This was mainly because of backlogged orders with dealers trying to beat the June 30th deadline for the Sales & Service Tax exemption. Jim Lim, an analyst at RHB Research, takes us through what we might expect for the sector amidst supply chain constraints along with Putrajaya's push to encourage EV adoption with its various incentives.
