday’ and a spike in vehicle demand that lasted three months. In July, the Finance Ministry announced that the SST, which was due to replace the GST, would be set at 10% for sales and 6% for services. “We wish to thank all Malaysians, especially our 3.3 million valued customers who have chosen Perodua as their brand of choice. We will continue to offer the best value in the Malaysian market with our new prices,” said Dato’ Dr Zahari.

“On Perodua’s service and parts, we will continue to give competitive pricing to our customers. We truly appreciate the unwavering support the people have shown for our products and services, and will continue to improve ourselves for our customers. Please visit any of our sales and service outlets nationwide and speak to our authorised sales and service advisors to learn more about our products and services,” said Dato’ Dr Zahari.

Perodua & Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd Receive ISO 9001 & 14001 Certification

Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) and its fully-owned subsidiary Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd have been formally certified by SIRIM to the latest 2015 versions of the ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) 9001 and 14001 standards, emphasising the company’s commitment to customer satisfaction and environmental responsibility.

To obtain ISO 9001 certification, an organisation must comply with quality best practices in their work processes, with the aim of improving customer satisfaction in every sense. ISO 14001 however, focuses on environmental standards. “SIRIM’s ISO recognition means a lot to Perodua as it reinforces our vision of becoming a regionally competitive player and demonstrates our strive for Kaizen or continuous improvement,” said Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Datuk (Dr) Aminar Rashid Salleh (below, centre) at a certificate presentation ceremony held recently at Perodua’s headquarters in Sungai Choh.

Also present at the ceremony was SIRIM QAS International Sdn Bhd Managing Director En Mohd Azanuddin Salleh, (above, right) who presented the certificates to Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd Managing Director Dato’ Dr Zahari Husin (above, left). Perodua first adopted ISO standards in 1998. ISO 9001 was extended to Perodua sales and service branches in stages from 2005, standardising the customer experience across the board. All Perodua branches are currently ISO-certified.

Altogether, Perodua has successfully undergone one ISO 14001 and three ISO 9001 version upgrades, including today’s certification, which covers a total of 39 sales and 55 service branches nationwide, plus 35 departments under Perodua Headquarters. “The demands of the market and industry never stop changing, and it is essential that we constantly update our standards and procedures to adapt and respond to those changes. Only if we remain relevant to our customers can we exceed their expectations,” said Datuk (Dr) Aminar. “With this certification upgrade, we hope to further reduce the satisfaction index gap between us and other recognised international players,” he added.

Datuk (Dr) Aminar said that Perodua will also extend these standards to its business partners, be they dealers or suppliers in the near future. “We will ensure our business partners and suppliers comply with green practices as required by ISO standards, including the sourcing of materials in environmentally-friendly ways,” he said. Besides taking customer satisfaction and environmental management to new heights, ISO practices have also led to improvements for Perodua’s internal processes and communications, as well as customer deliveries, amongst many others.

First introduced in 1987, ISO 9001 is one of the world’s most widely-used quality management systems, with the latest 2015 revision expanding the requirements to include risk-based thinking. ISO 14001 was born in 1996 and concerns environmental management and pollution prevention. The latest ISO 14001:2015 revision brings additional emphasis on leadership, strategic planning, proactive initiatives and even communications strategies.

“As the government has announced that the Sales and Services Tax (SST) will return in September, we encourage all Malaysians to capitalise on this three-month tax holiday.

On top of the zero GST, for June, Perodua is offering rebates of up to RM800 for selected models and variants. “Please visit any of our authorised sales and service outlets nationwide for more information on our products and services. We thank all Malaysians for their enduring support and wish all Muslims a blessed Ramadan and Selamat Hari Raya in advance!” said Dato’ Dr Zahari.
