Perodua has announced a reduction of up to 10% on service maintenance parts and labour costs across its entire vehicle lineup, offering some relief to Malaysians facing rising living expenses.
The initiative takes effect from 19 June 2026 and applies to all Perodua models, including the company&rsquo;s newly launched electric vehicle, the QV-E. Customers can expect savings on a wide range of maintenance services, from routine inspections and parts replacements to labour charges at authorised service centres nationwide.
According to the national carmaker, the move is part of its ongoing efforts to make vehicle ownership more affordable while ensuring customers continue to benefit from professional servicing and genuine replacement parts.
Customers Expected To Save Around 10% Per Service Visit
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1721e3c7b3fdba6cc3a5a60dab8db14232eaff79bc212d60013f5f6d06e44d27" />
Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad, said the revised pricing structure takes into account reductions in both maintenance parts and labour costs.
As a result, customers are expected to save approximately 10% on their average service bill.
&ldquo;We welcome our customers to visit our authorised service centres to find out more about the deal and to use genuine parts, so that your Perodua vehicle will continue to remain reliable and efficient when you need it most,&rdquo; he said.
He added that the company hopes the initiative will help reduce mobility-related expenses for Malaysians while providing greater value to existing customers.
Unlike typical promotional campaigns that focus only on selected components, Perodua&rsquo;s latest initiative covers both parts and workmanship costs, allowing owners to enjoy more meaningful savings during routine maintenance.
Applies To Every Perodua Model, Including The QV-E
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2121dd19c2d00b5f6f54c571551203945507ec7b97bb06647f7427c561237f2b" />
The service cost reduction is available across Perodua&rsquo;s entire range of vehicles, regardless of age or model.
Whether owners drive popular models such as the Myvi, Axia, Bezza, Alza, Ativa or Aruz, they will be eligible for the discounted servicing rates. The benefit also extends to the QV-E, Perodua&rsquo;s first fully electric vehicle.
The company said the campaign covers inspection services, maintenance packages, parts replacement and labour costs associated with vehicle servicing.
By including both conventional and electric vehicles, Perodua aims to ensure that all customers can enjoy lower ownership costs.
More Than Five Million Vehicles Stand To Benefit
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/97e57303731d79a37562f941dfa82bfbe17469eba646644fc4e2e6eaadbc7e10" />
Perodua estimates that more than five million of its vehicles are currently on Malaysian roads, making it by far the country&rsquo;s most widely owned automotive brand.
Internal company data also revealed that 3.7 million vehicles were serviced at authorised Perodua service centres throughout 2025 alone. Given the scale of its customer base, the company believes the latest initiative could help a significant number of Malaysians reduce their transportation expenses. Zainal noted that the reduction was made possible through improvements in operational efficiency and efforts to eliminate unnecessary wastage within the company.
&ldquo;We have improved efficiency while at the same time eliminating any wastages in our operations. The benefits of these activities are passed to our valued customers,&rdquo; he said.
Follows Recent Changes To QV-E Ownership Plans
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/cce7a0027e1151ee159eac446bef4e7418a638dfa72f08f05ec68f7d5419407f" />
The servicing discount comes shortly after Perodua introduced revisions to the ownership structure of its QV-E electric vehicle.
Earlier this week, the company expanded its EV ownership options by offering both an outright purchase model and a Battery as a Service (BAAS) programme.
Customers who prefer full ownership can purchase the QV-E together with its battery pack, while those seeking a lower initial purchase price can opt for the battery subscription plan.
Perodua said the changes were introduced following customer feedback and growing demand for more flexible EV ownership solutions.
With lower servicing costs now available across its entire range, the company is positioning itself to offer greater value to both existing and future customers while helping Malaysians manage the increasing cost of living.

Perodua Cuts Service Maintenance Costs By Up To 10% Across All Models Starting Today

Malaysia&rsquo;s highest-performing Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) students will soon receive a major boost in their academic journey, with public universities set to waive undergraduate tuition fees for the country&rsquo;s top achievers.
The new initiative, announced by Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek, will begin with the 2025 STPM cohort and benefit the 18 students recognised as the nation&rsquo;s top performers.
The sponsorship programme, which comes in the form of full tuition fee coverage, reflects the commitment of public universities to support outstanding students and ensure they have greater access to higher education opportunities.
Speaking during the STPM Top Students, Malaysian University English Test (MUET) and Malay Language Proficiency Certificate for Foreign Nationals awards ceremony, Fadhlina described the initiative as an important step towards strengthening Malaysia&rsquo;s Form Six ecosystem.
Encouraging More Students To Choose Form Six 
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8558cefaa2784befeab1c301fab28f9debd46a19c98532353fdcc55bb3f91260" />
According to Fadhlina, every public university will sponsor at least one of the top STPM students by covering their undergraduate tuition fees.
She expressed appreciation to public universities for supporting the initiative and voiced hopes that the programme can be expanded in the future.
&ldquo;If this year it is one student, hopefully next year it can be five,&rdquo; she said, adding that the ministry wants to ensure deserving students can continue their education at degree level without financial barriers.
The initiative forms part of broader efforts to encourage more students to pursue Form Six studies, which remains one of Malaysia&rsquo;s most respected and affordable pre-university pathways.
The government has also introduced several measures in recent years to strengthen Form Six education, including the expansion of Form Six colleges, the provision of smartboards, school assistance programmes, MADANI Book Vouchers and additional academic support initiatives.
STPM 2025 Records Stronger Results
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/cba8b13dac584603bf8b2992530dc130b773553e62093ac58dafb77adb55da50" />
The announcement comes alongside another positive milestone for STPM candidates.
The Malaysian Examinations Council revealed that 1,336 students achieved a perfect 4.0 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) in the 2025 examination, an increase of 70 students compared to the previous year.
The number represents 3.5 per cent of the 40,199 candidates who registered for the examination.
Overall performance also improved, with Malaysia&rsquo;s national CGPA rising from 2.85 in 2024 to 2.88 in 2025 &mdash; the highest national average ever recorded for the examination.
Meanwhile, the number of students obtaining five As increased from 53 in 2024 to 60 in 2025, while those earning four As rose from 1,228 to 1,285 candidates.
The percentage of candidates achieving a full pass in four or five subjects also increased, reaching 77.64 per cent compared to 76.55 per cent the previous year.
Recognising Excellence Across Different Categories
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d3ed174af0f9e649e82a37bcbea783172ac60ab2812686651f0905158b36ff5c" />
This year&rsquo;s 18 top national achievers represent a diverse group of students from various backgrounds.
The recipients include seven students from the Science stream, seven from the Social Science stream, one Orang Asli student, and three students with special educational needs, including candidates with visual impairments and other disabilities.
In recognition of their achievements, each student received RM1,000 in cash, a plaque and a certificate, in addition to the newly announced tuition fee sponsorships.
Parents And Teachers Recognised For Their Support
Fadhlina also paid tribute to parents and teachers, highlighting the important role they play in students&rsquo; academic success.
She noted that exceptional examination results are rarely achieved through individual effort alone, but are often supported by families and educators who continuously encourage students throughout their educational journey.
The minister stressed that STPM remains one of the strongest pathways into higher education, offering students a solid foundation before progressing to degree-level studies.
With tuition fee waivers now being offered to the country&rsquo;s best performers, the government hopes more students will see Form Six as an attractive route towards achieving their academic ambitions while strengthening Malaysia&rsquo;s education system for the future.

Pokémon’s 30th Anniversary Celebration Is Coming To Kuala Lumpur With Malaysia’s First Pokémon Drone Show, Pop-Up Store And More!

After years of anticipation, Australian pop-rock band 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS) is finally returning to Malaysia, and the response from fans has been nothing short of extraordinary.
The group initially announced a one-night-only stop in Kuala Lumpur as part of their EVERYONE'S A STAR! World Tour 2026. However, demand proved so overwhelming that tickets were snapped up within minutes, prompting the band to add a second Malaysian concert date.
For many local fans, the announcement marks a long-awaited return, with 5SOS set to perform in Malaysia for the first time in a decade.
Who Are 5 Seconds Of Summer?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/00807ee8b786d962a997467ad260df96b91b482ab2870f132493150ab2161ff9" />
Formed in Sydney, Australia, in 2011, 5 Seconds of Summer consists of Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood and Ashton Irwin. The quartet first gained attention through YouTube covers before achieving global fame after touring with British-Irish boyband One Direction.

Their breakthrough came with the release of "She Looks So Perfect" in 2014, a song that quickly became an international hit and helped launch the band onto the global stage. Since then, they have become one of the world's most successful pop-rock acts, blending elements of pop-punk, alternative rock and mainstream pop.
Over the years, 5SOS has delivered a string of fan-favourite hits including "Amnesia", "Youngblood", "Want You Back", "Teeth", and "Easier".
The band has enjoyed considerable commercial success, earning numerous accolades throughout their career. They have won multiple awards, including several American Music Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards and People's Choice Awards, while also achieving billions of streams across music platforms worldwide.
Known for their energetic live performances and passionate fanbase, 5SOS has continued to evolve musically while maintaining the loyal following that helped them rise to fame more than a decade ago.
About The EVERYONE'S A STAR! World Tour
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/525e671f02233c409e14ab7ccf3eb806df6ee240afe6036f451114174c00363b" />
The band's latest world tour supports their sixth studio album, EVERYONE'S A STAR!, which was released following the success of singles such as "Telephone Busy", "NOT OK" and "Boyband".
The tour was first announced in October 2025 and officially began in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on 26 March 2026. It has since taken the band across multiple regions, with shows scheduled throughout Europe, Asia and beyond.
The Asian leg of the tour kicks off in Bangkok on 9 November before travelling to Manila, Jakarta, Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, Hong Kong and several other major cities.
The tour has already generated huge demand across the region, leading to additional dates being added in several countries, including Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taipei and the Philippines.
Kuala Lumpur Gets A Second Show

Originally, 5SOS was only scheduled to perform at Kuala Lumpur's Unifi Arena on 17 November 2026.
However, after tickets sold out almost immediately, organisers confirmed an additional Malaysian concert on 4 December 2026, giving fans another opportunity to catch the band live.
Both shows will take place at Unifi Arena, formerly known as Axiata Arena, with performances scheduled to begin at 8pm.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1024dabe6060c285a60d882de8e4200dc84899b052fda0e49d0059fee452b0b6" />
Ticket prices for the newly announced concert start from RM298, with premium VIP packages available for fans seeking an enhanced concert experience. The highest-tier VIP packages include early venue access, entry to a pre-show soundcheck session, exclusive merchandise opportunities, commemorative gifts and special VIP privileges.

As excitement builds for the band's return to Malaysia, fans can revisit both classic favourites and new material from their latest album, EVERYONE'S A STAR!.
The album features tracks such as "Telephone Busy", "NOT OK" and "Boyband", showcasing the band's continued evolution while retaining the sound that made them global stars.
For Malaysian fans who have waited years to see 5SOS return, December is shaping up to be one of the biggest concert moments of the year.

5 Seconds Of Summer Adds Second Kuala Lumpur Show After First Concert Sells Out Within Minutes

Good news for Malaysians who still rely on cash for their daily spending. Starting 1 July 2026, bank customers will no longer have to pay the RM1 fee when withdrawing money from another bank&rsquo;s ATM or Smart Recycler Machine (SRM), making cash withdrawals more convenient and affordable across the country.
The initiative, announced by Malaysia&rsquo;s banking industry in collaboration with Payments Network Malaysia Sdn Bhd (PayNet), means debit cardholders can enjoy unlimited free interbank cash withdrawals at more than 14,000 ATMs and SRMs nationwide.
No More RM1 Charge For Interbank Withdrawals
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a0e55d3364ff4f2236dc1ea3eaa8ed1a835c6674dfa76dab53833d6ccd3765da" />
Previously, customers who withdrew cash from an ATM belonging to a different bank than the one that issued their debit card would be charged an RM1 fee for every transaction.
From 1 July onwards, that charge will be removed completely. Regardless of which participating bank issued the debit card, customers will be able to withdraw cash from any participating ATM or SRM across Malaysia without paying an additional fee.
The waiver applies to all ATMs and Smart Recycler Machines operated by banks nationwide, giving users greater flexibility to use whichever machine is most convenient.
Unlimited Free Withdrawals Across More Than 14,000 Machines
The new initiative will provide debit cardholders with unlimited fee-free withdrawals through a network of over 14,000 banking machines across the country.
This means consumers no longer need to search for their own bank&rsquo;s ATM simply to avoid paying extra charges. Whether they are travelling, working in another town or simply using the nearest available machine, they can access their money without worrying about additional costs.
The move is expected to make everyday banking more accessible, especially for those who frequently withdraw cash.
Cash Still Plays An Important Role
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a6df2dcf736fdb223ef23e19f12aaa7e5871870b5dd832e4383b36dfcc9e4e23" />
Although Malaysia continues to embrace digital payments and cashless transactions, the banking industry recognises that cash remains an essential payment method for many people.
For many Malaysians, particularly those in rural communities, small businesses or markets where cash is still commonly used, easy access to physical money remains important in managing daily expenses.
The banking associations said removing the interbank withdrawal fee reflects their commitment to providing reliable, inclusive and affordable banking services while helping to reduce the financial burden on consumers.
A Welcome Change For Consumers
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/dcbec64368afafad2e3fa44491b37f99d674600d44042ac6e67482245900cf73" />
The RM1 charge has long been criticised by members of the public, with many questioning why customers should pay extra simply to access their own money.
The fee was temporarily waived during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 to encourage people to use the nearest available ATM during movement restrictions. However, it returned in February 2022 after the temporary relief ended.
Its permanent removal is likely to be welcomed by regular cash users, particularly those living in areas where their own bank&rsquo;s ATM may not always be nearby.
While RM1 may seem like a small amount, the cost can quickly add up for people who make multiple withdrawals each month.
Supporting Both Cash And Cashless Payments
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/87b00be9a310644902cf25a1e2f7ae4f4429c6c45127bfcd96769699c8866ace" />
The banking industry emphasised that while cash remains an important option, it will continue promoting secure and convenient digital payment methods as Malaysia progresses towards a more cashless economy.
Rather than encouraging one payment method over another, banks say customers should have the freedom to choose whichever option best suits their needs.
By removing the interbank withdrawal fee while continuing to improve digital banking services, the industry hopes to make financial services more inclusive and accessible for all Malaysians.
One Less Fee To Worry About
For consumers, the change means greater flexibility and savings every time they need cash. Whether withdrawing from an ATM at a shopping mall, petrol station or another bank branch, Malaysians can now do so without paying the additional RM1 charge.
With unlimited free interbank withdrawals becoming available from 1 July, accessing your own money is about to become a little simpler&mdash;and a little cheaper.

Goodbye, RM1 interbank withdrawal fee. You won’t be missed.

Malaysians Can Withdraw Cash From Any ATM For Free From July 1 As RM1 Interbank Fee Is Scrapped

Artificial intelligence has become part of everyday life for millions of people, helping with everything from writing and coding to research and problem-solving. However, recent developments have shown that access to some of the most advanced AI systems can change overnight due to government intervention.
Just days after launching its latest technology, AI company Anthropic has been ordered by the United States government to suspend access to two of its newest and most powerful models &mdash; Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 &mdash; over national security concerns.
What Is Claude Fable 5?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2ea3fec6dfdd437b7d87d7e5066c9e9e9a1893720e942c44b8305f361bd8c456" />
For those unfamiliar with the name, Claude is Anthropic&rsquo;s family of artificial intelligence models designed to compete with systems such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini.
Claude Fable 5 is the company&rsquo;s latest publicly available flagship model, built to handle complex tasks such as software development, scientific research, data analysis and advanced reasoning. It is based on the even more powerful Claude Mythos 5, which was previously only available to a limited number of organisations because of its highly advanced cybersecurity capabilities.
Anthropic has described Fable 5 as one of its safest and most capable AI models, with built-in safeguards designed to prevent misuse in sensitive areas such as cyberattacks and biological research.
Why Has The US Government Stepped In?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/272b91477047eea99ea695bd2e00c8f99ba4674ed3e7decd8c637a5f48412f3a" />
According to Anthropic, the US government issued an export control directive requiring the company to suspend access to Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 for foreign nationals due to national security concerns.
Although officials have not publicly explained the exact reason behind the decision, Anthropic believes it relates to concerns that someone may have found a way to &ldquo;jailbreak&rdquo; the model. In AI terms, jailbreaking refers to techniques that bypass safety restrictions and make the system produce responses it was originally designed to block.
The company says it reviewed the reported issue and concluded that it only revealed a handful of previously known, relatively minor software vulnerabilities. Anthropic also argued that other publicly available AI models are capable of identifying similar issues without needing any jailbreak methods.
Despite disagreeing with the government's assessment, the company said it had no choice but to comply with the directive.
Access Suspended Worldwide
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/612d53c944a1b5261ef1c096a45d7c31cff6f797edf7429c09d4c491ece5d79c" />
Rather than limiting access only to foreign nationals, Anthropic has temporarily disabled Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 for everyone around the world.
The company explained that this broad shutdown was the quickest way to ensure compliance with the order while it works with authorities to resolve the issue. Existing users attempting to access the models are now automatically redirected to older Claude versions, while all other Anthropic AI models remain available.
Anthropic maintains that it believes the situation is based on a misunderstanding and hopes the restrictions can be lifted as soon as possible.
A Major Debate Over AI Regulation
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3f83b9152facdd6b72e038ec35d90b256572bc4bd7d0cf2e2f3ff9326fcdeb6b" />
The move has sparked wider discussions about how governments should regulate increasingly powerful AI systems.
Supporters of tighter controls argue that advanced models capable of discovering cybersecurity weaknesses could pose serious risks if misused by malicious actors or hostile governments. Others believe that restricting access could slow innovation and make international research collaboration more difficult.
Anthropic itself has previously supported stronger oversight of frontier AI technologies but argues that any intervention should be transparent, evidence-based and technically justified.
The company warned that if every potential jailbreak or vulnerability led to a complete withdrawal of an AI model, it could significantly delay the release of future technologies across the entire industry.
What It Means For Users
For now, users hoping to access Claude Fable 5 or Claude Mythos 5 will have to wait while Anthropic continues discussions with US authorities.
The incident also serves as a reminder that cloud-based AI services remain subject to government regulations and policy changes, regardless of where users are located. Businesses and researchers that rely heavily on a single AI platform may increasingly need backup options to avoid disruptions.
As governments around the world continue grappling with the rapid pace of artificial intelligence development, the balance between innovation and national security is likely to remain one of the industry's biggest challenges.

Anthropic claims the move was driven by concerns about a possible jailbreak, but insists there may have been a misunderstanding.
